That's fucked up man. Are you a Paramedic? I'm studying at my local community college for my EMT cert. Is that the kind of stuff I can look forward to after attaining Paramedic cert?

I'm a firefighter/EMT-IV. I'm a basic EMT that can obtain IV/IO access and place supraglottic airways. Yes, this is what you can expect, and worse. That call was so low on the scale of the spectrum of fucked up shit I have seen.

>>734698621
That's crazy, man. I want to be part of an ALS unit after getting emt cert. What's one of the most fucked up stories you have? Also, if you don't mind me asking, how much do you make/year?

>>734698621

>Fire grown rapidly afterwards

Had a heart attack last year. Soon after being out of the hospital (double cabg), still dealing with chf. Wake up middle of night, can't breathe. sit up, seriously short of breath. Wasn't given nitro yet, didn't have oxygen yet. Called ambulance.

Ambulance came out. In back of ambulance. Guys are annoyed I can't make out sentences to explain. Manage to get out "acute pulmonary edema". Looks at me like I'm an idiot spouting medical terms to them. He puts me on 3 liters of oxygen. Tells me I need to get rid of our cat since that's probably causing my asthma problem. Tells me they'll take me in, even though I'll probably get sent right home for bothering them with an animal related asthma problem.

I make around $3k pre-tax a month but that's because I volunteer for the fire side of things. Only a paid EMT. Career firefighter/ paramedics here make $100K a year.

>>734699388
If that's true that's cringe worthy. They should have
>Done an EKG
>Put you on a Nebulizer of Albuterol and Atrovent
>IV Access
>See if o2 Sats improve, if not go to next step
>CPAP mask goes on, to help with pulmonary edema

>>734698473
i studied with tons of premed kids who would do hospital work and tell me their stories, pretty fucked up shit. but damn, that's raw. chunks of brain i could deal with but chunks of face...
do you ever find out about the conditions of people you picked up? like did that guy make it?

>>734699414
So you only volunteer? As a paid emt what do you do mostly then when not volunterring? Also, 100K, a year. Damn, that's crazy. Where do you live where firefighters/paramedics can make that much

>>734699656

Yeah, i live in a rural area. The local hospital knew what to do at least, but our ambulance guys were awful. I pointed out my fresh chest scar too, and no EKG.

I don't work for either but where I live there's about a 1 mile straight away and then a 90° turn so people ignore the 25 mph speed limit and go 100+ instead and get into horrible accidents. When I was 12 or 13 I saw a car catch on fire from one of the accidents and there was this kid about my age trapped in the burning car literally on fire, he twitched for a while but eventually died. Pretty fucked up, another time this kid did the same thing but his car didn't catch on fire but I walked outside and looked at the car and his face was spewing blood and I called 911. I saw a dude get stabbed and knocked out at a trashy house party when I was about 15 but have no idea what happened after. Those are the ones that stand out in my mind right now but I've seen my fair share of fucked up shit.

>>734699225
Most fucked up story? Hard to say.
>Called to help remove body with coroner
>Person has been dead for 4-5 days in the summer in their home
>Body is on the couch, bloated, a purple, black, green and covered with blisters of fluid
>Try not to grab the flesh if i dont have to
>Have to grab the arm to put a towel around the shoulders to move it without pulling off flesh by pulling on the arms
>Fluids leaking out of every hole
>A oxygen mask if fuzed to their face, clearly died of COPD exacerbation while using home neb
>The smell makes me have to stop and step out a few times
>Just moving the arm popped a few blisters and they leak blood and other fluid all over the couch
>I decide to grab the guys sweat pants when we move him, placing the bodybag under his feet
>I grab is legs by the pant leg and they grab up top
>Immediately pops multiple blisters and tears skin on his leg
>Blood and fluid pours into the body bag from both legs like a faucet
>Slide him down, go outside and get fresh air immediately

As far as disgusting, thats up there. Got another story like it too. Or do you mean the most emotionally fucked up?

>>734697598
He was probably really scared and was just worried about doing what he is now supposed to do. That's pretty much exactly how I would imagine myself in that scenario. He just got in a crash, himself, too.

>>734699773
Yeah we get updates from most hospitals. That guy died during surgery. He was 90 and had multiple forms of cancer. I live in the Pacific Northwest. Some unions have great contracts.

Here is another decomp story
>Dispatched to assisted removing another body (this happens a lot in my rural area due to the coroner only being a one man response)
>It's winter time and like 30 degrees out
>Body is in a little tiny camper trailer
>Open door and step inside, guy had space heater on when he died, been about 4 days
>Walking in I see blood and feces everywhere on the floor and walls
>Guy drinks a half gallon of fireball per day, do the math
>Blood trail leads to a small back bedroom with two beds on either side, and a closet separating the beds
>Body is on the bed with no sheet underneath
>Kinda tucked back in the corner facing away from us
>His feet are mummified, black and dried out
>We have to place a sleeping bag on the ground below to drag him to the door
>I grab the legs and start pulling while someone else gets his shoulders (sounds familiar right?)
>I start pulling and feel his flesh start separating and sliding off under my glove
>Get him down and drag him out
>Glove rips and I get gross shit on my hand
>Guy died of a massive GI bleed from drinking all the fucking time

>>734700320
Either one emotional or disgusting but I don't want to make you relive anything you don't want to

why do threads always seem to get shut down right after I post in them?

>>734700973
I'm so numb to death at this point, nothing really phases me or makes me scared to talk about. I like telling people stories, it offers a glimpse into a side of the world most people never see.
>During routine chest pain call, about to AMA the guy
>Taking off 12 lead and getting him to sign when tones drop
>Respond ALS Red for CPR in progress on a 1 year old
>Oh fuck
>Clear this cal and go enroute
>Arrive on scene and walk inside
>See mom and dad on the couch, mom is crying uncontrollably
>Walk to the bedroom and see a crowd of uniforms
>See a pale pair of little legs laying on the ground, moving with each chest compression
>Get swapped in for compressions, we are a few rounds in at this point and aren't making progress
>I feel the kids lungs expanding under my fingertips as I do CPR
>Get on the airway and swap out to bag the kid
>His brother who is like 2 is sleeping in crib right next to us
>Will never forget the look on the kids face
>Just a blank lifeless stare, your brain seems to know right away that this is not a normal thing to see, because it causes a feeling nobody can understand
>Lead medic makes a call to see the ER has any other ideas before we call it
>The say nope, and we called the time of death
>We all walk out one by one, walking past the parents on our way out
>The medic is walking out last and mom has realized what she is about to hear
>Medic stays in and tells her that her son is dead
>We all walk out, hardly say a few words then return to the station

I want to hear stories from men in uniform who have done fucked up things on duty

>>734703169
Only fucked up thing I have ever done is give drunks larger IVs and check out girls tits when we expose their chest

>>734703028
The cannabis oil might have really helped

>>734703169
> made fun of a dead guy on call
>mvc involving motorcycle
> half of head missing brains fat and blood across two lanes of high way
>legs all fucked up. put sheet over his body

It would have helped before the seizure started

>>734703498
I'm not sure if that's entirely true. I've seen video of people with seizures/autism that use medical marijuana to cope with seizures if as they are happening.

>>734705165
nice

Work for a towing company, and I've seen son sick shit.
>Head on collision between two 18 wheelers
>Driver of the one we got was shredded
>Coroner never recovered all of the poor bastard.
Another
>Once again two 18 wheelers, head on
>Fire Dept. extracts the driver
>We clean up scene, and tow truck back to our yard
>Couple of days later wrecked truck starts to reek of death
>They got the driver out, but left the co- driver, and a dog in the sleeper.

>>734705178
Those people usually have muscle related disorders, I have yet to hear of an active seizure being stopped by cannabis oil. Sometimes during a seizure you don't breath, and it has to be heated in order to be activated and putting something in someones mouth during a seizure is not a good idea to risk of aspiration and biting your finger, their jaw may already clenched.

>>734705178
*even as they are

>>734705526

>>734705372
Regardless I want further research, I think there's tons of potential

>>734705710
I don't want big pharmaceutical companies hiding the benefits of marijuana or lobbying for restrictions just to keep their profits selling their half-as-effective drugs

cannabis oil cannot be absorbed by the human body quick enough to stop a current seizure.
