40ish male patient decided to pull out an abscesses tooth with a pair of channel lock pliers instead of go to the dentist.... End up with a pocket of pus on his brain (forgot the name of it)

^^ totally agree with this post!!

WOW! I haven't seen this much stereotyping or generalizations of people in quite some time. This thread turned into a lot of bias, non-factual, crap... I'm an RN who loves working with my medics in...

I've never seen a 21g IV, is this a butterfly that's being taped down? And as others have said, no its not gonna blow the vein, the catheter size and vasculature itself will self-control how fast...

I got em, I love em, couldn't wear anything else now lol. I used to have the clog style now I have the Mary Jane looking ones. They last forever bc you can replace the coil anytime for $30 and...

I've worked at two facilities using completely different EMRs (emstat and epic), but both had a way to acknowledge on the chart when a pt was ready for xray after the order for one was placed, that...

Puncturing the vein would not cause allergic type symptoms, and just because an IV med is infusing in one arm, it does not mean a reaction is only limited to that arm. I had a CT scan with IV...

Unfortunately yes, people come in for way worse actually. Sometimes they call 911 just for a ride to the hospital and then expect us to give them a cab voucher to get the rest of the way to their...

I was working with this ED attending on a crazy busy night where we were all struggling to keep up with orders and trying to discharge pts to make room for more in the full waiting room. Well I had...

Way to go! Just for curiosity's sake, what was the situation? BeLLaRN

I'm betting its safe to assume you're a fellow michigander LOL, I worked downtown in the ER @ HF and agree that lineage are worst, especially the first Monday of the month when everyone gets their...

Wow!!! You've been in so many specialties that I can't even figure out what some of them are lol. Is CVRU cardiovascular rehab unit? What's EPS, PP, or ASU??? LOL

In the ER of my facility it was a big thing that if the pt presented to the ER w/any skin breakdown it must be documented on the ER chart prior to any admission or else the insurance wouldn't pay for...
