I thought I had a bad suspension bobble but after cleaning the trunk out the clunking stopped, so I think it was just junk shifting back and forth.

Yo I'm weirded out about starting an EMT-B class without knowing literally anything about healthcare. Any advice on what to self-study some? I've taken a required CPR/BLS for Providers course (or at least the online bit... in class is Jan 5) and I've been reading up on EKG analysis and I found the National Standard Curriculum online but I have no idea what's most important to know or where to spend a lot of time and I HATE going into a class blind, even if it's "Don't kill people you're trying to help 101"

EMT-B won't touch EKG, it's more of a "package, stabilize, transport" job, so you're already ahead of the game. The class should be designed as the entry into healthcare, and ease you into it. This isn't meant to be dismissive, though! The job EMTs do is the bedrock of care, and those skills are applicable at every level. They're going to pound into your head that your safety takes priority above all else, but patient safety is a close second. Don't forget that. Every scenario starts with "BSI, scene safe?" (BSI meaning body substance isolation stuff, like gloves), and both are ways to protect yourself. Even in day-to-day incidents, like someone choking in a restaurant or collapsing from an MI, you evaluate your safety before approaching and treating. Anything from panicked family members, bloody vomit with an HIV+ person, trying to treat in the middle of a roadway, or even being too physically small to heimlich Larry Bird without breaking your back, those all apply and are what 1/3rd of the class will probably be about. In fact, studies show that BLS care (two EMTs) vs ALS care (paramedic or higher), has a vastly superior survival rate in nearly every category when they're standalone without extra equipment not usually available, due to the focus in the very important basics. The only category that ALS care shows higher survival rates, cardiac issues, is even superceded by an EMT if an AED is available to them at the time of incident. I'd rather be surrounded by EMTs or people with a cellphone and an AED, than trusting myself in 99% of cases Queen Combat fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Dec 24, 2018 |

I'll just watch these NREMT practical videos a bunch until I know the procedures as second nature then.

So, today Kevin Spacey was charged with felony sexual assault. Two hours after the charge was announced, he posts this video to his youtube page, and in doing so makes a late play for "most WTF moment of 2018." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZveA-NAIDI There isn't a  big enough. It wasn't condoned by Netflix, and is creepy as hell. I wasn't before, but now I'm fully convinced that, somewhere, there are bodies.He's imitating a literal rapist-murderer (Frank Underwood did both in HoC).

Merry Xmas everyone! My nephew seems very happy with the wooden Dump Truck I rescued from hard rubbish and repainted. I had to replace 90% of the wood on it and it’s very much a 10ft paint job but he’s loving pulling it around the neighbourhood. I hope everyone else has as pleasant a morning as I have!

Nothing quite says merry Christmas like your scrotum being stuck to your thigh while you wait for the roast to cool down from surface of the sun hot... May consider diesel swap. At least people might stop pulling out in front of me off if I drove a literal tank...

Adiabatic posted:Merry Christmas Car Friends! Merry Christmas car friend! Don't follow the nremt protocol perfectly, in your first class or two you'll get your practical skills packet. THAT is your Bible, and that is what you'll be tested on in class. It is subtly different from nremt, though practically it'll all become automatic enough that the differences in what you need to say you are doing don't matter. No one uses or has cravats to use for stabilizing limbs around here, so if your instructor is a motherfucker about it and they make you feel like you won't get it in the field, don't worry. Just pass the class and you'll be fine. I had four classmates have melt downs and drop out over an elbow sling with a single instructor. You are smart and driven, you've got this. Also bug your local rescue to do some observer shifts. It's a lot of fun for everyone.

Went to my dad's house for Christmas eve, it was pretty dope. Though it got weird at the end when he pulled my wife and I aside and told us all about this scary story he saw on 60 minutes about plastics and how they're ruining the world and polluting everything and he saw this video of a river of plastic trash and how freaky it was. I watched him pour old gasoline down a storm drain once. v  v
