Never forget

Or else, congratulations, you just stabbed them AGAIN. I reeeeeally shouldn’t have to say this guys, but I do.

And basically the only thing that trumps bleeding to death as an emergency is not breathing, so take a pencil out of a water bag only if it is obstructing one of the water bag’s regular air holes.

Hopefully that was helpful. If you want more info, check out the link I added above… it’s to the Mayo clinic’s website, so the information should be legit (full transparency, I didn’t read through everything… because I am lazy).

Let us not forget the horrific tragedy that befell our country that day and the innocent lives that were lost.  Let us not embolden our enemy by allowing us to live in despair.  Let us prove that we are still the beacon of hope and liberty in the world that they envy and seek to destroy.  Let us not forget those that have sacrificed their lives to ensure those freedoms.  We are Americans.  We will not tremble.  We only overcome.

Today, we remember the events of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, when radical Islamist terrorists hijacked four planes and flew them into buildings, killing nearly 3,000 people, both civilians and government officials.  We also remember the bravery of Flight 93, whose passengers overwhelmed the terrorists and downed the plane in a field near Shanksville, PA before it could reach Washington DC.

United we stand.

9/11 Memorial

Admitted a STEMI from cath lab. Story was he called the ambulance and ambulance activated the STEMI team prior to arrival. My orientee said “So the ER just takes the ambulance crews word for it that it was a STEMI?” I replied “Well, they are all trained to spot EKG changes for that reason so yes.” He said “That’s stupid. What if they were wrong?” So I pulled out the patient’s ambulance EKG which had very minute elevation in leads II, III, & avf & asked him to find the elevation. He was unable to so I showed him the changes & the reciprocal depression. I said “You don’t get to act better than someone just because you get paid more & went to school longer. Without those guys out there to catch that this patient could have had major heart damage from precious minutes being wasted.” He shut up for a bit at least. 😠
