But you're right... You're the expert. No one could possibly know more about this shit than you do.

I'll just stfu like you suggested.

(where's the emoticon where I can give the finger?)

Where exactly did I claim to be the expert? Good bro started a thread about is health and I thought he would appreciate some no bullshit feedback. Just like if I ever become a dirty self righteous cvnt with a rodent infestation I would appreciate some non biased no bullshit advice from you

You know nothing about me and you obviously don't know shit about either pneumonia or MI's. If it were truly serious he would have been intubated within the first 24 hours before the abx could take effect. If it were a true cardiac event the EKG would have been abnormal and he would have mentioned the serious IV cardiac meds he was being given ie. Heparin, nitroglycerin or mentioned the stat heart cath/angiogram he needed. It's shitty but using my common knowledge nursing skills was able to determine it wasn't life threatening.

I have a ton of empathy and sensitivity. I would never have chosen this profession If I didn't. I get cases all the time that I cry over when I get home. I hold hands and rub backs and actually sit down with my patients, even when I'm super behind, just to get to know their story. I hug and cry with parents of deceased children. I console grief stricken family members and patients. I give sympathy when it's actually warranted; so I'll be sure to call you at your parents house next time I get a paper cut so you can send me a care basket and put me in for a prayer request. You don't know fucking dick about me or my character bish so seriously stick to what you know...whatever the fuck that is.

This may be true, PD... I was merely pointing out that your posts were not reflective of any level of compassion.

If you can triage out critical illness via terse internet postings then you are a true nursing-psychic. Mortal that I am, I was actually worried about the kid.

Anyone with an entry level medical degree could read his first few posts and rule him out as 'critical'. There are much more invasive interventions that would have been mentioned had this been a severe case of pneumonia or a bad cardiac event. There are many clues in his post which also led me to this conclusion. The fact that his mom, an RN, assessed him and deemed him competent to drive himself into the ER. A severe pneumonia case would not even be able to walk the distance from the parking lot to the ER waiting room. He mentioned that his EKG was normal, this is one of the first determining factors to determining a myocardial infarction wether it be the critical STEMI or even a non STEMI. He only required mild oxygen therapy, another determinant to lung perfusion/gas exchange. We probably see an average of 8 pneumonia cases per day and very rarely do they need critical care measures. The ones that do are very old or have an underlying condition compromising their immune system or pulmonary system. I know steri to be a young otherwise healthy male. For the pneumonia to be severe with him he would need another system failure, chronic or acute, or severely immunocompromised. I assumed either one of those would have been worth mentioning in the initial posts. I may stand corrected with my assessment but I gave what info I could with the facts provided to the best of my knowledge. So excuse the fuck out of me for trying to help out a good bro. Constructive, functional and applicable help; not a reach around and a balloon.
