43 y/o anteroseptal infarct with elevation in V3, V4, V5. Nailed it on history, serial 12- leads (nine in 12 minutes) and a hefty dose of confidence. Door to cath in less than 15 minutes, not bad for this hospital.

Bounced out of clinicals early. Hope that crew enjoys the code they are about to get
 
Well. Telling a 9 year old that his Mom is dead wasn't even remotely on my list of things to do today.

For all the nonsense falls we take to the hospital just to find nothing, this poor lady that didn't call 911 ended up having the one head bleed that killed an otherwise healthy young woman.
 
I annoys me greatly that the AED pads used in our whacker bags, the ground transport, and Air Care are all different and not interchangeable.. Know how I found out? The hard way.

Sorry bout your morning Chaz.. I'm sincerely sorry.

That sucks. Sorry dude. Seemed like it was just a crummy day, or night, all around.

Chaz~
I'm so sorry you had to do that. Telling someone that their loved one is not coming back has got to be so hard. Exponentially harder if that person is a child.
 
First code in four months. Deader than a brick.

We've got adapters attached to our LP12's therapy capable that allows us to plug into fire's Phillips brand pads. They're about 30-40 bucks if I remember, might be useful to get one for the ambulance.
 
Im like a kid on christmas. Our local emergency responder charity is starting an EMS only softball tournament. Im excited to start playing again!
 
Made it to Ohio and got all settled in. Taking my practical in the AM.

I swear Ohio is the absolute worst state to drive through! And we had to go all the way to the bottom of it. At least I have my work husband to keep me company.

For the past couple months I've been planning on attending an SCA event that is coming up in a couple weeks. I've been working hard on garb and gathering the other stuff I'll need that day.

Today I got an invitation for a cookout with the animal rescue I volunteer with. It will be held within 5 miles of my house. Its on the same day as the SCA event. The SCA event is well over an hour away from home so there's no way I can go to both. I'm torn. I wish I could be in two places at once.

My social calendar is so empty... why do these two events have to land on the same day???

I would only think so. "Garb" and "SCA" in the same context is pretty much a tell.

Yup :)

I happened to stumble across an event being held by the local 'province' this spring. So I went home, dug out the outfit I wore to my cousin's wedding and went back to join in the fun.

I'm the one on the far left. Sure my outfit wasn't exactly period, but it was close enough. This time I'm making something much closer to period.

Most people don't dress for that occasion. (In fact, they're often naked, and wedged between the toilet and bathtub)

And if they were dressed at the start they usually aren't by the end. If they're really lucky they'll be rocking a gown by the end, maybe just maybe.

My arrests don't rock gowns. They sport a trendy "full body sheet" in the ECU.
