A podcast for new nurses in the ED, for students who are interested in the ED, and for existing RNs who may want to hear a different take on our wonderful job.
@ntegrity22@sethpurcell5@EM_RESUS Then you should know that if this is ventricular tachycardia they could certainly still have a pulse, be aware, and complain of shortness of breath.
@JRineh94@whstancil Sure, let’s go with that - that’s one rep for every 685k people in California and one rep for every 331k in 6 states you listed. Effectively twice the representatives by capita because of the cap on the house.
@Dallas_Holladay@envomaskusa Yup, the silicone gel fit feels secure and makes longer shifts with it on much more comfortable. I wear a surgical over it, change filters every few shifts.
@andyglittle Yeah, man, 12 hours in triage on Thanksgiving day and I tested positive within the week. Only bad symptoms for one day, otherwise just chilling at home.
@DreadPirateEsk @luckiiyu7 It’s about allocation of resources. In mass casualty events, the worst off don’t get treated at all because it would take too many resources away from those with a greater chance of survival.
@M_Muszalski @luckiiyu7 People eating junk food aren’t the reasons hospitals and EDs are full. I’ve yet to contract snack fever treating a snack eater. I don’t wear full PPE all day to protect myself from Cheeto crumbs. We both agree that preventative healthcare is important, but this is different.
