Helpful hint for the day

We got called to the er stat. Coming in code 3 was a 20ish male.
That's all we were told.

Next update; GI bleed. Eeewww! 20 yrs old?!?! Wow!!!

Next update; not intubated, so we set up to intubate.

Paramedics bring in a 50-something male. Posturing. She says she is
having a hard time bagging. We transfer him over, he is wet, arms
stiff across his chest while we hear the real story.

57/m working on some electrical unit at a gas station. Found down in
a PUDDLE OF WATER. They got to him and was vomiting dark, like a GI
bleed. They also said he was acting like a head bleed.

After a ton of succs and etomidate, he is intubated, stabalized and
off to CT scan.

So, todays helpful hint is...

Water & electricity don't mix!!
