The PVC Challenge Round 2
We did pediatric intubations today! I hope that I never have to do one in real life, but I know the day will come where I will have a SIDS call. :( I don't think I've met a Paramedic who has been a Paramedic for more than a year who has not had one. It happens. It sucks too. I'm so thankful that I never got one. But, i'm sure my day will come where my partner and I will get toned out for the "baby not breathing" call. Anyways....I got all my tubes today!!!! I didn't miss one!!!! :-D We also did nasal and digital intubation. I found digital intubation to be extremely easy with the exception of the dummy's teeth scraping my knuckle. And yes, I was a good little student and was wearing my proper BSI. ;-) Oh well. I'll be ok. Just a flesh wound. ;-) All in all...I've had a fantastic week at school! It's a lot of fun and i'm learning a lot!!! I love it!!!! It was a very long day today, I'm beyond exhausted. I got a B on my test. :-( Oh well, I brought it on myself, I should've studied more. I'll do better next time. :-)
