Kiwiology Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 So I am meeting my friend the house surgeon something to eat man he looks like death I think its the being massively overworked and dangerously fatigued
Kiwiology Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Oh dear Bushman your knowledge of redneck country music for somebody who has not lived in the redneck US is beginning to have me worried Care for some strawberry jam? mwahahahahaha
ERDoc Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 Hey Kiwi, they are having a discussion over in the EMS section on that other website about the recent artcile in Annals about prehospital Morphine vs Morphine and Ketamine.
Kiwiology Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) I went looking on that other website then realised you meant that other, other website The ketamine trial from Victoria was sponsored by the MAS so that the MAS could justify having some evidence to introduce ketamine to Intensive Care Paramedics routinely for analgesia as before that time it was used only by the MAS Flight Paramedics Of interest is that here the guidelines authorise oral ketamine 100mg in juice .... *wiggles glass enticingly Oh and also one of the brackets has come loose on my braces and my orthodontist can't see me until Wednesday, why in the hell did you become an Emergentologist and not an Orthodontist ...jeez, hey I know, I will go to the emergency department and ask the dangerously underfed, overworked and chronically fatigued House Surgeon for some of that glue they use to close wounds and stick it back on ... yes, might work Edited June 29, 2012 by Kiwiology
ERDoc Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 Yeah, that's the one I meant. Sorry for the confusion. I think a little K would go well with my whipped cream Vodka. Even if I was an orthodontist, it would probably be Thursday by the time I got there.
Kiwiology Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 No problem mate I will come over, I only have to change planes twice if I drive from Chicago or DTW, hmm I can do that so long as I keep the doors and windows locked and do not stop at the red lights for fear of being car jacked. Driving on the freeways of Kandahalifornia has not prepared me for dodging gangbangers in Detroit I did have a nosey at the KCEMS adult treatment protocols and it seems y'all have up to 3mcg/kg of fentanyl on standing order which is entirely reasonable. You folks also have IV adrenaline for anaphylaxis as a pre-radio option, OMG Emergentologist I love you, I have never seen anywhere in US that has IV adrenaline as a pre-medical control option I'm going to stop sending those magazine subscriptions to your house now because of this
ERDoc Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 I appreciate the NZ midget porn mags, but the rest is a little much. I don't have much to do with the protocols but one of my partners does. If it keeps me from having to take a radio call and I can keep moving the meat, I'm for it.
Kiwiology Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Wait ... you actually see patients? you know like treat them and junk? Here that is the work for the House Surgeons and ED Registrars, the Consultant generally has a hands off supervisory and consultation role across the Department. Obviously they get involved in sick patients but its fair to say they do not actually do a lot of hands on case management/assessment/diagnosis as the primary care provider
Kiwiology Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 So I was getting destroyed on bed time valiums in an attempt to blank out the all encompassing psychoemotional pain when I had some sort of epiphany but then I realised that was three days ago and for some reason when I woke up I was in the frozen food aisle of the grocery store ... weird I think it's best if I stayed at home
