An educator, fearless rural health advocate (will fight you), EMT, CHSOS, thinks vaccines are cool, loves technology and progression. Kinda grumpy about it tho.

“...if a victim is wearing an undergarment containing metal...” 🤔AKA a bra.
Bra. Bra. Bra. Just say BRA. #itsnotadirtyword #AHA

I think I’m always last to know that these are not real people.

Creating exciting simulation scenarios is my happy place 🙂🚑✌🏻 #simbodies #simulationtraining @SIMBODIES

[SimulationTech @SimulationTech]

@TXSIMTECH 🤣 Seriously though. How are you making that work? Is it one on one?

[SimulationTech @SimulationTech]

@simulationtek @sim_aware I didn’t realize we only had 24 hours. 😅

[SimulationTech @SimulationTech]

In all seriousness, I was thinking about how nice it would be for rural healtcare facities to have an endowment or foundation in which the interest supported and/or supplemented salaries. They could recruit, retain, and compensate the best forever! 😎

[SimulationTech @SimulationTech]

If you win the mega millions and/or powerball, how big of a foundation or endowment are you giving your program? Here’s a referral (that helps us both) to buy your tickets via an app and not smell like a fried burrito. https://t.co/3uaoXPDn3S

@htan7 At the time, I had worked in sim about 5 years. I knew basic hardware, software, and networking. I walked in without studying and passed. You might brush up on medical vocabulary (prefixes) and simulation pedagogy. Things like principles of insitu, debriefing etc.

[SimulationTech @SimulationTech]

Seeking clarity: rural hospitals have applied for “forgivable” small business loans to the tune of millions. How forgivable is this and why does no one really know or care?

[SimulationTech @SimulationTech]

@simulationtek LOL. I’ve been known to sharpie them back on. I’m not sure I recommend it.

[SimulationTech @SimulationTech]

@JenArnoldMD Thank you, not only for appreciating advances in science, but using your platform to encourage others and spread positive, factual, info. Hope you are feeling ok post vaccine.

[SimulationTech @SimulationTech]

@htan7 I’m sorry, I’ve been asleep at the wheel here. What a disservice to my profession. Do you still need a run down on CHSOS or have you already become certified and retired by now?

[SimulationTech @SimulationTech]

Happy New Year, Sim Fam. I hope to be more active here, but I probably won’t.

One thing about going bald at 30, people on tours don’t assume I’m a student anymore.

[SimulationTech @SimulationTech]

Several years ago someone told me that rural healthcare would change drastically in the near future. “Cool story bro”. Turns out, he wasn’t the village idiot holding a sign and we see and feel that now. It’s getting scary out here.

@KTWaxman “...’Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar...”

[SimulationTech @SimulationTech]

We live because we listened to that song in many environments, many times. What if we looked at every skill in our scope of practice that way? OVERTRAIN TO PERFECTION.

[SimulationTech @SimulationTech]

How is gender identity being handled in hospitals appropriately? I’m about to administer a medication but the armband says male and I believe my patient is female. Do I administer it or double check my 5 rights?

[SimulationTech @SimulationTech]

By mistake I made a bunch of patient armbands say male for a female patient. No one noticed. Is sex/gender even a valid indentifier anymore? If it is, how do you politely handle a discrepancy as a healthcare provider?

[SimulationTech @SimulationTech]

And I know I’m not alone in being frustrated.
