**Lifting the gurney out of the rig**
Patient: Ohh, please don’t drop me.
My brain:
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Don’t say it
Me: We only drop people on Tuesdays.
I’m not on social media much these days, but tonight my heart is broken for the first responders in Coeur d’Alene.
I serve on my county’s CISM and Peer Support teams, and I want to encourage anyone affected by this tragedy to reach out to someone. This is a life-altering event, please, don’t carry it alone.
I can handle people hoarding toilet paper and hand sanitizer only to sell it for a profit. But someone in my county has purchased all the baby formula and is trying to sell it at $75 a pop. Whoever you are, you deserve to have the fucking shit beat out of you.
From my station to yours, wishing everyone a #MerryChristmas.
To everyone that’s working, stay safe and make it home to your families. For everyone else, drink a beer (or 2 or 3) for me.

Pt: **moaning** I need that pain medication that starts with a D, it’s the only medication that helps.
Nurse: DaTramadol?
Me:
Question, what’s your guys policy on suicides/suicide threats? Do you stage for law on every patient or leave it to provider discretion? Does your dispatch center share pertinent information? What would you change?
That said, I think we should stage for all suicide threats, in our system EMS is NOT properly equipped for these situations. We’re not trained in defense tactics, we don’t have anything to defend ourselves with, and there’s no formal de-escalation training. And we’re complacent!
Serious question, what do your departments hand out for Halloween? I was thinking about adding glow sticks to our list this year. Looking for some affordable ideas for my volly department.
When you’re dispatched to a detached extension of the hospital, just so you can transport someone exactly 0.0 miles to the ED
So, I’m laying in a station bed, having these “random funny/smart to me” thoughts, wishing I could share my wisdom with the world, then I remembered, I have a twitter account. Bear with me, it’s been a while.
Thirdly, for the love of all that is holy, can someone who is 1,000xs smarter than me, please come up with a Bluetooth solution for our 12 lead cables!!! Like why isn’t that a thing yet?
