i do that quite often.

 

Our damn medical director. Can give anything else in the box under protocol except Special K.

 

what kinda shit u got

 

Always/once

Interchangeable.

 

EPI 1:10 and 1:1, Atropine, Narcan, Adenosine, Benadryl, Solumedrol, Furosemide, Ondansetron, D-50, Bicarb, Morphine, Versed, Valium and ketamine.

Jump kit has NTG, ASA, Glucagon, oral glucose and Albuterol in it.

Feel like I’m forgetting something.

Oh Lidocaine injection and 2% bag.

 

valium what the 1980s kinda crap is that. we have about the same we got TXA some antibiotics some other stuff that gets used once every 5 years

 

We’ve been out of Valium for quite some time. Doubt they’ll ever replace it now.

Hell if we carried bandaids we’d use more of them than anything else.

Shit all I need is o2 and a no pickup form.

 

are u 911 or transport

 

911. I wouldn’t go back to that 90’s shit for nothing.

 

Man... Y’all’s drug boxes must be small... my last field job we carried our drugs around in a separate backpack.

 

ive got a plano tackle box full of shit. i wish i had a backpack that things like 50lbs.

 

Hell by the time we get to them I usually just call the coroner. That’s just in case they drop dead in front of us. I tried to get them to go to a soft pack or a Thomas drug pack and they refused. Stuck with the damn Plano hard cases. Fuck that 1970’s shit get with the program.

 

Hell half the shit goes out of date before we use it now. I’m not one of these new medics where they preach give them 20 of morphine so they don’t hurt. If your ass broke your arm you’re going to learn not to do that stupid shit again.


Now if a 80 y/o tells me they’re hurting that some real shit cause them old fuckers can take some pain. When they tell you it’s a 8 it’s a fucking 8.

 

I've got a vintage EMS case that my mom had around the time I was born.

 

The new medics push drugs to push drugs. They NEED TO DO SOMETHING. And they put everything on a drip except for the drugs they should have on a drip (ketamine for normal people, dilaudid, etc.). Fuck, I would give narcs subQ if they would let me.

 

Yeah, I had to school a few of them that that fucking drug box will cost you your license faster than slapping a fucker around.

 

We had a massive statpack full of "regular drugs," a few pocket cases for narcs, a medium sized statpack with our premixed drips, and airway drugs in the airway bag.

We had everything from insulin to TXA and vasopressin to nitroprusside.

 

Amen to that.

I used to give zofran to anyone I was transporting (3 hour transport outta Yellowstone) until that bit me in the ass hard.

 

We don’t carry anywhere near what the state will allow us to carry. We just don’t use it down here. Up around Atlanta they carry everything.

They let y’all RSI out there?

You too @Cody23

 

we generally don't RSI but its not unheard of to do a cowboy RSI.
