How bad does it hurt? by relledgein nursing

[–]Veteran4Peace 3 points4 points ago

I've been a paramedic for eight years, and I've got a year left in nursing school.

Get used to this crap, it's neverending.

She wasn't "bashing religion" you ignorant turd-knuckle. She was telling the extremely painful story of her abusive childhood to a bunch of strangers on the internet where she would surely be met with stupid ass comments like yours.

tl;dr, go fuck yourself with a chainsaw

Best method to tell if someone is faking unconscious/ seizure? by CaptainCuriosityin ems

[–]Veteran4Peace 0 points1 point ago

Well, that's a good point and I should probably expand on what I said. I'm not saying we shouldn't try to detect faking patients, just that it doesn't need to be a priority.

I'm probably a bit biased here due to the dozens and dozens of times that I've had coworkers get ridiculously overzealous with all these checks. There are a lot of folks out there who seem to enjoy taking the sternal rubs, fingernail-squeezes, eye-poking, and arm-pinching way too far.

I say, just do an arm-drop or a sternal rub and then get on with the call. The result of the arm-drop/sternal rub becomes part of my report to the receiving nurse and that's that.

Oh, okay. Well, I definitely think it's a great suggestion.

[–]Veteran4Peace 1 point2 points ago

We're not the "faking it" or "drug seeker" police. Just treat every patient as they present. A fake seizure patient isn't going to like that very much and so what if some pathetic junkie gets a few mg of morphine or whatever from you?

If each and every microbe, bacteria, or any other living organism was instantly removed from your body, what would happen? by FuqDupin askscience

If each and every microbe, bacteria, or any other living organism was instantly removed from your body...

It's pretty obvious what he means here.

Why, in movies, do nurses flick needles? by singhedin askscience

[–]Veteran4Peace 0 points1 point ago

I've been a paramedic for eight years, and I'm on my third year of nursing school....and I did not know that. Obviously, I knew that air embolisms could be bad, but I never understood the actual mechanism of injury.

Thank you for explaining this.

Damn, this looks awesome! Does DIII support scripting or is this going to be some sort of overlay?

EDIT: People who downvote legitimate questions just because they're misinformed have tiny dicks.

I'd love a "Save skill build" button and a "Restore saved skill build" by revanxpin Diablo

I bound my middle mouse button to force move. It's working great for me.

What "amazing fact" or colloquialism do you know is actually wrong, and you're sick of correcting people about it? by TestZeroin AskReddit

[–]Veteran4Peace 0 points1 point ago

  • Pick any given point on the surface of an octopus
  • Draw a line from that point through the exact center of the octopus
  • Continue this line until it exits the octopus

The octipode is the point where that line exits out the other side of said octopus.

Casino workers of reddit, what are some things that we patrons may not know about casinos? by legion26in AskReddit

Yeah, my girlfriend has got that one all figured out.

Damn, that's much better than kittens and karma.

That would be absurdly expensive and incredibly dangerous due to the fire hazard.

Also, as a paramedic, I can tell you that raising your serum O2 concentration from 99% to 100% has no discernible effect. The only people who actually feel anything from supplemental oxygen are the ones who are low on it.

That's actually better than "has small tits but she's brave and honest." I might have to change it....

Bill Maher: Liberty University Is Not A Real School by btrflyin politics

[–]Veteran4Peace 5 points6 points ago

No.

But, other than a severe lack of Kevin Bacon, Footloose might as well have been a documentary of my home town. That movie really, REALLY hit the nail on the Southern Baptist-small-town head.
