Had a superboomer convo yesterday with a patient, guy was like 90. He had gone to the same college I did, but graduated in 1961. So I asked him what Austin was like back then...he said it was a really small town but already becoming too liberal. LOL. He also said he had a professor who was one of the authors of The New Deal. Seriously, this dude in Austin in the late 50's think's it's becoming too liberal...how.

boomer was just throwing a fit because someone put up a sign saying there was a mandatory mask order in Dallas county: "WE'RE IN DENTON COUNTY THAT DOESN'T APPLY TO US! THEY HAVE NO AUTHORITY OVER US!" meanwhile it's company policy to wear a mask anyway

Like, what the hell else would someone average do? Can you explain why this is a bad idea? Also, pumping the chest transports blood that still has oxygen to the brain, even without the mouth to mouth, so chest compressions have value if someone's hypoxic for whatever reason.

CaptainSarcastic posted:Is that area the Canadian equivalent of chuds or what? Because the employee blaming the mask mandate instead of the crazy boomer strikes me as chuddy as gently caress. I'm kinda torn. When I worked checkout I didn't consider myself paid enough to not steal. If I was then put in charge of managing unruly, infantile, leadbrained, armed chuds most likely carrying a deadly disesase, and for certain not given a raise commensurate with the asspain/literal risk to life and limb? gently caress that I signed up to ring up bananas and get high in the loading dock with the stockers. You want someone to go deal with the Rage Virus outbreak in dairy like it's 28 days later hire a security guard or pay my rear end. She might be wrong on why, but she's definitely right on as far as 'It's hosed up that I'm even in this position.'

Drimble Wedge posted:Boomer rages out about masks, gets himself shot by police: I go fishing up in this area quite a bit. There's a town near there called Dorset that was in the news about a month ago for some restaurant that opened for full service and was promptly shut down by the MOH. Haliburton, Miden and Dorset are towns that thrive on tourists, hunting, fishing, and cottage rentals. So no tourists really hurt them. These places are so remote that most times you can't get there in the winter. The people that live there are the ones that can never afford to leave, don't want to leave, are old, just like any other small North American town. But yea, the people there are...quaint but odd. Once you get north of Barrie you see more and more conspiracy theorists. BUT it's still 100x better than most US cities right now. Grape posted:It seems to be way up in rural nowhere Ontario, so I'd guess pretty chuddy. Its about 4 hours north or Toronto which is not "way up there". Look at Ontario on the map and you'll see what I mean. Drimble Wedge posted:I'd call that central or (a term I loathe) "cottage country"; it's not really north north till North Bay. I love when people say they are going "up north" and they end up in or staying just outside Huntsville.

You made the point about compressions circulating blood though, i hadn't thought of that.

I am in the process of moving back in with my parents after having been out of their house for 20 years. Thanks Covid. They live on whats best described as a hobby farm, it produces nothing but the weed they smoke. I comment to my dad while working on his tractor "Yeah, me and brother are looking for work." He waves his arm about the place "I've got work all over this place if you want to work!" I clarify. "I need work that pays me." "Oh.. you want money, not work." After working on his tractor for 8 hours with him not taking any of my advice, my mom comes home with some random old people. like 5 of them in two trucks. Turns out my mom invited them to her house, because their grandparents in the 1940s owned the land and had our same last name. Bunch of black and white photos were hauled out. No relation to us that I know of, just share a name. No masks, of course. Just random people. Have a tour of the place that is 10 miles from the town. winterwerefox fucked around with this message at 07:42 on Jul 18, 2020 |

I had a friend going through EMT training and wanted me (licensed EMR) to give him a compression to "see what it felt like". So, once suitably buzzed, I agreed. I gave him like two or three solid compressions and he practically threw me off him. He had a nice fat bruise on his chest for a week or two, said it hurt to breathe for like a month. CPR ain't no joke man. On a more serious note, learn how to do CPR and carry a barrier so you don't have to kiss a random stranger in the course of saving their life.

911 dispatch quality largely depends on where you are. Some states and cities have adopted and instituted programs called emergency medical dispatch (emd) which is a statistically calculated response based on age gender and symptoms. If someone is unresponsive, not breathing, and has no signs of mouth obstruction or other obvious injury then uhh yeah start CPR and chest compressions, which they also give over the phone, even to someone with no experience with cpr at all. Everything is verbatim and graded according to sticking to the script without improv (because it's medical instructions) as well as correctly diagnosing the problem and processing the issue correctly. It's a good system.

I will say again check for signs of pulse before you start wailing on someones chest. It takes 10 seconds, and generally if you feel their heart beat in their wrist that means their heart is pumping well enough that you don't have to break several of their ribs. Of course "unresponsive" generally means pulseless, but it's something you have to check as quickly as you're calling out for help.

CPR ain't no joke man. You didn't do it right if you didn't break any ribs. I hadn't been to a CPR class in close to 20 years, and they would tell you that, but gently caress man, them telling you, and then actually doing it might as well be continents apart. It's something I hope that I never have to do again. Jokerpilled Drudge posted:You can totally stop someone's heart if you do CPR when they have a pulse. So good work on nearly killing your friend gently caress you! It's easy to judge when all you've had are hypotheticals. It's a whole different world when you see someone you care about collapse and start to turn purple. You do what you have to do, and if the 911 operator told me to perform a tracheostomy, I would have done it. Unless of course you were talking to the other poster I quoted, you can call him a dipshit for that.

I'm CPR certified and have been for many years, if put in a situation where I had perform actual CPR I have little doubt I'd gently caress it up...also the success rate for manual compression is very low, AED's are the biggest factory in saving someone who's gone into cardiac arrest...but saying something like you said to someone who was in an emergency and did the right thing...you're just a bastard.

So chalk up TV medicine to things Boomers like. Hey didya know that when a relative is undergoing CPR from a code team in the ICU and you see three security guards slowly enter the room, stand about 30 feet from you, it's probably because that relative is already dead or is about to be pronounced? My guess is some places require that now as part of a code in case family don't like the news and decide to get punchy.

Are most of the anti-maskers Boomers or Gen-X? It seems like a lot of the people who are stupid enough to let themselves get filmed throwing a fit are solidly Generation-X. Gen-X may be an improvement over our parents, but we're pretty lovely on vaccines and masks. It's like we want to die.

in my area its much more a regional thing than an age thing. in my part of LA everyone wears masks. go over to hermosa beach and no one is wearing them. boomers definitely seem to do the "chinstrap" fake mask thing more than anyone tho but yes the older half of gen x is definitely very susceptible to antimask/anivax conspiracy poo poo. those in the younger half who grew up on the internet to some extent, maybe less so Earwicker fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Jul 18, 2020 |
