Sure beats babysitting drunks while you try to get their BAC below .30 We always got stuck with that job.Oh, we still do. Had a 16 year old girl with a BAC of .269 tonight. And she was still breathing on her own. Can you say "tolerance?" I knew that you could.

Good job on that patient!
I can't tell you how many patients I have had that convert on their own (from afib to sinus) as soon as we tell them they are scheduled to be cardioverted....
They especially love when I tell them "you've converted" and it always sounds like a religious experience (haha)
Technology is a wonderful thing...when it's working.... But great team work is priceless :)

Pretty good for 16. We always got the winos. "You two teen white boys go entertain the black wino in 203 so he doesn't pull out his IV's". I learned a LOT of new words like that.
