@Fearless_Fred Wasn't allowed to use the oven/stovetop. So I naturally roasted hotdogs.... Over a makeshift fire pit made from one of those Royal Dansk cookie tins. Yes in the kitchen. No the house didn't burn down. But yes there was evidence in the linoleum . Also ten.

The job/life will throw the unexpected, but you should never be unprepared.

Urgency momentum

Flying or response driving to an incident at maximum safe speed creates a sense of urgency & time pressure after we arrive on scene

Results in assessments, decisions & communications being made with an urgency which is often not unnecessary & can lead to error

If Paramedics spent half the time thinking about falls risks, falls assessment and falls referrals than they do about identifying hyperkalemia by ECG changes then the world would be a better place.

This week 86 people died in Ontario of Covid-19.

5 were at Michael Garron Hospital in Toronto.

And Dr. Michael Warner was with each of them when they died.

Scared. Finding it hard to breath. Without their families.

Please watch and understand the real toll of the pandemic.
