Am a medic. Had a similar call, but dude ended up having a rare tumor on his pancreas called and insulinoma. They produce and hold a bunch of insulin and can occasionally rupture and flood your system with insulin. Ofcourse we didn’t Know he had one at the time.

We had a non Diabetic PT that we found with a glucose that just read low. So 30< with our glucometers. Dumped 100 of d20 into him with absolutely no changes. Ended up infusing 4 more bags of d20 into him during transport. Got him up to like 80 and then watched him become unresponsive again 5 min later. Checked again and found it to be back to 40. He was in a room a few min later. Normally Im glad we don’t cary d50 anymore that shit was like using a sledge hammer to hammer in a tack nail. But this was the one time d20 wasn’t cutting it.

Anyways, glad you are alive. Shit can be scary.

I think the main issue is that people expect a magic fix. This is a common problem in the world today. Many things are massively overhyped and then turn out to be a huge disappointment to many people because they are not as perfect as the hype lead them to belive.

I belive these glasses can be a useful tool to some one that struggles with color blindness. But just that. A tool. Not a fix. By understand what these glasses can actualy do and their limitations someone with color blindness can potentially get a lot more information what the hues and colors they wouod normally struggle with. They won’t however maks them suddenly see in perfect color.

I hope they help your wife, and I belive that if she uses them as an aid, not a fix, they will help her a lot.

Best of luck.

Dumb knee jerk reaction. Having said that, cops are not medical personnel and do not have the training to identify ExDS compared to other presentations and uncooperative behavior.

They should not be calling any behavior that. They should just say the jumbject displayed hostile behavior and did xyz.

EMS has to get better about ketamine doses and when to use K verses just versed.

Everyone has a responsibility for their own safety. We should do what is reasonable to reduce harm and risk to others, but there is only so much that can be reasonable. If a person wears dark clothing, doesn’t use crosswalks, doesn’t check for cars etc at what point does their safety become their responsibility?

That only works in more urban areas.

Its impossible to covered every road in lights and it can get very dark when you are far away from a city. Same with public transit. I am all for it, but it’s only reasonable in more densely populated areas. There just won’t be enough people using it in th middle of nowhere to just something like that much less staff it.

Meanwhile helping cars see people even in those less common and more difficult situations is a good thing. Why would you NOT want your car to be safer for others around you?

Baby was immediately taken to a state if the art NICU and had a whole team of specialists. Still has a 0.5 chance of not having brain damage when she grows up.

This is an absolutely amazing thing. But the tweet makes it seem. Like he just st with the baby and rubbed her chest. Not that she was being treated with the best equipment and by the best people.

I’m as loyal to my company as they are to me.

If big boss is cranky that day, I might get fired. If I make A mistake I might get fired. I am payed as little as they think they can get away with. My benefits are the vert least they can give me.

They will do very very minimum they can. Make no investments in me that are not going to be immediately beneficial to them…

I get payed pretty well concidering everything. But I Know that I am just a name in a spreadsheet to these people. If I get in a car accident and can’t work for a few months, the company and management will not care. They will just be annoyed that they have to struggle to fill my shift.

Why in the world would I have any loyalty to an organization like that. Why would I have any loyalty to management like that.

Paramedic. A lot of people would die at home or on the streets. Many hospitals would be overwhelmed with patients that can’t leave. Nursing homes would have to actualy take care of and treat people for once. Drunk collage kids will be allowed to go home peacefully. Police will not be able to pass off uncooperative people to hospitals for a psych evaluation as easy.

For real though, it would not be fun for the world.

Would be nice if we where treated and paid like we matter.

If it’s just paramedics and not EMTs then it won’t be as bad. People will still die though.
