@MemoryExpress pretty please update on 9800X3D shipping and 50 series GPU releases. We’re figuratively dying out here waiting to build.

[Kevin @Code4Kevin]

Well @telusmobility so far this has been great. Over 2 hours on the phone. And I have to sit in my car because if I go home my call will drop like usual.

All for $180 charge on my bill that shouldn’t be there.

Pretty lousy service all around.

@paramedeq @bls_instructor Pilot singular?

[Kevin @Code4Kevin]

@heli_med_james @TheResusRoom 1. Emphasize patient wishes/choice. Maybe they want to decline having their glucose checked or an IV placed (or transport)
2. Make everyone read ‘Being Mortal’
3. Please treat pain (in line with their goals/regimen if it works out)
4. Go slow

[Kevin @Code4Kevin]

Have done lots of IFT ICU calls and HEMS scene calls in the last while, but my first prehospital thrombolysis call filled my bucket. Healthy Pt, sudden onset. A little tricky with just me and my BLS team but worked out great for the young patient. It’s a neat job. (pre/15 m post)

[Kevin @Code4Kevin]

@PulmCrit No argument here, just proving difficult to get a better system off the ground. We always seem to start with ‘no’ and have to work from the bottom. Worth the fight though.

[Kevin @Code4Kevin]

@TheLeeMcLaren All crew here have pelvic binders and our CPG is as clear as it can be and I think finds a reasonable balance.

[Kevin @Code4Kevin]

@BrooksWalsh @LavergneNatalie Probably due to downplaying T waves, missing ST elevation that is concave precordially and not appreciating subtle reciprocal change. OMI is new. Trying to enter it into the vernacular here.

The sessions from the 2022 International Critical Care Paramedic Group have been processed. Thanks to the people who made it so good (over 600 of you)! Watch this space for links to sessions! @ACParamedicine @BC_EHS @monash_para @ParamedicKenya @AirAmbulancesUK @AmbulanceVic

Thanks @cityofnanaimo the school bus managed my scary street with an inch of snow, but by all means don’t pick up recycling for a month. What a joke. Enjoy my additional tax money.

[Kevin @Code4Kevin]

@RossTuckerNFL Well, it’s cheating.

[Kevin @Code4Kevin]

@rosesusitation About to roll it out to all levels of paramedics province-wide. Will be a great addition to a more holistic approach to pain.

@adi_kumar1 Thinking, Fast and Slow. Kahneman.

[Kevin @Code4Kevin]

@WAAMBMEDIC We need to train people to listen, not simply deliver a handover. 2-way street. Even repetition doesn’t guarantee message received. Or maybe I’m just daft.

[Kevin @Code4Kevin]

@Huzaifahsmd @nickmmark @NidaQadirMD @msiuba @DrAmirKaki @FutureDocs @ogi_gajic @PulmCrit @MegriMohammed @CriticalCareNow @Singh011Jaspal @GallodeMoraesMD @EmmGeezee @IM_Crit_ Probably neither. IFT work is increasingly (and should be) done by providers fully qualified to undertake the transfer. If an issue develops they have the responsibility to identify a clinical problem and act appropriately.

[Kevin @Code4Kevin]

And often with people that might even be considered too unstable to take down the hall to CT…great work folks.

[Adam Greene @BCEHSCCP]

When unable to fly, the #BCEHS AirEvac and Critical Transport programs responds by alternate means…today three crews responded by ferry boat and/or hovercraft…

[Kevin @Code4Kevin]

@LavergneNatalie You did great! Tough act to follow!

[Kevin @Code4Kevin]

@richardarmour99 Wow thanks Richard. Was fun to present (despite the imposter syndrome). Great speakers made for an eye opening experience. More to come I hope!
