love that my pre-calc teacher keeps referring to the founding mathematicians we’re learning about as our “great-great-grand professors”.

Now that I’m at a job where “safety naps” are encouraged Im realizing how silly&unsafe it was for my prev EMS gig to write u up/threaten to fire u if u got caught napping b/w calls. I know, it’s a PR thing, but maybe posting on a street corner for 16 hrs is the issue, not naps?🫶.

I for one am looking forwards to improvising volume resuscitation with a continually rotating bevy of weird fluids. what do we have today? plasmalyte? one third normal saline with phos? 5% albumin? hetastarch? gelofusine? 23% saline drizzled over D5W? LFG.

Never fully grasped the phrase. “if you’ve seen one ems system you’ve seen ONE ems system” . until moving NYC->CA & having to get accredited in 5+ counties in order to work out of ONE hems base location. I get the diff needs for rural vs urban but wow are we a disjointed bunch 🤡
