One lesson I wish I had learned as A young EMT was how to wind down after bad calls. Learn the what happens at work stays at work, and what happens at home stays at home. Never let either one take over or you will burn out really fast.

OMG to funny! Why do I have a picture of my boyfriend thinking these were his undies throwing them on and dancing around the house with skid marks showing......

It made me look at myself really hard the last time I watched it. I realized 13 years of EMS I was turning into the main character and burning out.

Wow did I pick a bad time to apply for Acadian EMS! Looks like I better buy some water wings and a life jacket!!!

Now I'm Feeling Zombified by Alien Sex Fiend. I know I am crazy! :headbang:

I was recently diagnosed with a Protein S deficiency, and the doctors are considering putting me on warfarin therapy (I did have a PE 10 years ago, so I am at risk of getting more clots). I am concerned that I may have to quit EMS due to the dangers we face in the field and the risk of getting injured once I start the blood thinners. I am wondering if anyone else has been on blood thinners and still worked?

I got 950 maybe I should become a flight medic.

You said she is 16 and is 40 KG. Does the pt. have an eating disorder? I'm wondering if this is secondary problems due to bulimia/anorexia.

Congrats good luck on the new job!

On my second shift as an EMR I arrived at a major MVA, after doing my primary survey I started doing my OPQRST and asked the PT. did the pain come on gradually or suddenly. Well we all know the answer to that question! :sign2:
