  2. OUCH AND DOUBLE OUCH! ----- A couple hobbled into a Washington State emergency room covered in bloody restaurant towels. The man had his hands around his abdomen and the woman had hers around her head. They eventually explained to doctors that they had gone out that evening for a romantic dinner. Overcome with passion, the woman crept under the

    table to administer oral sex to the man (who says romance is dead?) While in the act, she had an epileptic fit, which caused her to clamp down on the man's penis and wrench it from side to side. In agony and desperation, the man grabbed a fork and stabbed her in the head until she let go (or at least that's the story he's going with).

    I think that happened in my area

  3. Lets face being it the private sector we can not Rely on the goverment to provide any sort of benniffit for our death. It would be nice but thats asking alot. My company pays 50k for A+D And gives us the option to buy a supplement up to 1 mil. The best thing any one can do for there families is to have some for something ever happens.

  4. One of the hospitals in our area does that for medic units. It is on a plasma screen between the first and second door to the ER so you can see it wheeling in. It contains your unit number, patient CC. and room assingment. It is kind of nice to have

  5. :shock: Wow that last post was long. My thoughts on badges, If your service/ department doesn't issue them you don't need one. If your service/department issues them they should be cloth sowed on to your uniform to give your patients less to grab onto. Metal badges can give that psych patient a very handy weapon.

  6. The only time that I use trendelenburg is when an IV is not easily obtained. This is because it is estimated to give the patient an extra two liters of fluid in the upper body. This makes IV access easier and as was said earlier pop up real nice if you need to go that route. but others make very good points as well. Lung function an ICP can be effected by doing this. It all comes down to weighing the risk and benefits at the time for your specific patient
