Not really it’s only if we can’t get a IV going

We try like twice and go to IO after

Well I guess it's better than dying

Don’t worry like if your an actual casualty and your conscious we will be giving some drugs like a@minute after that

Oh so not a lot of pain, just a quick minute or so

Yeah most of the time

We use ketamine 90% of the time

It’s not a pain med but works similar

It’s a dissociative drug

It's a horse tranquilizer so it's gotta do the trick

We were cleaning and packing a pilodonidal cyst and our PA was like “anyone wanna see how fast ketamine works”

First time I seen how fast ketamine works lol

There's a reason it goes for so much on the street

Whatever you do I wouldn’t recommend looking up pilodonidal cyst

I may have to now

You like ass so go ahead

I'm kinda desensitized to Gore at this point

I got some nice gory videos

Lmao I'm sure you do being in the medical field

I’m 100% desensitized to trauma and gore now lol

I remember one time we were in the middle of of the woods and totally **didn’t** shoot some goats and dope them up on ketamine to practice medical skills

I'm like 85%, every now and then I'll see something that gets to me a bit, then I just tamp it down and get the fuck over it

It’s not even bad. Some people just can’t handle seeing someone’s meat suit fucked up

I'm decent under stress, but idk how I'd be with someone screaming every time I try to do something, that's why I'm hesitant to get my EMT cert

@Itcilisdonyoy guys premedicate your IOs with lido before infusing?

Not in a field setting.

👍🏻

In a forward hospital or aid station yeah they’d have that capability

Not us line medics though

Dirty medicine is still good medicine!

Pain is the patients problem. Until it’s not .

Lol... So true! Ain't now one ever died from pain... Plus it's a good airway gauge!

If their screaming their breathing

That’s a good assessment of a patient airway

Patent

Yes it is...

I still NPA people just cause fuck em

Bonus tho.. if you snow them enough, you get a tube!

Just because of how many NPA’s I received in my lifetime.

No one should have to receive as many NPA’s as me

They do suck!
