NYC-EMS Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 [align=center:538a8d5808]What would you do if you were called to this Scene? Write your response as if you were writing your narrative on a patient care report. I would love to see all the EMS veteran responses. I'm sure new EMT's would like to learn about how you would approach a situation like this. This weekend we had 3 people intoxicated like this gentleman in the video. Two are now on life support and the third expired in the E.R . [/align:538a8d5808] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eydawn Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Without watching the entire video (perhaps a few clips if there's anything more interesting further along would be better... I don't have time to watch these guys screw around, to be honest!), my first requirement is police on scene to get the guy's arsehole drunk friends out of the way. Second, with the fixed pupils that I noticed in the vid, we're transporting this guy emergent. Protect the airway. Prepare to be puked upon. Figure out what they ate, what they drank, how much, when, and if any other drugs are involved. Figure out how long he's been unresponsive and snoring. Figure out if he's puked at all, and if he's had any other fluids besides alcohol recently. Get whatever kind of medical history I can from his drunk friends. Start moving. Get an IV enroute, be ready for seizures, and hope to god I've got a medic who can tube this guy. It's going to be a long night for him. Without more info on what actually is going on, I'm not writing a PCR narrative. I can describe what I'm seeing, but not any other information... so if you really want, let me know and I'll describe my initial impression of the guy as I see it on the video.

Dustdevil Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I wanna see the PCRs on his "friends" when he sees the video, and comes back to whip the bejeezus out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaramedic Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 You know this video gives me hope. Hope that this self involved dumb ass generation will wipe themselves off the earth and therefore severe the bloodline of dumb asses that was started in the late 40's. We can only hope.

Eydawn Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I hate the binge drink, "let's phuck with our passed out frat brother" mentality. Unfortunately, I've seen a LOT of it. We're lucky (or genetically unlucky as the case may be) that more of these arseholes don't croak themselves or their friends doing this stuff. Notice that when it's a pretty young lady who dies, it's a tragedy? I know of several unsung frat boy deaths... because it's *expected*..... but no less tragic or preventable in my opinion. I will never join a fraternity nor sorority. They're usually either caught up in politics, or *really* into the puke'n'whirl gig on weekends.

Wendy CO EMT-B Actually that's where you're wrong; it's just that nobody really gives a crap when those jackasses kill themselves through various acts of stupidity.
