Not that anyone asked: If you or a loved one are on a few meds (including vitamins and over-the-counter stuff), you might want to type up a list of them (preferably with dosages, and maybe the name & phone number of the pharmacy and/or prescribing doc) and print it out. Have the person's name and date of birth on the list (plus anything else that seems pertinent, such as diabetes or immunocompromise), and keep it updated. If you can remember to grab the list before you go to an ER, or give it to the ambulance crew, it can save a lot of time .
Yes - Paramedics and nurses are always surprised and happy when they ask if I’m on any medications and I hand them a piece of paper with all my information- including name, date of birth, all other necessary numbers, medical conditions and medications (drug name and brand)
The full moon thing applies with teachers and students too. My best friend is an elementary school teacher, and she dreads the full moon, Every Month. She swears that it makes the students act extra insane. Honestly, I believe her, and anybody that says the same. Idk what it is, but there is definitely a correlation.
I have a bit of a theory (a space theory!!) about that: the moons gravity effects our tides right? So it clearly controls water to some degree. What if people going crazy at the full moon is the moon affect the blood flow to our brains?
“As for the piece that fell off, you can take it with you, throw it away, or give it to me so I can add it to my home collection” Me: * slowly looks up from what I was doing *
Though I do have to say, as someone named Tracey, I always show up to work. Full moon or not. Those are usually the most "interesting" nights to say the least
As a Provider in an Inpatient psychiatric crisis unit, it gets stupid busy! All beds full, patients acting and/or mentally triggering other patients to act out! I’ve been in the field for 37 years and it never fails. When I taught college and got to some “myths”, one was “the full moon does not increase the likelihood of more patients having crisis episodes.” I laughed and told the students to not believe it!😂

1:00 when my sister was 5 she sliced the first knuckle of her middle finger off from a mcdonald’s door. thankfully it was literally hanging on by a thread so they were able to reattach it. they didn’t expect her nail to grow back but it did, just a little deformed with the rest of her fingertip. trauma
7:12 I went to a trauma room after getting hit by a car as a pedestrian. They destroyed my jeans, but they totally missed that my leg was fractured. It took years before I found out why my shin was all lumpy. Oh, and they also charged me a couple thousand dollars for my useless visit, because somehow the lady who ran the stop sign wasn't at fault.
lol when you were talking about adding saline to the body for low blood pressure I was actually getting ready to Google what saline even is… funny how you explained it in the TFTER immediately following lol
I can absolutely back up the effects of full moon 🌕 not only as an EMT now but when I used to be a teacher. The kids would lose their minds the whole week. 🤯
I wake up super early for work and when I see that full moon shining brightly I feel like pulling a “Tracy” and calling out sick because 10/10 times there’s gonna be about six emergency surgeries, 80 cases in the OR, and 10 of those cases are gonna be COVID ones
As a Nurse from a long term nursing home, the comment about full moon applies no matter what scientists try to tell us. It is a fact that any animal trainer will also endorse. Apparently it has been proposed that the changes in moon pull not only affects the oceans causing large tide fluctuations it also affects the brains in humans and other animals
The knocking machine is MRI, the CT is more of a whirling sound. Both use contrast. MRI uses gadolinium, and CT uses iodinated contrast (there are different ones, it depends on which one your hospital uses). I've been told it's because it's a vaso-dilator. It's kind of similar to how alcohol makes you feel warmer.
I have contrast dye given in an IV before my brain MRA/MRIs and I can confirm it feels exactly like you’re peeing your pants-even though you aren’t. I get MRAs (using an MRI to look at blood vessels- in my case in my brain) to see if my aneurysm is about to kill me 2-4x per year. In the ER, they’ll often use a CT but the result is the same regardless of machine - it still feels like you’re involuntarily pissing yourself. I find myself thinking that my insurance won’t cover $5 million for a new CT machine if I am in fact dousing everything in the yellow rapids of doom because that’s what it feels like. TL;DR: Contrast dye is uncomfortable but not painful. If the MRI/RadiologyTech is super attractive however, you might end up with some psychological scarring. Let me explain: As you silently pray that you aren’t ACTUALLY ruining their shoes by unleashing Niagara Falls from your loins to where it begins to fill the room like a goddamn horror movie, you keep trying to make sure you aren’t soiling yourself, but it’s impossible because you’re strapped to a table and have to stay completely still so as not to ruin the scan. I promise you will experience an indescribable level of stress and anxiety SO HIGH that it should have its own subtype of PTSD….PeeTSD….I’ve said too much.
Yup had my first ever ct scan a week ago. Ngl I gave the technician a terrified facial expression because it reminded me of a mri machine 😅 And in the hospital i went to it was down the hall from the er
Thanks for clearing up the no eating in the er those people are so stupid. They are vomiting then their eating what the hell. Keep up the great videos!!!
Irrigation made me crack up! I am allergic to the tetanus vax, so if i cut myself hard, im getting an iodine scrub! Its essentially a sterile nail brush, a bottle of iodine, and they go to town! Its great fun, i highly recommend it! 😂😂😂
The head start my son was at when he was four also said the full moons were like armageddon. I recall one full moon going to pick my son up from the Head start and there was a line of parents out the office holding pink slips from their children that had gotten in trouble that day it was hilariously sad. I've always wondered why so much havoc happens during a full moon
I was born on St Patricks day to a red headed Irishman (other 1/2 is Italian, I know oh do I know ) I had ice green eyes since birth so I was named after a color.. Oh the stories, I was an EMT back when our knees were the end of our careers (getting a new one soon) Our job keep you alive till we pass you off to the ER (you guys are amazing)
For 4:31 (open flesh wound) I had one and I still do have one still healing itself. I didn’t end up going to the ER. What happened as I was on my bike for no reason cause like why not go on a bike ride, and there was this bumpy wall, and I accidentally smacked against it and a blob of my finger just came off…. But now I’m healing and it’s a lot better.
One time I went to the ER bc I broke my head leg and also I had an infection in the bone in my foot and it could have killed me. I have barely any memory of that ER visit tho bc I was like 5 when it happened. I have a scar on my foot from it. Thank god, I am ok now.
LMAO there was an episode of 9-1-1 that explained the meanin of the full mood and how it is for first responders and medical staff, one incident was a drunk cannibal, everyone thought he was on bath salts and he took 3 bullets to actually go down
Again, all the tips sound real solid. I didn't know the percentage of salt in saline. And I didn't know they used pliers to break the end of the bone in your finger. But I do know you won't be able to pick your nose with that finger again.
You mention the Irish Car Bomb. That's a somewhat touchy drink name on our side of the pond, and one that has sent people to the hospital when someone has taken it the wrong way. Definitely not a drink to order on the right hand side of the Atlantic.

Great advice! I always thank my patients who hand me a written record like this. Saves everyone time and potential mistakes.

As a nurse I can say,, there's always a little truth behind every story. He probably just changed the name.

I second that!! LOLOL They need an extra recess ALL DAY LONG!! LOL , but it's rather entertaining to be a part of.
Anybody who works with the public can tell you it's true. The crazies come out with the full moon.

Why does contrast make you feel hot? I had to get an X-ray or whatever that knocking machine is called for them to get a better picture of my heart.
Probably a mri
If you had contrast it’s most likely a CT
