the 100% directionless thread

[MedicPrincess]

This is my 4th day off in a row and I haven't enjoyed them one bit. Finally gave in and quit calling my cough "Allergies" after the fever hit 4 days ago.

Of course my BF really earned his spot in my heart when he woke me up, with flowers in hand, and told me "Even with that snot on your face and that gross sound you make when you breath, your still gorgeous."

Love him.

I dont know, but some of mine previously have been.

Interesting day, glad it is almost over. Hopefully the trolls find a new bridge.

Oh. Wasn't sure if there was something of value that they were trying to steal. I mean I do not recall giving much personal info when I joined in 2007.

"Even with that snot on your face and that gross sound you make when you breath, your still gorgeous."

Wow thats either true love or he's guilty.

Hope you get better soon.

[BossyCow]

I point out 1 thing and you start crap. Admin should ban you for starting a hostile environment.

So, Medic417 tell us a bit about yourself

 

[Levinoss]

I for one definitely appreciate the effort made to keep Trolls and the Uncivil off this forum. They are doing a good job at what is probably an unfun task

It's sometimes fun but most of the time it's boring. Try moderating a video game forum. You will want to scratch your eyes out some days.

Things I hate today: The RMV.

So, I got really behind on this thread and decided to skip to the end.

KevD, the answer to your riddle is the numbers 1-2-2. They are for his street address on the outside of his house. Unless you already got your answer.

And, it's another balmy -24C with a windchill of -37C. I don't know where all this global warming Hoo-Ha is coming from. At least I have heated seats.

Wow, almost 100 posts. I really need to get motivated to socialize on here a little more. But, it's northern Alberta and nothing happens up here. I haven't done an emerg call since Christmas day. And that was for 3 people with Norwalk at the lodge 30 minutes from here.

 

[MedicPrincess]

Had the worst fire in 100 yrs here last night.... took out a city block. Sad, it was in the historical district.

 

[RESQ_5_1]

UPDATE-----> Just got a call for a 14 y/o female with SOB. Didn't get to neb or anything. Standard O2 and transport. Still, a nice 20 min. drive with lights and sirens down the wonderfully icy roads.

 

[RESQ_5_1]

Aaaaaaaaaaand......this makes post number 100. Figured since I was this close on a diretionless thread, it makes sense.

 

[TgerFoxMark]

ugh. ice sucks.
but off the topic of trolls.. all ya need to do is exercise your BAN HAMMER like a second penis.
And topic change again, why is it always the ones with the bad injurys the nicest, and the ones with a splinter the biggest arseholes around?
off topic again...

I Like Cheese on my crackers.









...roomate's note to Mark... please sober up before posting :censored::censored::censored::censored:. And dont leave it on your screen when you head to the restroom. You won't notice me hiding this down here..

so it just occured to me that with the addition of my recent gig, ive been written up by every cl still active on the board.

not sure id go quite so far as to call it an accomplishment, but its probably unique.

 

[RESQ_5_1]

Got another emerg call today. Sent to the lodge for an 88 y/o female with an artificial knee who has become more non-weight bearing than usual.

I had quite a time trying to come up with a p/c, non-smart alecky assessment reason for my PCR. Opted to go with "General Weakness".

Just to clarify a few terms for those who might be confused. We have 3 locations that are primarily senior citizen residences.

Garrison Manor: A senior apt complex with no assistance from any type of health care workers. Generally, independant living without the isolation of living on their own.

Harvest Lodge (the source for most of our calls): A senior housing facility where the residents aren't as independant as the Garrison Manor and assisted by Home Health Care workers. These are not medically trained personnel and are there primarily to assist with meds and some ADLs.

Fairview LTC: This is your standard LTC facility. Staffed by PMAs and Nurses. The residents here are primarily dependant on staff to fulfill their needs as far as feeding, takingmeds, and ADLs.

Have you guys had the FUZE drinks? They are really yummy. Will probably be found to cause cancer.... but they are still delicious.

First O.R. clinical today. Made some errors, learned from them, improved technique. Made some other errors, improved again. Sank some tubes. Basically had a blast. A very educational day. Clinicals are for practice and experience. Today I certainly got both.

Went to the E.R. resussatation/trauma room with the anesthetist. We had no idea why, just that we were called "stat". Walked into one of the messiest CF I've seen. A septic pt had arrested. Five RNs, 1 ER DR., 1 RT, 1 DR Internal med specialist. 1 obese pt and more blood splatter than a crime scene. Needless to say they had a problem intubating. My Doc (preceptor) got the scene straightened out. Pt tubed, (2 attempts, 2nd with a bougie). CPR and O2 seemed to get the heart working again. He put in a central line and 2 art lines. The crowd was cut down to the Dr., 2 Rns, 2 Rts and me. Since I work out of the ER all the time I knew everyone and where enough stuff was to be somewhat helpful.

As I was looking around at all the blood and splatter I thought I should look at myself. I as well as everyone was wearing some but at least I was wearing scrubs and booties. It wasn't my laundry problem.

It was a good day.
