Wife filed for divorce today :(.

I know I haven't gone through it. But from a youngen and outsider view. You're going to be away from the stresses that she's causing and you can start to really move on.

Sorry to hear you do have to go through it though.

Just used the word eructation in my pcr. Feeling kinda special right now.

Just because you Canadians have superior EMS training doesn't mean you gotta shove it in our faces all the time! :-D

We've had about 10 inches of rain in the last 48 hours. The sprinklers will still come on on Saturday. Automatic sprinklers.

Rain Sensors do wonders!!!
So does turning the system off, very simple to do. If you need a walk through just give me a shout I do irrigation all the time!

I could care less. The water comes from a recycled system. All the homes in our neighborhood are on the same system.

Rain fills up our lakes/ponds. Pipes from the lake irrigate our lawns.

The beauty of living in a master planned city.

Getting my car detailed, going to get a price quote on it Wednesday, shop around for a truck in that price range and make a swap.

That's how it's supposed to work anyway

Another fun day in the NICU, one of my patients was going through DTs as well as having a NSTEMI and various other problems. He was on a versed/fentanyl drip with versed running @ 18mg/hr :eek: which had him out with a RASS of -3, but we had to pause the drips to do a few procedures and after ~ 15 seconds off the drips he was up fighting and required a 20 mg bolus to get him back down. But I did get to do some arterial sticks, draw sterile cultures, learned a lot about vents, and gave tons of medication. Also go to help set up a Lidco non invasive cardiac monitor (http://www.lidco.com/), very cool alternative to using a PA line. He did have an A line which I love, especially since i was hanging Norepi and dobutamine.

Then the 500lb guy in the room next door almost extubated himself, which would have meant a surgical cric since it took the doctors about 2 hours to figure out how they were going to intubate him in the first place.

Vomiting feces. They also had c diff. I did all I could not to vomit myself.

I usually wear a N95 mask, it helps a little. I have seen people put vicks inside but never tried it.
