Traded up my tactical black littman classic II for a dark olive green cardiology III.

Subsequently got kicked out of the Tactical Stethy club at work

I got the same one. You can join Aprz's Club. It's very very exclusive.

Who'd have think a .380 would do so much damage?

Femur...popliteal artery...I feel like that might be bad?

That could hurt A lot

Yea. It wasn't pretty. His pressure was 70/40 in trendelenburg position after two SWAT-Ts we finally stopped the external bleeding.

I wanted to give him fentanyl but at an easy 375 lbs we didn't get a line until we were backing into the hospital. I somehow pulled a 20g out of somewhere and sniped it on his proximal hand. By the time it was secured and fluids were tied in we were pulling him out of the back.

Pretty crazy call though. PD actually applied the first SWAT-T prior to my arrival.

Was it self inflicted?

I decided to pick up a 24 hour shift in a town that is famous for getting stabbing and shootings very often. I want some good calls. I've been way too much of a white cloud recently.

No, he said accidental discharge when his drunk buddy was playing with it but his story didn't add up, gang unit was all over the place and we got a PD escort for "safety"...

At least your PD knows when to apply a tourniquet. Ours apply them to minor capillary bleeding and then they get awards and glorify themselves on their facebook page and in the news.

I'd take a .380 over a .308 any day, though any lead injection is typically a bad one.

Is that a PD/FD combo :rofl:

You're allowed to pick up shifts in Hemet?

Dont even get me started on the FD

 

[DesertMedic66]

If they are low on staffing then they will open up and allow us to fill shifts (it's been happening pretty much every week). But the area I'm talking about is Desert Hot Springs.

Nice.

 

[DesertMedic66]

Nice.

It's crazy. We still have crews covering for the strike that's going on, plus covering Hemet units, plus we are adding a new 24 hour car.

 

[Jambi]

Dirty Hot Springs.

Fixed that for you

 

[DesertMedic66]

Fixed that for you

The dirty. You know it's bad when even dispatchers say "Medic 304 cover the dirty".

Shootings at locations that we post (no ambulances have been there when the shootings occurred). Homeboy drop offs at the fire station, ambulance station, and PD. Main response bags have been swiped up on scene. Low income area mixed with drugs and gangs.

"The dirty"......hahahahaha. Our downtown San Bernardino post is referred to by all as "The jungle".
