i work in a fairly rural county in the midwest, sometimes i like to imagine the reaction some folks out here would have if they found out the EMT taking care of them is a 19yo socialist queer trans woman who, 20 minutes before treating them, was reading lesbian fan fic on ao3

A dat in a pathomorphologist’s life: _ Placenta moments after childbirth! The placenta is an organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy. This structure provides oxygen and nutrients to a growing baby and removes waste products from the baby's blood. The placenta attaches to the wall of the uterus, and the baby's umbilical cord arises from it. The organ is usually attached to the top, side, front or back of the uterus. In rare cases, the placenta might attach in the lower area of the uterus. When this happens, it's called a low-lying placenta (placenta previa). Usually, placenta delivery is quick, within about 5 minutes after the baby is delivered. But sometimes can take up to 60 mins. After childbirth, the uterus contracts, which pulls the placenta away from the wall of the uterus and pushes it out. 🧠Did you know that the placenta is also nicknamed the “tree of life”? This nickname is partly because its function is life-sustaining, but also because when looking at it, the veins do resemble a tree. #emergencymedicine #hospital #obstetrics #obgyn #placenta #childbirth #medicaleducation #ems #emt #paramedic #nursing #neverstoplearning https://www.instagram.com/p/CpfNyJmMYcm94-UP8j_cM__oSA3-Wyc41xJ9FA0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today looks like... EXCEPT I finished Psych & Soc last night. The last chapter was super annoying! 

Struggling because I feel like I can skip certain chapters, but I’m super paranoid that I will miss one tiny crucial detail that will help me get at least one more question right.

This is a case of an 80-year-old man with history of diabetes who presented with abdominal pain, fever, and leukocytosis. Ultrasound shows an ill-defined hyperechoic gallbladder wall, with "dirty shadowing" indicating air in the wall, compatible with emphysematous cholecystitis (EC). CT confirmed the diagnosis. EC typically occurs in elderly patients with underlying diabetes mellitus and affects men more commonly than women. This is a surgical emergency.

Who called for backup?! Best part of 2022 was graduating from the @BayArea_TrainingAcademy accelerated EMT program, and then on the verge of tears blowing my own mind and passing the NREMT in one go! I can only describe the learning as being a Cliftnote doctor, and having to pass all the tests with no medical background…phew, I haven’t studied that hard in decades! I am now a hired EMT in San Francisco in an effort to beautify our city and clean up the streets, helping with the OD’s and fentanyl crisis, the psych wards, 911 calls, Covid surges and assist our stressed out medical workers. Enough b*tching and NIMBism, more doing! 🤜🏾 Thank you to my sweet angel Laura Hedli @StageSynapses for her redunkulously massive heart, support, love, and patience. And as well as the words of encouragement from my SF Brothers, my cool and quite young classmates, BATA Professor and incredible human being Steve Albright, and dedicated CEO Nicky Bahr who all had my six through this wild summer. And a big thank you to my talent agencies for your amount of patience! #Frontlines #EMTlife #FirstResponder #EmergencyMedicine #CalFire #CovidResponse #ParamedicLife #EMSlife #SFbay #BayLove #YayArea #BayAreaTrainingAcademy #Covid19 #SFFD #SFFire #Firefighter https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm0jJU2uK0T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As I write this, it has been about 7 months since I was tossed into a roller coaster of very burst anal-glandy, bloody, accidental chocolate-y, screamy, sleep-deprivation-y world of emergency medicine.

My first two months was a roller coaster. Not only I felt the pressure and stress since I was the only vet at night dealing with emergencies, I also had to re-adjust my circadian rhythm to fit the odd working hours of 9pm to 9am. But below is a summary of my journey for the past year and a bit.

You never know what is going to walk through the door at any point in time. Thus, you can never truly be prepared. Compared to work in general practice; where you have scheduled, set consults daily, but in emergency medicine, it is a whole different ball game. Anything can walk through the door at any time; and especially with critical cases such as those struggling to breathe, collapsed, seizuring, etc, you'd have to act immediately, as it would make a difference between life or death. Most cases that come in are new clients to the clinic, thus there'd be no patient history to refer to. In addition, sometimes, more than one critical case would turn up at the same time, and being the only vet available, you'd have to prioritise your cases extremely well. This is where I'd point out the importance of having a great team of vet technicians and nurses. I am in fact, very lucky that I have been working with just the most skillful and hardworking techs and nurses. Because of an amazing team, we have been able to deal with multiple emergencies at the same time. For example, if a dog in respiratory distress has entered, the techs/nurses would immediately place that dog on oxygen support, while I deal with a cat with kidney failure that was seizuring. Multi-tasking is also one of the top skills that would be important in emergency medicine for obvious reasons!

The emotional turmoil of distressed clients. The animals that come in during emergency hours are usually critical (i.e. near the verge of death), and so of course, the pet parents themselves are usually worried sick. This is where the root cause of veterinary burnout usually begins, and it involves a combination of; unrealistic expectations from clients, clients in denial of their pet's critical state, clients unable to afford treatment and thus toss that 'if you really loved animals you'd do it for free' at you, some yelling, crying, sliding down walls. You'd need to have a stable enough mental state to allow space for these clients' emotions. On top of that, you'd need to shower them with empathy and kindness, and keep your own emotions buried underneath the surface. It can be hard to remember the strength of the human-animal bond, and how much these animals have impacted the lives of their owners. Working at odd hours did have an impact on my own mental state, thus I frequently had to check in with myself. The saddest cases I would say, are those that have life-threatening but potentially treatable conditions, but clients were not able to cover the costs involved.

Sleep deprivation Pretty self-explanatory with this point. All our bodies have a circadian rhythm, thus my week often tosses up between adjusting to keep awake at night and sleeping during the day, and vice-versa during my off nights. In complete honesty it was challenging when I first started, but it got easier to re-adjust as time went on. Plus, the adrenaline of emergencies coming in during odd periods of the night does help the brain to stay alert. My first few night shifts consisted of at least 3 cans of coffee and 1 energy drink per shift (I know, wasn't the best way to cope but I had no choice!). Thankfully I have achieved a point where I can survive the whole night without any of those! All in all, emergency medicine can be fun, as long as you prioritise your own health as much as you can, and learn, gain as much experience, as you go.

Sever Disease is calcaneal apophysitis, an overuse irritation of the cartilaginous spot where the Achilles tendon attaches to the calcaneus (heel bone). It is seen most often in active children 7-14 years old. Diagnosis is as simple as reproducing the pain by squeezing the heel. As long as the child can walk/play without limp, a padded heel cup is sufficient treatment. Labs and imaging are not required. However, if the pain causes the patient alter his/her gait, then s/he needs to sit out of the offending activity. IF there is swelling or mechanical disruption (catching, locking), then it's NOT Sever Disease, and you should look for another cause.

TL;DR: There is no need to SEVER the foot in Sever Disease; supportive care generally suffices.

Pro Tip: Sever Disease is to the ankle what Osgood-Schlatter Disease is to the quadriceps tendon and tibial tuberosity. An analogous upper extremity injury is proximal humeral epiphysiolysis aka Little League Shoulder. For an excellent breakdown, see Little League Shoulder.

Which businesses are the most stressful, and which are the least stressful?

Stress levels in businesses can vary based on factors like industry demands, job roles, and company culture. Here’s a general breakdown:

Most Stressful Businesses:

Healthcare: High-stakes choices, long hours, and emotional stress make this industry the most stressful. Emergency Services: Critical situations and high-stress settings. Finance: High responsibility, short deadlines, and market volatility. Law: Excessive caseloads, demanding clients, and stressful situations. Tech startups: high levels of unpredictability, long hours, and a fast-paced atmosphere.

Least Stressful Businesses:

Services for Libraries: Generally quiet workplace with set hours. Gardening and landscaping: Spend more time outside and avoid stressful situations. Bookkeeping: Standard duties with less urgency. Art and Craft Shops: Handcrafted items in a typically laid-back setting. Academic Research: Controlled environment with focus on research rather than immediate results.

Stress levels can vary widely even within these categories based on specific job roles and personal adaptability.
