Was he being a little cunt weaving in and out of traffic or was it another driver's fault .
>>693228538
I do not. Seen much worse than what you could even imagine. I've become very jaded.
Did anybody blow their fingers off lighting fireworks for the 4th of July?
>>693228622
It was at no fault of anything. So far, they believe he had a seizure. So if anything, it was his own fault because you can't have a motorcycle license with a history of seizures.
>>693228124
do old ladies really call and say "help! I've fallen and I cant get up!"
>>693228751
Surprisingly. No, not this year.
>>693228950
Yes. A lot.
>>693228491
Holy shit, was this in V.A.?
I saw one heading southbound earlier today shredding up the interstate.
>>693228947
Maybe it was his first one? That's gotta be a pretty poor way to make your edit.
Every 60 minutes, 4,000 children die of starvation. Countless more are beaten to death, raped and or sold into slavery. Yesterday a girl i know was convicted of adultery after being raped and her immediate family threw rocks at her until she died.
Tell me again why I should give one flying fuck about what you do.

WTF kinda gurney is that? I've only seen Strykers
>>693229351
Nah. Wear leathers and a DOT approved helmet and most people walk away from bad moto accidents. Just don't hit a guard rail.

>>693228124
WHAT IS THE MOST COMMON INJURY YOU SEE????
>>693229551
Our shit ambo and stretcher. We have auto loading and auto stretcher. Can take a picture if you want to see our 140k dollar setup.
>>693229807
YES!
I'm going to just ask the question that's on everyone's minds.
What's the strangest thing someone has lodged in their ass?
>>693229753
Most common traumatic injury? Definitely falls from the elderly. So I'd say a hip injury.
i've taken spills off bikes and studied enough biology and physics to know that humans have no natural adaptation to anything faster than 20 miles an hour.
any human who does take such risks deserves to spill his brains in ambulance any day.
>>693229807
Shit, wish we had auto loading. Especially for bari calls.
>>693229887
Okay gimme a minute.
>>693229932
Wedding topper. "Fell on it"
>>693230022
Our stretcher goes 700 lbs and 32 inch wide. All electric. It's nice.
>>693229709
I am an American citizen. I work for Exxon Mobil in Nigeria. The girl was 14 and worked everyday. She had saved her entire life and had enough to go to university. Her father plans to use the money to buy cattle. She was a human.

How accurate is Greys Anatomy (when it comes to a paramedic point of view)?
OP from another thread. Copy and paste
any med fags or law fags?
some idiot rear ended my car when i was at a red light.
ER gave me some muscle relaxers.
I been taking muscle relaxers but when i tilt my head back to look up i feel some pain in my neck. I am sure its not the muscles because i can tell the difference....
When i try to bend down to make 90 degrees i feel some pain on my lower back. the closer i get to 90 degrees the more pain i get...
Before it was a sharp lightning pain but now its gotten better so its just a minor pain.
what do? please help.. am i going to be ok? (i have there insurance info)
pic unrelated. tits for you /b/ros
Difference between para and emt?
How much you make and what state?
Why you continue to so it man? Do you feel like its your calling?

So you work for a company that contributes to third world problems who's only goal is profit. Hypocrite much?
>>693230314

How do you know when systolic?
Whats a good go to for helping someone mid heart attack?
Was he wearing a helmet? if he was being a squid then his own fault. if he was more details on the accident.
have crashed a couple times at the track and once on the road lady ran into me at a stop light. never had worse than bruises and a sprained wrist from flying over the handlebars and landing hands first on the ground. wear your gear motorcyclist and you'll be fine. never understood harley riders w/o helmets.
>>693230554
Quit being a little bitch. 2 days rest you should be fine. Parafag.
>>693230663
Difference is skills. I make about 60k a year as a medic in PA. I do it because I love helping people.

Then yep, youre a dick suckin cock gobbler.
Hey, im thinking about becoming a paramedic, whats the education required and courses you needed to get into that?
>>693231428
That's what I'm worried about
Do you serve any niggers?
What's your schedule like/hours per week? Is it ever too much for you?
>>693228124
do you serve trailer trash crackers?
>>693228124
do you ever have dream about the people you let die
>>693231289
I never could understand that either. I was probably the only Harley rider ever who wore a full face helmet. Everyone always said that it ain't gonna help you when you hit a semi head on at 70 mph. Which is true, nothing is gonna help you then, but I'm worried about the old lady who turns in front of me when I'm going 30mph. Which happened. And I was fine. Needed a new helmet and jacket, but I was fine...well sore...but fine.
What's the most fucked up thing you've seen on the job
>>693231916
Were you...fine...?
>>693232028
Piggybacking on this
How much blood have you seen in one bleed out?
>>693229283
Then what are doing on 4chan? Shouldnt you be out saving the world? At least this faggot scoops dead/injured people off the road, what did you do today to make the world a better place?
>>693231247
Asystole is what you see when they show a "flat line". Only 2 shockable rhythms. V-tach and v-fib.
>>693231289
Yes. DOT approved at that. He hit a guard rail. The rail did most the damage. Pretty much amputated his arm, leg, and multiple skull fractures.
>>693231384
Yes
>>693231428
No. Totally fucked.
>>693231656
Depends on the state. Usually emt then medic. Medic is about 2 years of hell.
>>693231822
About 36 hours a week. I do 1 12 hour shift and 1 24 hour shift. So I work 3 days a week.
>>693231854
I have. But not here. I work in upper blue collar now.

EMT student here, i think it varies from state but for a paramedic you need 1.5k hours or a 2year college degree for it

>>693231868
No.
>>693231916
Wear you're fucking helmet.
>>693232028
Probably last week. Never ventilated a patient to only see his ear raise because his neck was broken.
>>693232200

Without overtime about 30k.

What was the closest save you had?
Alternatively, how many calls do you average per week?

>>693233847
About 2 months.
>>693234069
OP here. Please tell me, how do you ventilate a patient with a broken neck, perpendicular to a normal resting place. Compound that with multiple skull fractures.
>>693234202
Best save? They are usually diabetics or OD's. We have drugs that can stop that shit instantly.
>>693234473
Those are fun. Be safe brother.
>>693228124
have you ever played with the boobies or pussy of a person under your care?
>>693229665
Go for a snell helmet if you're doing stupid shit.
Had my motocross bike land on my head after a particularly bad wipeout in the dunes last week. Pretty sure a cheaper helmet would've killed me.
>>693234718
Constantly. I've had more tests, background checks and drug tests than I've had in years.
>>693228124
i want to be a paramedic. I'm worried about my future though. Just got married and while we aren't planning on kids, we're thinking about it someday. Are you comfortable with your pay rate? Do you think it would be a good job to have for a lifetime, or is it something you can only do when you are young?
>>693234722
Im the EMT student, you tell me. if his neck is at a 90 degree angle to where it should be, wouldnt a tracheotomy be needed? Medics get to do more stuff than us, are you allowed to cut open a neck?
>>693230305
And I should care why? People die every day, good people bad people, young people old people, smart people stupid people, you me he she us them.
Why should we care about death? Everyone dies, the fact that it shocks us still is particularly stupid, we all know it's there, waiting. So why should we care?
Enjoy what you got, you won't get more.
>>693234758
No.
>>693234783
Those rock.
So... he's dead?
Why didn't you help me when i dieded?
>>693235240
Why didint you help my nigger when he niggerited?
>>693228124
Are you into cock tributes? If not why? Anyone not into cock tributes in 2016 is completely delusional.
>>693235007
It's tough but manageable. Depends where you live and where you work. City job? Look at 60k plus full benefits for free.
>>693235062
Yes. Technically. However remeber ABC's. No pulse you compress. Guy didn't have a pulse. So we had to do with what we had. If we had gotten pulses maybe a surgical crich would be necessarily but that's only upper airway. His neck was completely broken. Wouldn't have done much.

No
>>693235818
>not knowing difference between a medic and a doctor
Consider suicide
>>693235699
No pulse you go from ABC to CAB instead, right? Would it be possible to have your partner poke a hole in him while you compress? Or would that cause complications since you're compressing?
>>693234442
I like this guy's way of thinking.
>>693228124
Do you like working on dogs and cats?
>>693236237
Central, bit away from state college
>>693228124
I think it was your thread earlier that 404d but from that call it sounded like the guy was beyond repair. Do you really have to take him to the ER? Why don't they just call the ME?
>>693235818
One, he's a medic.
Two, muh engrish don't tell peeps how good I be a stitchin bitches, ya herd?
>>693236029
Nice apostrophe, retard.
>>693232288
Why would you appreciate anyone who saves the life of a suicidal? You are a selfish jerk!
>>693236263
Correct. Confirmed arrest you go to CAB. So compressions first. Then airway. This guy had a compromised airway in the sense that his entire trachea was crushed. You have to go with what you get. We put in an OPA. Intubation and other advanced airways are contraindicated due to neck fractures. Not much we could do
>>693236662
Nowhere near me
>>693236668
Nope. Called it at scene.

>baiting this hard

>>693236981
That makes sense.
How often do you find patients actively trying to refuse care? From what i've heard, most people hate getting sent to the hospital if they dont feel its life threatening, they dont want to pay for care they've refused.
Also, are PCRs as annoying as they sound?
>>693234442
/thread
>>693235548
Anyone into cock tributes is a closet faggot
>>693237559
Depends. Car accident? People love to go for insurance claims of suffering. Normal shit? People go because who the fuck knows. There really isn't any reason why people go.
PCR'S suck but they aren't bad. I have a pre-written one on our station computer I use. Makes things easier.
If you're in ems I'll email you it if you want. Everything you need to keep your ass out of jail.

In an earlier reply you said that Drug OD's are seasonal. Would you expand on that a bit..specifically what times of year and most common OD's in your area?

>racing against the cock
Yesterday I called an ambulance because I thought I was having a heart attack. Turns out it was my first ever PTSD related anxiety attack cause by all the fireworks. Super weird but whatever.
They didnt take me to hospital and just kind of left. Am I going to get charged for them coming out and just telling me to calm down and running an EKG?
>>693238961
Oh, then by all means please send me whatever advice you have for me with that generated email. Though I think the general gist of it is to write down everything you hear and say, and do your job as correctly as possible. Much appreciated
>>693239094
Yes
>>693239094
not OP but yeah they will bill your ins if they took the info. If they bill you call your ins. if you don't have ins you're fucked.
>>693239094
Are you a pussy or a combat vet/combat victim (not pog vet, a combat vet)?
>>693228124
What can I do when someone has a heart attack so I don't feel completely useless waiting for the paramedic
>>693239029
Enough to fuck you up. One lock you can easily pop and the second just take the whole fucking box. Regulated drugs needs 2 locks. First is generally a meh lock box. Second is a box you can take with you.
>>693239094
Depends on the service. We charge for refusals. Some places don't. Of anything. Insurance should cover it or it'll be at most 100 bucks.
>>693230305
That's sucks but i can't do anything about it so might as well not put thought into it so i won't get mad over this shit
>>693228124
How much did you have to study to become an emt?
I have epilepsy with an extremely small possibility of seizures even on meds. What should I tell people to do if I seize out and EMS is not an option?

>>693239520
EMT? Didn't study at all. Medic is different.

Sorry. I meant medic? What's your official job title?
And can you see yourself doing that till old age? Would you even be able to, or is it more a young persons job?
>>693239808
kek when you have a seizure you aren't conscious silly
>>693240007
Assuming you can talk during your seizure, explain to them you are having one, to call 911, and to help you lay down on your left side, as OP said. Or recovery position, afaik.
>>693240011
[email protected] this is just the same one as before, i renewed the time limit on it
If you're called for a drug OD do you take any drugs they have on them still because it's obviously good shit and they're too irresponsible to deserve it?

Hey dipshit, fellow Paramedic. How would you feel if somebody posted your family after they did something stupid?

Vague. Generally. No. If it's broken it'll just get worse. Stop jerking off faggot.

>>693243012
Thanks.
>>693242835
death rates are pretty low nowadays, and they are unlikely to put you in the line of fire if you have any skill either
do you mind working those hours? would you rather work 3x 12hr?

That's crazy. Stay safe man, and keep doing what you're doing. We all appreciate it
>>693244245
there is nothing wrong with speeding on the highway
alright OP i think your thread is dying. thanks for the gore/stories/advice. Keep on keeping on.
>>693244083
On my normal job yeah. I work 3 jobs. Sorry for the miscommunication. From all 3 I work 6 days a week.

Congrats.
My dad's a firefighter he used to drive ambulance and one time he had some drugged up bitch get out of the ambulance and start running down the road topless, any shit like that happen to you?

Depends on type of shock. Generally fluid bolus.
>>693245173
Agreed. I got hammered on the 4th and had a great time. Just busting your balls since you said "I don't do stupid shit" then said "I did stupid shit". =p We're good /b/rother. <3

I'll laugh when your used beamer gets t-boned. 53k miles on my baby.
Random situation, pull up to scene, no people nearby, unsconscious man with a likely MOI of falling, no breathing but has pulse. Would you do spinal stabilization or go straight to breathing?
>>693245733

I got this sick emoji and gif keyboard for my iPhone too. Want to grindr l8r fam?
>>693245733
Sure. School is generally 2 times a week at 8 hours a class. Then you have clinicals 2-3 times a week and most people work full time so it's 2-3 times a week for a job. It's he'll because you do 7 days a week with no breaks.
>>693245864
Any situation ABC's first. Fix breathing. Then immobilize then transport.
>>693240529
there actually isn't a population issue, the problem is mostly poor infrastructure and places with huge wealth disparity like brazil and india
Hopefully paramedicfag is still lurking.
I was in jail a few years ago, I was overdosing while in jail (took pills before arrest) they called an ambulance, and stuck a pick line in. Right before they pushed narcan, I told them I refuse treatment on religious grounds. I told them I was a jahovahs witness (I now realize the correct answer is Christian scientist.) In that position, if I told them Christian scientist, could they still shoot me with narcan?
>>693234442

Paramedics can't do PICC lines so your story seems like horseshit. OD? I'd just wait until you were unconscious then do whatever. Cant refuse then.
Are all the EMTs, Ambos, Nurses furiously fucking eachother? Combination of dealing with so much death and not always having friends who can relate to the effects makes for some randy ass med girls.

OP. For the most part.
>>693246567
I'm not 100% sure it was a paramedic, but it was in an ambulance. True story, actually. They said that, despite speaking, I was under the influence (they had some criteria, such as shallow breathing, slurred speech, etc.) and therefor, I qualified for them to make decisions for me or something? It was a long time ago. I don't remember a ton about it.

How long did it take you to become desensitized to all the gory shit you see?
>>693228124
Craziest fight with patient (on rig or off)
Worst injury seen
Experiences helping PD/SO/ or Fire restrain someone
>>693247186
Beautiful thing. I can swing under the influence as you taking too much sugar pills. If I suspect you are "under the influence" all of your medical decisions now become mine. Case in point. Drunk people. I get final say if you've had even 1 beer, under PA law.
>>693247443
Few months.
OP, complicated question. If there's a unconscious kid who's going to bleed to death, and his guardian says you can't help him, are you able to help him under implied consent since he's unconscious or are you not since his guardian says you can't? Another situation, conscious man, about to die, but says you can't save him. Is there any way that you would be able to even if he denied consent?
>>693247443
He's answered that already, about 2 months
>>693247701
So if a Christian scientist has 1 beer, and declines medical treatment under religious belief, you can veto their religion and make medical decisions for them? I agree with it, however it sounds kind of shitty for actual Christian scientists.
>>693228124
>not exactly pertaining to in-ambulance treatments, but...
If someone attempted to castrate them self, and it half worked, but their balls could be saved... but the patient explicitly said they don't want them saved, they want them removed... would the doctors go ahead and remove their balls, or would they like force the patient to let them save their balls, because they're "not in the right state of mind" or some shit like that?
>>693228124
how horrible is your training?
where are you an emt?
>>693247682
Most fights end in patients getting tazed by PD or a mag light to the face. I will always win and my documentation will always say I never hit you. You lose 100%of the time.
>>693247745
Parents get arrested. I make medical decisions for kid. Tough shit. I'm expected to be a medical proxy. What I says goes. Without any type of DNR or living will in hand. I can put you under medical arrest.
>>693247965
Technically, yes. I have A TON of legal ground to make decisions.
>>693248039
So specific. Fuck that shit. I'd take them to the hospital and make the doctors deal with it.
Have you ever blanked like completely forgot what to do in a situation?
>>693228318
kek
>>693248561
No. It's like riding a bike. You run autopilot. If you don't know. ABC's will make it to the hospital.
Any times stick out dealing with drug addicts/opiate overdoses? Suboxone overdoses (narcan isn't effective)?
Drugs you couldn't effectively identify and treat?
What's the most difficult type of drug overdose to deal with?
>>693249113
Not sure what you're asking in the first part. Narcan pretty much works every your.
Worst drugs to deal with are non-opiate based since I don't have anything to counteract it.
Methods overdose? Good luck. Hope your heart doesn't explode.
>>693228124
Take the little piece of brain and eat it.
>>693249406
Narcan (naltrexone) has a lower binding affinity than suboxone, and is actually completely ineffective. Typically they will intubate and/or administer adrenaline. Very tricky to deal with.
Funny to hear that meth is the most difficult drug. 2mg Ativan?
>>693248410
>>693248039
>not exactly pertaining to in-ambulance treatments, but...
>asking if you know the laws/practices for doctors at the ER for a situation like that.
>>693228124
What's a paramedic's music taste like?
>>693249113
>>693249406
Fuck my autocorrect. Every time*
Meth*
All drugs react similarly to your body. All give signs and symptoms. If narcan doesn't fix it then it's a quick transport to hospital.
OP again.
>>693249630
We use Naloxone. Not not naltrexone. Suboxone is tricky shit. Actually renders narcan useless. Intubation and transport is essentially the treatment. Ativan doesn't fix meth. Just makes me not have to deal with your shit. I'll just use atomidate for that.
