Daycare calls me. That's never good.
For them.
Daycare: "your son hurt his elbow and won't move his arm. Can you come take him to a doctor's office?"
Me (ex Special Forces Medic): "A real doctor is on the way to you now. I am 6 mikes out. Alert me of status changes."
I arrive at daycare. I locate the patient. 21 month old male. Scene is not safe. I drag the patient to cover and concealment behind a seesaw, away from the other small terrorists in the AO.
I begin my assessment. Blood sweep negative for massive hemorrhage. Mental status: conscious and verbal but confused (answers "dada" when asked for blood type). One breath every 2 seconds. Bilateral rise and fall of the chest. Strong carotid pulse, strong bilat radial pulse.
Teeth and tongue intact no blood no mucus no dip or foreign objects. Eyes PERRLA, negative JVD/trach deviation, C-spine intact upon palpation.
Heart sounds strong upon auscultation. Percussion negative for hemo-T. Abdominal quads normal upon palpation. Pelvis negative for book sign.
Arms and legs negative for crepitus. However, Patient indicates discomfort in right arm upon palpation and supination/flexion of the elbow.
Nursemaid's elbow.
I begin interventions. Supination/flexion technique complete at 1215. Palpable clunk on successful reduction. I write the time on his chest in Sharpie. I tape a popsicle to his hand and tell the patient to suck but do not bite/chew. I write "1 x popsicle (10g sugar)" on his chest in Sharpie.
I reassess the patient after performing interventions then package the patient for handoff to daycare/higher level of care. I yell at daycare over the Blackhawk in my head: "21 month old male!!! Nursemaids elbow!!! Treated with supination/flexion technique at 1215!!! Patient has 1 x popsicle onboard!!"
Daycare: "sir please leave."
Me: "you should have called my wife."
@FLDadReborn I’m convinced they’re really just filiming a prank show and trying to get people to go off for the views. That explanation actually makes more sense to me than the kabuki show we have now.
Air Conditioning Discourse is another example of American Dads being absolutely essential. We are the solution.
1) Air Conditioning is great.
2) Seriously, close the blinds, turn on a fan, and don't touch the thermostat. It doesn't have to be at 68.
a good middle manager looks like a guy who just drinks coffee and forwards emails, but his actual job is secretly absorbing insane executive requests so the team can just do their work
What a fucking photo.
Hung Cao’s family fled the Vietnamese communists as refugees.
He returns to meet with the Vietnamese communists as emissary of the most powerful empire in world history, acting Secretary of the United States Navy.
It’s like a biblical story. Joseph’s brothers sell him into slavery and he returns to them as the powerful representative of the Pharaoh
Amazing
@TheIntelFrog At first glance, I assumed this video was from a third world country. Can’t believe a pilot did this - and filmed it! - under the nose of the FAA.
The other day I was swimming with my kids. 7yo looked at my face and noticed something on my upper lip. She asked, “What’s that white stuff on your beard. DO YOU DYE YOUR BEARD!?!?!” Reader, it was snot.
