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

You learn a bit talking with a Green Beret Combat Medic lol

@PandaMedic (友好的熊猫) yes Zoomer knows his shit

Appears so. Even the boog needs medics

Certs or not

Boog needs medics more than it does a lot of things

Like seriously

Right

You know what would be badass?

Terminator

Having logistics setup to the point that EVAC is possible

And we have *surgeons*

My “group of friends” we shall call it has one

But instead we’re probably just gonna have to take a bottle of isopropyl, tweezers, and sutures and do the best we damn can

Nothing as cool as a blackhawk for evac though

I’m gonna get extremely basic surgical shit

Scalper and blades for it

Suturing forceps and all of that.

Scalpel*

Tweezers, sutures

Get some good stainless shit. Get sutures and just practice on chicken with skin attached

Yeah I’m gonna see what I can do.

I have a feeling I’m gonna have to wing it and the bois will help me “acquire” an ambulance.

Preferably dead. Ill admit my suturing skills arent beautiful, but i can close a wound decently enough. Hard thing to get good at though unless you do it often
