The guy I was just referring to said “IM GONNA FIGHT IT OFF, THE MEDICINE ISNT GONNA HURT ME” and then immediately went into that different place

He came back to Earth and the medic said “I thought you were gonna fight it off?”

I’ve heard about some fucked up shit.

Lol

Yeah i usually have people count back from 10, he said 10 and then stopped breathing

I don’t actually do EMS, I just know quite a bit. Combat medicine is more my stuff. I do know what MVAs and everything are though. Volunteer firefighter.

I remember being put under once and they did that.

Yeah. I enjoy combat medicine. Id take that over some idiot with a BGl of 800 because those donuts are just so tasty

I feel dizzy, yeah because you weigh 400lbs and are going blind

Sorry, burned out lol

On god

EMS can see fucked shit tho

Medic I know

Responded to a real bad one

Guy was an alcoholic, had esophageal “varrasies?” I don’t know how to spell it anymore damnit.

Essentially, he wasn’t doing so hot one night but his friend just thought he was drunk. Woke up the next morning, called, no answer. Sent police on a wellness check.

Medic got called in

He knew it was bad the second he saw the firefighters face.

A “holy fuck what do we do” kinda face

He walks in and follows a gargling sound to the guy in the bedroom

So turns out

Guy had a stroke, the esophageal shit busted, got into his stomach, and made him throw up, and he was drowning in his own blood and vomit

* After having a stroke

Medic just cleared what he could

esophageal varices... fucking sends shivers down my spine lol

Was gonna intubate but didn’t wanna make the esophageal varices worse.

Varicose veins in your esophagus basically, get fat and full of blood then they explode. Ive had pts with them, my go to is RSI and TXA and haul ass

So he bagged that bitch up till oximetry was above 90 and just went enroute to hospital.

Keep systolic at or around 90 and you’re gtg

Yeah I know what it is

Fucking oof

You a paramedic?

Yes Sir

Unfortunately lol

I don’t have any certs at all

I just know stuff

🤷🏻‍♂️ive seen folks with all the certs in the world be absolute shit providers. Mindset is everythinng

True

Was with that paramedic and he was quizzing an EMT because he was about to get on with Acadian

I knew everything that EMT did and knew it faster

Quick convo with you and a look through the shit you’ve been posting, you’re already more competent than most medic students I’ve precepted lol
