It sucks, though a lot of the time when people die it is generally a good thing. 9 times out of 10 people who are dying in the hospital need to die but, because their families want them to live so much they keep them alive through any means necessary.

I have seen people kept alive by ventilators and iv pumps for months even though their brains have been dead for the entire time. I have seen family put confused patients through horrific ordeals(sp?) just to get them to live a little longer. I have seen wards of the state live for god damn forever because the state is not allowed to make them a DNR even though the patient says they want to die...

When I went into nursing I was all for working towards saving people. Now... after years in critical care, I preach quality over quantity of life.

That applies to the dying and the living...

Actually. Most older people don't give one tenth of one shit what people see. It is a rarity when an older person is modest. I think they (like all of us) realize that we all have the same parts (more or less). and that when we are sick, it doesn't matter who sees what.

It's not surprising that alot of older people are nudists later on in life

Well, I didn't get to because I was focused on nursing school and working at the same time. However, I found out later that two of my class mates banged their way through the first semester. They cheated off their gfs work through the courses.

As far as banging nurses after graduating. No. I know of only 2 couples between three hospitals that I worked at that got together (even as one night stands or flings/etc). Most nurses that are trying to sleep with their coworkers focus on doctors. I know of one nurse that did so until she married one.

All the time. There are sooooooooooooooooooooo many problems that can't be treated and can just be managed. Even then there are times when we can't do a damn thing.

Biggest thing is smoking. People who have smoked for 15-30 years even after quitting still are screwed because their lungs are damaged. We can give them all the oxygen we can and they still will suffocate eventually.

One of the worst deaths IMO.

survival rate is good. The recovery sucks balls. Think of all your gastric fluids (acid, food, stool) leaking into your abdomen. It hurts like hell. After that... if you're REALLLLLLLY lucky. You will not develop any complications...

However, I have seen people with severe complications including what are called FISTULAS.

Your bowel is very good at regrowing. However, it can grow into the wrong places including trying to grow outside your abdomen causing "fistulas" Basically your bowel is trying to grow outside your body.

People with this problem spend more time in the hospital than any other kind of patient.

easy.

However, My suggestion from a LEARNING stand point is to start in a stepdown/progressive care unit and then transition to an ICU. Starting in an stepdown/progressive care unit gives your the TIME MANAGEMENT chops that you will need down the road. I have known many nurses that have wanted to be nurse anesthetists that have failed because they went straight to ICU first. Learn Time Management and then go to ICU.

One thing I have learned is that families need to accept death and dying a lot more readily than they do... I think it's a cultural thing. They feel that if they give up on their family memeber or let them die that they are failing them. They don't realize that the compassionate thing to do is to let them die because everyone dies at some point and sometimes quality of life is better over quantity

OP here.

PSA: Make a living will and get a DNR order if you do not want to be resuscitated. So many people say they want to be DNRs but do not sign documents making them such before they are unable to. Then their families keep them alive forever.

Also decide if you want to donate your organs if you die. People need them dammit.

>>730082493
Depends on if you are going for a straight decompression or if you are planning on placing a chest tube. Circumstances also dictate what goes on.

Realistically, the only time you'll see a chest decompression in the field is if someone is a) OBVIOUSLY having air in their chest. b) have a really aggressive and experiences paramedic team and c) the patient will die if they don't do it or its a DAMN long way to the hospital.

Most times. They will transport to the hospital and place a rather large chest tube in to decompress the chest.

Straight decomp, in a pre-hospital setting. Mostly interested because I go out shooting and hunting, sometimes far from care, and I have a jump bag in my trunk.

I used to do CC EMS as an EMT with a rad RN who let me get hands on for a couple of years, so I have a lot of the skills pretty well down, but I don't know if it's ever contraindicated to just go for just go for the biggest fuck off cath you have if there's pneumothorax.

Also, another thought:
Any reason to prefer NS over LR or vice versa for hypovolemia? Or any better alternatives for a heavy bleeder in an "Oh shit we're 2 hours away from a hospital" situation?
>>
>>730083202

look at top 5 municipal fire departments and what they pay. a few years in, average minimum $60,000 per year for 9-10 shifts per month and can rise to over $100,000 per year if you're a senior officer with incentive paramedic pay that bumps that another $7,500. EMS (Every Minute Sucks) varies so much from transfer posers earning minimum wage to struggling shit systems in mid-sized cities working 56 hours per week to scratch out $40,000 per year. One really has to plan out their life better if they want to make a career in EMS.

>>730083746
Saddest thing I've ever seen was a pediatric case in a city outside of Boston that was notorious for rampant drug use.

A 16 month old girl was being watched after by her step-father, who nodded off on opiates and she managed to strangle herself on a string hanging from a curtain.

The step father comes to, does not call 911 and drives the little girl to the ER- We run an unsuccessful code - she was DOA but anything's possible. The stepfather did not really care, and actually had the audacity to ask for opiates to "calm down"

The saddest part was when the mother arrived and was hysterical.

Then the grandmother 10 minutes later, heartbroken over the lifeless body, sobbing and holding the mother of the child.

Then, the father, who compounded the sadness by letting out the must guttural scream of grief i've ever heard

Really sucked having to break the news 3x
>>
>>730083697
If you are doing a straight decompression then the biggest one you have will work... However, you have make sure you are poking into the area where the air is. If you poke the wrong part, you will produce another hole that will cause the lung to fail even faster. This is why, in the field. It is a last resort. Size of that cath should be 16+ if you are doing that. You can make a makeshift valve as well to prevent refractive decompression (see youtube).

As far as NS over LR. LR has a few more elctrolytes than NS but as far as IV fluids (IVF) to use in an emergent situation it doesn't make that much of a difference. LR is preferred if you are loading someone with fluid but if you are giving someone meds post stabilization NS is preferred because it reacts with less stuff.

I know this from experience. I one pushed a med into LR and it turned into a solid in the line.

Worst thing I saw was not someone dying but someone living. I took in a patient who didn't want a vent, who didn't want to suffer, who had lots of health problems. But she didn't tell her family.

The patient goes down hill and cannot make decisions for her self.

The family decides that they should do everything for her.

One trach and abdominal surgery later she is moaning Constantly no matter what pain meds we give her. She is mumbling gibberish most of the time but the one thing she says that we can understand is "kill me"... over and over again. This lasts for 3 months. The patient is fighting infections and her own chronic medical problems and trying to recover from the surgery and all the while she is saying "kill me."

The family says we need to do everything for her even though she wants to die.

I wasn't the when her heart finally stopped. I just know I cried many times before that and was grateful when she finally died because she finally had her wish.

I imagine hypothetically if it ever came to it, whichever care I got to first would probably want to run their own line instead of trusting what some crazy bloody guy who just dragged his buddy in from deep innawoods did. Better to use LR, then? Or just KISS with NS? Any issues with LR already in the body for meds down the road, or is it just a concern while it's in the line?

Identifying where to decomp seems simple enough - Go for the side with diminished breathing sounds that the trachea id deviating away from, and steer clear of the heart and all those juicy arteries - second intercostal space at the mid-clavicle.

I realize that running lines in the field will be a terrible idea until ALL alternatives are exhausted, but I figure what the hell, if I'm going to have a cath for decomp, then why not add a liter of fluid to my bag too? Hope to never encounter an injury that severe while in the middle of nowhere, and I hope that even if I do, TQ and extremity elevation will suffice.
But, I'm of the "Better to have and not need than need and not have" mindset.

12% report abnormal ejaculation/orgasm. this could go either way an lean towards massive volume loss and prolonged orgasms that may or may not result in hair loss, double vision, postural hypotension, nausea, somnolescence, or generalized fatigue.

i say, go for it!

As long as you don't mind your dick (if equipped) not working.

> D2 antagonist

Try fucking with your NMDA receptors. Proven relief for *eight thousand years*.

or you can sit around thinking of the past for hours on end. it's an adjunct to CBT anyway. dick function is likely subpar in presence of MDD.

in a shtf scenarios while waiting for the abulance f a tourniquet fails, could you just stuff a wound with sterile gozz and duct tape it shut?
>>
>>730087787

T3. Better be a known clinic pt in the ED for pain.
>>
>>730088061
No, the duct tape would not provide enough pressure to slow the bleeding. Can one of the paramedics in here offer their insight?
>>
>>730088061

of course.

also, newspaper works. preferrably the sports section.

You ever done hospice type shit? I'm wondering which is worse for your mental health.

I used to deliver iv drugs, it was a pretty fun stupid job, but sometimes I had to go deliver and then pick up stuff from families of hospice people. Shit was depressing.

my roomate used to be emt, drove amr vehical, spent most of his time transporting patients from and to hosptials. how do u deal with pts who bitch and demand for more roxi or sertraline?
>>
>>730088061
Tourniquets, if applied properly, will either stop the bleeding or reduce it severely. You can't bleed from your wound if the whole limb has no blood flow. The only way your tourniquet will fail is if you bought a cheap chinese counterfeit and it snaps when you crank it down.

If the tourniquet alone isn't enough to completely stop the bleeding, direct pressure on the wound. I guess duct tape "could" work in a pinch for that if you wrap it tightly around the wound, but honestly, just get yourself an israeli bandage and call it a day.

Hello Nurse!

I have a friend who shares your profession. She recently told me this story, tell me if you have anything that sounds worse than this, I'll keep it brief.

-Guy tries to kill himself via train
-Someone tries to pull him away from the tracks last second
-Guy gets severed at the torso, guts hanging out, also loses most of right arm.
-Docs manage to keep him alive for about 12 hours before he dies in a kind of agony I don't even want to imagine.
-His family was notified immediately upon his admission, apparently his mom said over the phone "well he fucking ran away from home so he deserves the pain he's in for the rest of his miserable life".
-no family comes to see him before he dies.

Native Canadian boy, 20ish years old.

Tragic ass shit...

yes you are don't try to hide it.
>>
>>730088715
lol why would anyone demand sertraline?

as for opiates, I work pediatric ER so I don't get many drug seekers. The ones that I suspect are being less than 100% honest usually want benzos, actually

im just some dude no medical anything so shit guess that makes sense. was just wondering if there was any kind of cool shit out now like a super adhesive bandage used temperaryly to help stop blood loss or something like that
but I guess pressure and a proper tourniquet is the best way
>>730088717
gotchya like i was saying im just a regular guy but along the way have picked up some super small modicom of knowledge of terminology regarding medicine and stuff like that so I just wanted to know if there was a diy or "best" product or application to do other then the cut off flow and apply pressure thing bc I could imagine myself fucking up something like that if it ever came to it

>just get yourself an israeli bandage and call it a day.
going to research it thanks for sharing

You know what's weird? When I was 9, this was the VERY first song I recorded from the stereo's radio onto a casette tape. (Dating myself here, this was 1993.) This, and Black by Pearl Jam are the first two songs I remember listening to on my own, and enjoying, and recording for future listening pleasure.

Soul Asylum is one of the hidden germs of the mid-90s grunge movement not tainted by time or heroin, as far as I am aware. Solid stuff. Makes me really miss that time.

medical professionals of the ch0n, seems like lots of bad shit is made worse by retarded behavior and ignorance.
what are some thing you wish people knew about int terms of preventative or emergency situations?
>>
>>730089483

I'm Canadian, but yeah it REALLY makes me miss the pre-9/11 shit timeline we've found ourselves in. I grew up in quiet Labrador in a time where kids were totally safe wandering around the neighbourhood weekdays after school. A time when you'd wake up Satuday morning, watch a few cartoons and eat Fruit Loops, then you're fucking GONE for the entire day. Exploring with friends. This was my life from ages 6-9. I miss it terribly.

>>730089658
ER Doc say:

>Learn CPR and how to use an AED
>In event of emergency call 911 fast
>Learn signs and symptoms of stroke

Top 3 in my book!

>>730089658

don't stop on the freeway
drive now, text/talk later
putting smoke in your lung kills you
putting fat in your gut kills you
condoms
life is cheap, make yours worth something while you can

I'll add to have narcan on hand know how to use it if you're around people using opiates. SAD!

Jesus tapdancing christ.
Been a stoner for 7 years, STILL haven't watched those movies. Keep putting it off.

Why put off today what you can put off tomorrow?

You gotta see these flicks. Degree of innocence and no drug fetish/street thug tone anywhere in the films.
