[@AB-my5il]

As an ER nurse my mind goes "calcium first but in a minibag on microdrip bc I am absolutely not standing there to IVP this med, hit em with the D50, 10 of IV insulin fuck I need to find another nurse for dual sign off nvm here drink this Lokelma while I find another nurse." Gets distracted finding another nurse but remembers to get the bedside commode for the inevitable shit storm after the Lokelma/Kayexalate.

[@alyssah3087]

@Weather WX The cath lab (the lady thay he talked to) didn't think the initial signs of a heart attack on the EKG (the t wave inversion) were actually due to a current heart attack (there can be other causes including an old heart attack), until the very obvious, defining signs of a heart attack showed up in the EKG, but by that time there was probably an elective cath lab case on the table so people are scrambling to get the patient having a heart attack to a cath lab to remove the clot within the 90 minutes window required for better patient outcome. Hospitals also report on how they are doing following these guidelines.

They actually choose thier own areas of practice. I guess certain personality just fit certain fields better.

[@irresponse]

It's the opposite, some personalities or disorders types are more attracted to some areas and end up in there because one thing attracts the other, like Emergency Medicine and ADHD or Surgery and Psychopathy.

[@Baraa.K.Mohammad]

@@irresponse You are absolutely right... But then I start to think that's it's neither personalities aligning with certain specialities nor an inherent psych/mental variant sorting doctors into said specialties... Sometimes I think it's a specialty environment that nurtures an already existing tendency within any individual (although to varying degrees). A cycle that started since medicine existed and different fields emerged and archetypes were chiseled into each clinical practice...

[@FarewellChorus]

@@mrbeanieboy2752 The Croc specialist doesn't have vents on top, so the only way fluid gets in is from standing in/walking through a deep puddle, or pouring and entire bucket at once. At that point, I'd be changing socks and washing out my clogs, and I expect it'd be a similar story for anybody who wasn't running around in rubber boots (incidentally, I did see several ED staff wearing cowboy boots). And if they do get ruined, they're 1/3 the cost of the Dansko clogs. At $16.50 an hour (in a state where In-N-Out paid $20), I was trying to make every dollar count. At the end of the day, the important thing is that you find something which works for you. I'm not going to tell you your Danskos don't work for you, and I can say that Crocs worked for me and most of the other transporters. Also, we were sleeping on copper compression socks for a long time.
