Cough CPR

[chiles]

Totally off topic but I once had a friend who was a volunteer EMT-P. He did one of those "bite the needle cap off" methods. Sadly, it was filled with epi and a drop hit his tongue. He woke up a bit later and had learned a valuable lesson on the proper way to remove a needle cap.

Couldn't watch the first season of "ER".  Would pace the floor in front of the TV yelling orders!  (No joke, my wife will attest.)

My favorite from "ER" was no one stabilizes the endotrachial tubes after a patient is intubated (breathing tube down the throat) -- just flings around in the breeze!

They did get one thing right -- all the female EKG techs were always hotties on the show, dressed up to meet their doctor husband ...

I didn't watch ER too much, but when I did, and they were dropping a tube on someone, I never ever remember the docs ordering RSI drugs.

Every time I watch those shows, I usually end up yelling at the TV at least once. My girlfriend doesn't let me watch them anymore.

But, if you watch Trauma: Life in the ER on Discovery Health, every now and then you see my hospital

Well....if you coughed hard enough to knock loose the occlusion.....


Great, more morons are going to walk (or roll) into my ER with CP x2 days, and tell us they've been coughing to try and make it go away. Forget nitro, forget baby asprin, forget plavix, just cough!
