1:16 PSA, folks; if the word "gun" is in the name, i.e. "nail gun", treat it like a real gun. Rule 1: Assume it's loaded until you've confirmed otherwise. Rule 2: Never allow it to point at anything you're not willing to destroy. Rule 3: Keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire it. Rule 4: Always be certain of your target and aware of what is beyond and immediately around it. It's not just for boomsticks, boys. These rules work on construction equipment too.

I agree entirely, but at the same time, "look at this nasty foot we gotta scan after lunch" doesn't seem in anyway respectful. Just saying, after dealing with multiple charges of medical negligence in the family, the fact that people do talk about patients like this is just stupid. If you wouldn't use that phrasing to their face, don't be so morally questionable to demean their condition behind closed doors. Dark humor asside, you didn't call it nasty because it was a defence mechanism. Just, baffles me how other people in the field can work in healthcare and talk like this. In my years of care, work first aid and event first aid, i've never ever done anything like that. Like, i knew someone who was removed from an event FA listing for being overheard eating a hot dog saying "bet this is what that guys dick looks like now", about someone who tore their foreskin pretty bad on their zipper in the toilets. Theres dark humor, then theres disrepectful humor. To not seem like too much of an ass though, i do agree, same place, our troop took our break, and ofcourse i had tomato sauce on my hot dog.

I am not an EMT, but I ended up helping an 80 yr old with osteoporosis, when he tripped, and hit his head against a wall. He passed out. Blood from his head, obvious fracture of his right leg. I couldn't do all that much, but I hit 999, put the phone on speaker, and followed instructions. As well as adding some training I got at work. Loosened clothing so he could breathe, etc. His pulse was terrible, his colour went weird, and he was having trouble breathing. It was a horrible, rasping, gasping wheezing. There was a fair amount of blood, he was on thinners as well. People were just walking around him. Someone even stepped on him. I was pissed off. Got other people to make a perimeter, and used my electric wheelchair to block them. Then, I got my coat, placed it over him, and held his head still. When he came around, I asked him questions like his name, etc. I lied, and told him I was a nurse, because he was panicking. He kept wanting to get up, and I told him to stay as still as he could with the pain. He was very brave, it kind of broke my heart because he kept apologising for "causing a fuss". He started relaying his medical conditions to me. As well as telling me where he hurt, and how bad each was. The leg was the worst, he said. I tried to remember what he was saying, to tell the ambulance crew. When the EMT turned up, they actually told me to stay, to my surprise. I told them what I thought he had: fractured skull, concussion, broken leg and broken ribs, as well as his hip. He had passed out again before they got there. Turns out I was right, it was obvious. Especially on the head, I could see the depressed area, and his leg, which was stuck out at an angle on his shin. He also had a partially collapsed lung. I helped to keep him still, whilst they got a board, and the ambulance lady counted down for me and her swapping places. It was scary, but not scary at the same time. I honestly thought he was going to die, because he had a fit before he came around. He shook all over. But I ended up helping, talking to him when he came around again, whilst the professionals did their thing. Very weird experience, I was cold. Poor guy took ages to recover. I saw him again in our local pub a month or so later. Thing I learned from all this, was: keep calm. Pretend you know what you are doing until the pros get there. It seems to just settle people down. I felt like a jerk for lying, but it worked. I felt strange, afterwards. I went into shock myself, but only AFTER he was loaded into the ambulance. I didn't realise it until a police man told me thats what was happening to me. He had come along as well because there was a big crowd. Obviously, I was fine, but it was a very weird day. I can't imagine the stress of having to do that day in, and day out. I wasn't even medically treating him, and I was scared.

Great reaction, you did the best possible thing. Thank you - and congratulations. Being in shock after the event is something a lot of people who stumble upon an accident encounter *after* the action is over. Professionals don't have that any more - on the one hand, they get used to it. They know what to do and human beings can get used to everything. And in the other hand: they are not alone. They are always at least two. And talking about what happened, asking the other about how they are is something that really helps a lot. Comradery allows them to handle nearly everything. And here (and I hope everywhere in the world, too) we can easily get a professional to talk to if it still is too much what we saw. So if you ever get in a similar situation again: Do what has to be done, be as great as last time - and then invite someone over. Not being alone really helps.

@@tabbyreed8925 On my very first ride along, we got a call three blocks from our post for GSW. The crew I was riding with worked with SWAT teams, former military, experienced with GSWs. We got on-scene before the cops, but these yahoos got one verbal confirmation from a bystander that the gunman had left and we jumped out and got to work. (No, the guman did not come back, luckily.) LSS, pt had no pulse and a mouth full of blood (and blood all down his chest), so I was told to start chest compressions while the medics got him on the stretcher and got him in the back. The whole time, the lead medic kept attempting to clear the airway. He was sure the pt had been shot in the mouth and had a wound in the back of his throat because the blood kept coming. It wasn't until we moved him into the ambulance that we realized the pt had been shot in the heart. When I was told to start compressions, the second medic had already cut the shirt away and stepped to the cab to grab the cardiac kit. Unknowingly, I put the heel of my hand directly on the bullet hole. I stopped compressions for loading the stretcher and the lead medic got in first and immediately saw the chest wound. He tested it himself with two hands around the hole and blood came pouring out. He took one look at me and I knew it was over. He didn't say anything, just put a stack of gauze over it and had me resume compressions while he did paperwork and called in to the ER. After the call, he told me about his mistake and said if he had realized the actual nature of the wound, he wouldn't have started the protocols, but once he had, they had to be played out. His main regret was that his mistake probably cost the family in excess of $40k in medical bills.

Not that it's necessarily *impossible* for CPR to get the pulse back, but that it's rare enough that you're really not trying to do that, just trying to keep the blood circulating mechanically.

When training people up here in the Arctic, we keep telling them to keep up with the CPR, as nobody is dead until they're "warm and dead" meaning that unless they're frozen solid (usually not easily survived by humans) they might be still alive, although feeling cold to the touch, so we don't declare death unless it's obvious (frozen, half eaten by a polar bear etc) or we have then somewhere warm and they stay cold

That's a report you give to medical command. But it's also a report that the transporting agency should give, not the Fire Captain. Despite being an ALS Engine Company, their job is pretty much over once the BooBooBus shows up. I think this happens because, in the special headspace of Hollywood, you can't give speaking lines like that to anyone other than the series forerunner(s) and in that scene the lead credit Medic on the show was committing malpractice in a different scene.

When I worked in the ER, the Nurse taking report would be the one to declare a trauma code based on MOI, and the receptionist would be the one on the overhead paging the Trauma Team. That page brings the Trauma Surgeon, rad techs, lab techs, puts ICU and the OR on standby, and even requires the Chaplain to make a pass through the ER to make sure everyone is holding up. All that shit dude called out on the radio was nothing more than unnecessary Hollywood nonsense.

And other states be like "we'll decide if it's a stroke or not and use the MED radio required by DOH and not your cell phone".

In the United States it’s often called an MTP (massive tranfusion protocol). It’s an order for the blood bank to prepare a whole bunch of blood products and they put it in a cooler with ice. Then you get the Level 1 and give it super fast. If you have a big enough IV like a cordis then a whole unit of blood can go in as fast as it takes you to get the next unit ready to go. There is also the belmont (spelling?) But I have never used that one, just the level 1. If you do these, you have to keep an eye on the ionized calcium though.
