Notice that the exam took FIVE HOURS to complete. Gives the saying "he
only had an 8th grade education" a whole new meaning, doesn't it?! Also
shows you how poor our education system has become... and, NO! I don't
have the answers, and I failed the 8th grade test!

So its about 430am this morning when my Pager goes off...
dispatched to a nursing home for an 80 year old woman Not Breathing and Pulseless.
When our first responders got there they said the nursing staff was doing CPR and ventilating(Bagging) with a Bag Valve Mask(BVM)
They took over compressions and ventilations.
When we(the ambulance crew) got there, we are led to the room and see a woman on a ventilator having CPR done c ventilations being performed.
so i open the jump kit to set up for an IV while the lead medic hooks her up to the EKG for a Quick Look. The monitor showed the patient was in Asystole(flatline) so they continued compressions and the Lead Medic asked the nursing staff about downtime and whatnot. (we coudlnt shock her because Asystole is not a shockable rhythm)

then he decides that since there are no changes to the EKG so its best to terminate efforts. Called the ER doc and got clearance to call the time of death.

I was so pissed, i would have done things differently. but unfortunately i was not in lead and there were a lot of people on scene so i didnt want to cause a conflict.

first of all that woman was on a respirator, and the FR was bagging her through her mouth...she should have hooked the BVM up to the trach to get adequate ventilations... we should have intubated.
AHA standards for treating asystole are...Intubate..start IV...continue CPR.. and look for possible reversible causes...
i can think of several.
For one she was not being ventilated properly. and Hypoxia is a reversible cause of asystole. she should have been intubated.
another thing i could think of was, she was a dialysis patient. they could have pulled too much fluid off her.
we should have started the IV and given her a fluid bolus. since dehydration is another reversible cause of asystole.
she could have been experiencing Metabolic Alkalosis since they may have pulled to much off...proper ventilation would solve that.
or she could have been in Metabolic Acidosis if they didnt pull enough off and it was a long down time we could have pushed 1mEq/Kg of Sodium Bicarbonate(in the IV that should have been started) to reverse that.
She was a bedridden person so that is one of the causes of PE(Pulmonary Embolism)...PE is a cause of asystole..Ventilation may have helped that a little(but we will never know).
Not to mention the fact the first responder was doing compressions between the nipples and not where they were supposed to be performed.

That was a joke. i think the lead was just "going through the motions" and chances are 99% that if we did everything i said...she would still be dead...but at least we would have given her a fighting chance...which is our job.

i just wish i would have stepped up and taken control of the situation. fuck any conflict. but i just dont think anyone would listen...after all i am ONLY a student.

fuckity fuck

all i know is i will make 10X a better paramedic than said Lead Medic

im done venting now
Thomas

comments bitches, comments..hehe

Sooo....
its been a while since I have updated.
A lot has happend but I really dont feel the need to write a whole damn novel.
The biggest news I have is that I am gonna be moving. I filled the App out and had my Aunt cosign and im sending it to tommy tommorow. I had my aunt cosign cause she owns a business and has like the best credit out of all my family members...so i figured she was my safest bet.

My Final exam for my paramedic class is Tuesday. Im nervous. I still have a lot of clinicals to do before i am eligible for the National Registry test. I recently found out I wont be able to transfer to an Austin walmart because there are no accounting openings. So I plan on going up to austin some time this month to find an EMT job and to look at the new place methinks.

Im thinking at the pace i am going i will not be able to take my Paramedic certification exam until after i move to Austin. I will not be able to move until after i am done with my clinicals. That shouldnt be a problem with when i want to move but i still wont be able to schedule an exam until after im already living there. That scares me. That means i am going to be out of school for a long time... a long time to remember all the shit that is on that exam. Compounding my fear is the 20% initial pass-rate statistic for Advance Practice EMTs. ugh. this shit sucks

anywho i think im done.

Does anyone still read this?

Hi Tommy

-Thomas

So its been a while since my last entry....a lot has happened since then.
Of course im in the Paramedic class i was speaking of, otherwise i would be living in austin by now:P

Another week and class will be 1/2 way done..and i still have an A average! WooHoo!. so Im allowed to start IVs, Intubate, Give meds and all that fun stuff..i like it...its really hard though...a lot of shit to remember.

I still work in accouting at walmart, i was offered a spot in the management training comming up in may but i dont think ill take it...walmart is my job, not my career.

During the class i was also offered a job at Port A...(Port Aransas) EMS.....that job would be pretty cool since a shit load of people go there for spring break and shit, but i turned it down too....i dont really like the idea of having to wear a bullet-proof vest while on duty...ill stay in uneventful lil rockport thank you:)....plus im too lazy to drive the whole...20 minutes to Port A lol.

So my Move date is scheduled for September 1st of this year(Not set in stone... just hard clay:P)
that would be like 3 days before my birthday.

Well im off, i have some patient reports to finish...then i have to study for a pharmacology test tomorrow....fun!....not

Just wanted to let y'all know im still alive and kicking :)

Comments Bitches! (hah havent said that in a while...prolly usless since everyones forgotten about my lj by now anyways lol)

anywho...Bye
Thomas

well howdy,
life has been good...
my latest raise was effective today at work....and this week i am getting 3 hours of OverTime...so my next check should be good...i like my job:)

Wednesday is comming up and i still have that Paramedic entrance exam and interview....im nervous:P

im kinda at a loss of words right now i dont know what to talk about...just wanted to let you all know im still alive...ill give a better update some other day, until then...

laters,
Thomas

WOW! What a suprise! You're an "Elite
Queer." Everyone knows you, you're
beautiful, always in style, mommy and daddy buy
you everything, And the most popular in the gay
scene


What kind of queer are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

ok first of all....Hey Everyone...Long time no see:P

ok now with that said.
i have news....and i dont know what to think of it.
so that guy i mentioned in my last entry: Josh....
yeah well we have talked on the phone multiple times each day since i left last week....and now i think what i feel for him is more than a physical attraction or "just friends"
:-/

kinda good...cause i like that feeling...and he said he feels the same way ...yay..:P
but really bad...cause i live in fucking Rockport! and dont plan on actually taking up residence in Austin until late July/early August sometime..

My next day off is Wednesday...and im going up there to spend the morning with him....
i like to live in the moment...but i cant fucking help but think about what this is gonna mean if this goes on...
i cant fucking drive to austin every two weeks....i need to save money so i can move there....
but with that said.....the drive seems soooo worth it the moment i see him when i get there...

i feel like a fucking schoolgirl with a crush....im such a dork:P

i have a thought on the whole Paramedic class i am taking and how it factors into this situation...but i wont say it for a few weeks until i see what happens....otherwise ill jinx it and sound like a dumbass...

anyways just had to update yall....

With Love,
Thomas


btw...TK...
wouldnt it be weird if i did start dating this guy...

Thomas and Josh(me and him)....and then there is Thomas and Josh(y'all) lol....just a weird thought:)

Well i went to Austin again....Sunday night after work...very spontaneous..

I got in town about 8AM went straight to my friend Josh's house.....hrmm...we had sex until like noon...it was great...
so much for celibacy:P
then we went and ate...then we hung out around town till like 3s-something...
prolly the first time i spent that much time with someone after having sex with them lol
...
then i went to dinner with my brother and his GF....
i didnt do much the one day i was in town...
on my way home i got in a wreck cause my tires lost grip on a curve....no major damage...still drivable...

then my Tire popped in Cuero and i didnt have a spare...took forever to get my tires changed cause no one had my size and one of the dealers had to drive to another town to get a set
...
then a wreck down the street cause a power outage so they wouldnt be able to balance my tires...but at that point the power came back on and i got them balanced and i went on my merry way....3 hours behind schedule...
...
then i got home and went to work....

thats my last two days in a nutshell im going to bed now....just had to make a tiny update:P


Love to all,
Thomas


COMMENTS bitches:P

Ohhh....btw....TK it wasnt your Josh i was talking about:P lol...coincidence:)

Ask me 6 questions...any 6, no matter how personal, private, or random.

I will answer them. In return, you have to post this message in your own journal and answer the questions that are asked of you.

well its been a while since i updated....you wont believe its...its fucking snowing in Rockport Texas...on the south texas coast.....the last time its snowed down here was 30 years ago and it didnt even hit the ground before it melted....the weatherman says this is like the "first time in history"...its funny cause i seem to be the only one that isnt all excited and outside making snowmen....i see snow every year when i visit family out of state and right now i am enjoying the warmth of the inside of my house....

anyways not much has happend recently.

biggest news was i went up to Austin last week.....
Sunday night i got off work at 1 am...drove to austin at about 3 and got there about 6.....drove around met some friends and did lunch...came home took a nap and then went to Sidekicks to meet Jason and TK for the first time in person.
Jason your NOT fat, freak!:P also got to meet jason's man....boy lol jk
i was sooo happy to finally get to meet all of them, and TK's other half is not only as hot as TK said, hes a sweetie...im glad he found a good one.
met a few other people too..
Sam, TKs old DJ....Yum.
David.....Damn!...id so hit it...maybe even twice? hehe

Nicole, Ana, etc. etc.....met a lot of other people they were all awesome.....
it just sucked i had to leave so damn soon....i plan on going back soon....
being there made me realize how much i want to move out of this fuckin town

TK i think you should still write in your LJ....just do what i said you should do...so you-know-who doesnt go all crazy/stalker-like
....and another thing, reading your LJ you mentioned your Ceremony with Josh.....well it prolly wont happen before i move there....but if it does...i better be invited fucker.....or i may just have to crash a party;) heh jk....sorta:P

well thats all i got....
methinks sleep its appropriate.
Good Night.

I love you all!

Thomas

Well today was my day off. Isnt it bad whenever you have never had a day off in which you dont go to work?
lol thats how i am. even if i am off i will find a reason to go to wal-mart to say hi to my friends or whatever. heh yesterday i wasnt to walmart to buy cigarettes and i ended up playing CSM while the only CSM went on break. i didnt even clock in...mostly cause management prolly wouldnt let me since its my day off. so when i had my evalutaion yesterday i just put an extra 15 minutes on my time-adjustment form.
Evaluation went well..got a 40 cent raise. I now make 7.30, which is okay considering i have worked there a month and now make more than a few that have been there a year or more:P
i really like work.

Today was pretty uneventful. woke up at noon when a friend called. he wanted me to go with him to Kingsville to his ex-bf's house to pick up his cat, so we did. 3 hours on the road. wasnt bad, beats the hell out of staying at home being bored, plus he fed me for free, Taco Bell...Yum! lol

When i got home my mother said i got a package in the mail. it was 6 EMT patches i ordered(since the organization i volunteer with is out of them for now). so now i have new patches....which hopefully i will only have to wear for 8 more months....then hopefully ill be wearing the Paramedic patch...WooHoo!

Saving money is still sooo hard for me...even though i have a full-time job, a raise, and i wont be moving till august....i still dont think i will be able to save up the 5000 dollars i wanted. damn bills! well its the bills....and my ridiculous spending habits:P oops
i still say a prayer everynight before i go to bed: "god let me win the lottery.....or find a hot rich man" hehe jk about the last part....im not a "user":P

hrmmm not sure what else to write.
im trying to update more often but i really dont have much going on...just work and volunteering with EMS...so not much to really update about
i also just want to let all you know im still alive:P

"Hi" to everyone who reads this....last time i actually mentioned names....someone i didnt even know that read this got offend that i didnt mention her in my shoutouts...lol
so...
Love to everyone:)

im updating less and less now.....for some reason when you sit in front of a computer for 8 hours punching in numbers and counting money.....comming home at 2am and getting back in front of a computer doesnt seem to appealing....
Ironically though....last night i bought a new computer LOL
it was on sale...and i had a 20% discount bonus thing....so i got it for real cheap for as good as it is....and since my current computer is a POS that needs to be rebooted every 5 minutes...i figure its a good investment with college comming up and whatnot.

hrmmm what else....

work is good....i really like it
at first i wasnt sure if i would like working in a secluded office for 8 hours....but i dont mind it...in fact i think i enjoy this job more than i have any other.
plus i can dress up cause its not a job that will get me dirty...i like dressing up:)
also another plus: i get to hand out pink-slips to people that USED to be my bosses....WooHoo!...now that shit is the greatest....that and the pay increase of course:P

okay im tired i think im gonna go now i have some other thoughts on my mind i want to write about....but id rather sleep now...so i think ill share those thoughts later:P

Good Night,
Thomas

Love to all=)

You Are the Loyalist

6 You have strong relationships and are intensely loyal. People find you easy to love and care for. You like your world to be stable and secure, no surprises. You're cautious. You prefer your inner circle to the outside world.

Tonight I officially started my new job in the Accounting Office.
I thought it would be easier than any other job I had cause it is a desk job that doesnt require manual labor.
but omg....its HARDER....mentally exhausting
but i LOVE it! it is sooo awesome...plus since its a Promotion and not just a "tansfer"...im higher on the chain of command and i get to write people up...which i thought would be cool....until tonight i had to give a friend of mine(who is a cashier) a pink slip...i felt bad...but oh well, had to do it.
man....i have handled more money tonight than I will ever make in the next 5 years. well over 200,000 dollars..
thats a lot of money, and a lot of responsibility. but i like being given responsibility, makes me feel important:P

anyways thats basically my update: Started the promotion, its harder than i thought, but i love it.

love you all,

Thomas

Good News.

Well I told you how I was offered the Promotion to work in the Accounting Office. Well since that time 3 other people applied for the same spot so it was now between me and 3 others as to whom would get the job. I was almost sure I would not get it. One of the other people who applied has worked for the company for 15 years and is a Department manager. I have only worked there for a month and a week and the guidelines require you to work for the company for 6 months before being allowed to work in accounting.
Well I guess I have really impressed the managers cause the made an exception and chose me!
That’s right I got the promotion! WooHoo! Go me!
Its kinda funny cause after the interview one of the managers told me that they had already chose me for the spot, they just technically still had to interview me. Heh this was a real self-esteem booster…..I mean I have worked there less than 2 months and am a Sales Associate, and I beat a Dept. Manager who has been here 15 years…..im happyJ

I still have that date tomorrow night….I wonder how that is gonna go…..im actually kinda nervous cause I don’t know what the hell to do on a date……I mean like I said….I Don’t Date lol


Anyways just had to update you on the good news.

Comments Bitches! J

Thomas

ok i have some interesting news...
guess what i am going to be doing on saturday night...lol
i...thats right me, thomas, i have a date...a Date! haha
and not like a "he pays for the condom and lube" "date"....but an actuall like "he pays for the dinner and movie" or whatever ...date

haha for those of you that know me you understand why i act like this is a big deal..
for those of you that dont know me let me explain...
Thomas doesnt do "dates"
Thomas doesnt do "boyfriends"
Thomas's idea of a Long-Term Relationship is when the guy stays the night after we fuck.


This is gonna be weird...when its just sex i know what to do haha...but now i am actually gonna have to talk with the guy.

This should be interesting. Ill Update you after the fact with all the juicy details haha

Shoutouts to all you stupid-fucks that dont talk to me anymore! hehe jk jk

~Tommy~

Okay....so i guess i should update.

work has been going good....for about two days i was hating the job..but that was just a "mood" i guess cause im back to liking it.

The Manager offered me a Job in the Cash/Accounting Office...which is cool....more money and the hours are hours i would like: 6pm-3am
Plus if i take that position i will still be able to work while taking my paramedic class in the day...but id only work like 3 or 4 days a week though

I have a new hobby...i now collect Cologne....haha Cologne and Perfume companies send us(wal-mart) Testers and we dont need a lot of them..or a lot of them are overstock. so the employees can buy them for a dollar lol....so i got a 30 dollar bottle for 1 dollar....quite a deal...so now i have 16 bottles of cologne....some i have never even heard of...and i really only use like 2 of the bottles....but like i said.....im collecting them, not using them lol

uhmmm what else?...hrmm

oh i got a manicure today...felt good...my nails look purty now=)

and....i think thats about all i got to say

Shoutouts to all the friends, love you all!!!!!(even those of you that dont like eachother anymore:P)

well im updating cause TK wanted me to and cause i think i should so everyone knows im alive...
ive been procrastinating updating cause i really havent had anything worth writing about happen lately....

ive been working a lot lately..actually only about 40 hours a week. but my shifts are pretty much set up so i can sleep in just a little, wake up and go to work, then when i get off its too late to do anything...so working is pretty much all i have done. that and work on the ambulance on my days off.

Sunday after work i was on call with EMS and it was pretty slow, although as i was leaving work i got paged to a pretty serious call. A 68 yo man overdosed on a whole bottle of Xanex. When the abulance got there he wasnt breathing and didnt have a pulse. We did CPR and defibrilated and got a pulse back but still had to intubate him and manually breath for him. Considering the fact that his down-time was probably more than 5 minutes he most likely has permanent brain damage and will die. we will see.

thats the most interesting thing that has happend lately.

I think im gonna go and get my Oil Changed today...maybe

i dont really know what else to write. so i guess this is it.
bye bye

Shoutouts to all
