First Responder Dreams.

Just a super buff reblogging my way through life. If someone says to go into nursing laugh at them and say that you like your social life. 20 y/o EMT in a busy 911 system.

Not backing down. Not running. Supporting all those who stand the line wherever it is.

Medics, what do you carry with you at work? Here’s my EDC. Not pictured: a pillow and sleeping bag.

This is incredible and potentially life-saving. I hope this gets developed and promoted so that it becomes part of our gear one day.

I would absolutely wear this into a building if given the chance.

1. You have the bladder capacity of five people. 2. You have ever restrained someone and it wasn’t a sexual experience. 3. You believe that 50% of people are a waste of good air. 4. Your idea of a good time is a shooting or a car crash/rollover. 5. You believe in the aerial spraying of Prozac and birth control pills. 6. You believe the government should require a permit to reproduce. 7. You refer to your favorite restaurant by the intersection it’s located at. 8. You have ever wanted to hold a seminar entitled: “Suicide….getting it right the first time. 9. You think caffeine should be available in IV form. 10. People flag you down on the street for directions to the strangest places….and you know where they are located. 11. You can discuss where you are going to eat with your partner while standing over a dead body. 12. You have ever assessed the level of orientation of a patient and didn’t know the correct answer. 13. A weeks worth of laundry consists of five of the same pair of pants and five of the same shirts, five pairs of underwear and five pairs of socks. 14. You’ve ever referred to Tuesday as “my weekend”, or “this is my Friday.” 15. Discussing dismemberment over a meal seems perfectly normal to you. 16. You find humor in other people’s stupidity. 17. You have ever avoided an unhealthy looking COPD'er in public for fear that he might drop dead in front of you, causing you to have to do CPR on your day off. 18. You have your weekends planned for a year. 19. You ever look at complete strangers and your first thought is “nice veins”. 20. You believe unspeakable evil will befall you if anyone says, “Boy, it sure is QUIET tonight.”

Some of these refer to dispatchers as well, because trust me.

β-blockers

β-receptor Antagonists (Beta Blockers) (-Lol Drugs, β1 Selective: Metoprolol, Atenolol, Carvedilol, Esmolol; β Nonselective: Propranolol, Nadolol): ❍ Mechanism of action: β1-receptor stimulation increases contractility (inotropy), heart rate (chronotropy), and AV conduction, whereas β2-receptor stimulation dilates the bronchial tree and causes peripheral vasodilation. β1 blockade then causes decreased inotropy, heart rate, and AV conduction and is therefore very useful in a variety of conditions. β2 blockade is less clinically useful because preventing bronchial dilation is not helpful, although preventing cerebral vasodilation makes β2 blockade attractive for migraine headache prophylaxis. Therefore, most beta blockers in use are β1 selective. ❍ Clinical uses: Used to treat hypertension; used to treat heart failure because sympathetic activity on the heart also causes maladaptive remodeling of the failed heart, similar to angiotensin II; used to treat coronary artery disease because beta blockade will prevent sympathetic stimulation of the heart, which would increase myocardial oxygen demand. ❍ Side effects: Because beta blockade causes decreased AV conduction, it can precipitate heart block; nonselective beta blockers can cause bronchospasm due to prevention of β2-mediated bronchodilation and can also cause erectile dysfunction due to prevention of β2-mediated vasodilation. β1 blockade may also mask the adrenergic symptoms of hypoglycemia. Overdose can be treated with glucagon, which directly stimulates myocardial cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production; β1-receptor activation works through the same pathway. ❍ Contraindications: Asthma is a contraindication to the use of nonselective beta blockers.

You can only hide being incompetent for so long, and in this job that’s not an option.

Submitted. In reality it could be both. It could be neither.
