Unusual call ( at least for me )

[scratrat]

I'm going with pseudo-seizure given her PMH. Either that or petit mal. Her presentation sounds like a seizure. I've had plenty that are awake and able to speak somewhat while they are having seizures on one side, or in the face, or whatever. Valium solved it. And I tried my best to ensure they weren't seekers either. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

the instructor you referenced should have you running away from that class.

The instructor is so off base that I don't think he even understands how far off base he is.

I'd pick a different instructor to follow advice from.

ONe thing to ask him, will he let you start bilateral 14 ga. IV's on him as a stable patient???? If his answer is anything but no then run away from him.

One more thing, I would have someone start bilateral 14s on you so you know how it feels especially to someone who is stable.

I can tell you one thing, I'd have chewed your rear end out if you brought me a patient with bilateral 14ga's and you couldn't justify why you started those on the patient. If you told me you just started em because you needed the practice. I'd probably be on the phone with your supervisor or boss. That's inappropriate treatment. remember this website www.malpracticeinsurancecauseIlistenedtocrappyadvicefromadumbassinstructor.com

What's wrong with B/L 14's? I'd go 12g if I could. B/L14's AC,WITH B/L 16g Ex-J's. 2 running saline wide open and 2 running Ringers.

well let's just put two central lines in, to internal jugular ivs, a rectal tube and a foley cath. when in doubt, plug all the holes.

put two ng's down him too, and then intubate em. what the heck. The more the merrier

I like it one or two patients and all the taxi riders would quit calling. :twisted:

that's the protocol for those types of patients. It gets worse for the ones who are faking.

Don't forget the Levophed

Been typing up all the new protocols. Thanks for the suggestions, now if I can just get the medical director to sign off. I may be finding joy in my job again. :wink:

this should be good. just make sure you share with the rest of us.

I would say a COMBI TUBE insted of ET, just because why not add another tube in the mix
