My first call!

[shirlene29]

We got the parents intubated right away and I even got two 14g iv's in each feet of both of them. They're ABC's were stable when we transferred them but no way will they make it past a few weeks. The mother especially had terrible facial burns, no real nose and hair completely melted to her head. The child was not able to brought back unfortunately.

jesus...feet...
props to your team for getting lines started anywhere
cooked skin and flat veins. what a fucking disaster.

we had one call that I wasn't the primary on but did deal with what used to be my regular partners aftermath...
where the victim had arguably 4th degree burns...we actually looked it up and its apparently a semi controversial grade
charred bone and the victim was still conscious


spys right...kid suicides are fuckin horrible
being the person that gets to "presume" (ct didn't legally allow "pronounce" in the field for a while) that death sucks shit bad
course I didn't even like doing it when it was the basic elderly person that died in their sleep either

I hate the noises they often make when you roll em over/move em


upside tryin...wait till you have a fritzy co alarm that goes off for the umpteenth time in 24 hrs and you just wanna rip the thing out of the wall and stomp on it...haha

all emergency services are like family...all up in your shit and cook you food you may not like then insist you eat it..and you can't get rid of em...haha
but in all seriousness they're usually super good peeps but you'll meet plenty that are in to grandiosity and don't really give a shit beyond being able to get all up in the fray

here's one for ya

When a roofer falls off a roof and dies his friends and family come to the services

When a fire fighter dies especially in the line of duty 100's of brothers come out for the service, reaching out to the widow and kids..

I don't know of any other.. Cops do to a point however again, the perception of the populace is they are all rotten, but every body loves a firefighter.

the thin blue line is its own thing...different but not really any less or more tight

an "ambulance driver" gets no respect from anyone..haha

 

[PICK3]

they're sum firefighters in my county that are fat fucks

even fatter than me

don't understand how they could climb a high rise ladder, or retrieve an adult from multiple flights of stairs without sum sort of coronary event

Had a guy two months ago get caught in the act of an attempted suicide by his mother. While she was trying to take the shotgun from him, he reached around and pushed the trigger. Entry wound was his nipple and exit wound was his entire rib cage.

Arrived on scene in less than 7 mins and got to see a human heart beating in the chest through the gap where his lung used to be

Probably one of the more serious wounds ive seen where the patient lived

We didnt have a dressing big enough to seal 3 sides so we used a fuckin plastic ziplock bag off the truck cab. God knows what was in it initially

Also got in alot of shit for entering a residence where a shooting took place without PD being there first but the fucker would have died if.we woulda waited so it is what it is

I have yet to see a story about a firefighter/medic abuse another person in any way. The latest story in which I speak, the RI police officer that kicked a drunk, handcuffed woman who was sitting on the sidewalk square in the side of her head, knocking her unconcious. And there are many other stories like this.

Thanks. Yes, I definitely agree about the advice. It just feels like what I should do. I like to know how things happen, I like to help people, and yea I know sometimes things won't turn out as well as I would like them to, but that's life.

Fuck yea, my two favorite things in the trauma rooms are a cracked chest and an emergency crike. It's been awhile since I've had both on the same patient. Last time was a marine that just returned home and his dryer blew up cooking over 90% of his body. He started with peripherals and ended up with a femoral central line, arterial line, emergency crike since his airway completely closed up then cracked his chest as a last ditch effort
