Well, two ER calls today. Both receiving facilities *****ed my partner and I out about not diverting to a more appropriate facility.... ie, Doctors being lazy and not wanting to deal with what their being paid to do.
I bought mine from CVS and it's fantastic for anyone without cold fingers. I highly recommend them for anyone on a BLS rig without cardiac monitors or ALS equipment. A digression, but I'm looking at the portable 3 lead as well (only since I'n dysrythmia certified
So had a CCT & RT call rolled into one yesterday. S/P Cardiac Arrest. Hx of AAA and a whole list of other stuff to complicate. On lots of potassium and amiodarone. Lets just say the CC-RN, RT, and I were sweating bullets during the entire transport (took us about an hour to get everything...
24 hour shift we can sleep on. Any suggestions for passing time?
NV- good man, way to get the stress out.
As far as the 7 person transport. I saw 6 the most at one time. There was a 4 man crew for training, the PT and a family member. Looked like a clown car lol.
NVRob... listen to some Dirty Dirty Electro House... that usually cheers me up a bit when i'm feeling down.
Side note: I have my first 24 hour shift tomorrow.... any suggestions?
It's a bit chilly, round 35 at night for the last week or so.
Personally I like cold weather in Cali, we dont get much for a change of seasons so the cold windy weather reminds me of the Christmas time we never really get.
Trust me 70-80 and sunny does get old after a while..... say 22 years
Cause NVRob and I have similar taste in music
Cause USAFMedic45 has got my back (especially when it comes to NTG)
Linuss is my Eyes & Ears in TX, DFW area (and we're xbox live friends)
Most scenarios here are great for critical thinking
and it's a great place to just plain ol' shoot...
