V-tach

[medic429]

Did you call medical control? Just wondering if/how you treated this before I really can say much.

Chin up.

[vs-eh?]

Yes, we all need more information for any one to comment without gross speculation on this case. Please (if you are going to do so) present it in a case study format, including what you did.

Rarity in EMS? I personal have never seen it.

If you are looking for standards of treatment in EMS? http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/reprint/112/24_suppl/IV-67

True. I've obviously been told wrong that all V-tachs will eventually deteriorate into codes. Ah well.

Don't patronize me. I'm not a retard. I've just been taught incorrectly.

Just remember, in medicine there is no such thing as "always" and "never." The only exceptions are, if you are standing on a corner minding your own business, two dudes will walk up to you and shoot you, ALWAYS. The other, if you are changing a light bulb naked, you will fall on it and it will find its way into your rectum. Other than those, there is no "always" or "never"

I hate it when that happens!

It is hard to comment without having additional information. If you could provide us with some additional details it would be very helpful.

Granted. I made a mistake by making an always/never statement. I'm just going to go bury my head in the sand now. :wink:

I see " ER DOC" is getting the "usual" ER patients, no one would believe what we see and hear.

Actually, there is no sand here now. Just mud. :x
