Just found out I've started to make a reputation for myself amongst some coworkers I've never even met at my job. I met a medic at shift change this morning, and he asked if I was the guy who performed an inappropriate RSI on someone I "overdosed" a few weeks ago. Just great. I don't really know what to do about rumors that start from someone listening in on a med patch to the hospital and spread that quickly.

Code 3 transport from one hospital to a different hospital. Hospital A decided to push tPA for a stroke but didn't do any testing before hand. Turned out it was a hemorrhagic stroke. Doc in the ICU at the receiving hospital was not happy at all.

According to ASLS, a CT is necessary prior to tPA...yikes. Poor Pt, I hope it all works out.

I haven't seen him around anymore but I saw this and couldn't pass up posting it. The more senior members will know who I'm talking about.

Are you kidding me? I smell a malpractice suit in the making.

Talk about dotting your I's and crossing your T's on someone's death warrant...
