| Was there ever any doubt?? NO!!!
Congratulations, Ginny!!:yay:
One down and one to go! BTW, what are non-rebreathers?? |
An elongated vinyl mask designed for high oxygen concentration while low resistance exhalation valve allows exhaled gas to escape which is attached to a source of oxygen and applied to the patient  |
| Alright Ginny!!!!
Remember, you can usually eliminate 2 of the answers right off the bat and then you can reason out the other two. When in doubt, the answer is C and go with your first gut instinct and not overthink it! |
| Congratulations!!!!!!!
Nice to know at those sheepie picnics and play dates an EMT will be on standby! |

When in doubt, the answer is C and go with your first gut instinct and not overthink it! Can you BELIEVE....... last night we had to test out on 8 mandatory skills and one random. All the "left over" skills were thrown in a hat and you had to draw one, 9 out of 10 of us drew the Sager traction splint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE ONE skill I didn't want to have to do!!! We think they "stacked the deck"  |
| |
| Sager sucks!! Hare is much better and easier. That's the one skill I always end up having to teach! I always put the loudest, most obnoxious guy in the class in the splint for the demo person too!!!
The question is, did you pass the skill? |
| OF COURSE I DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do however refuse to ask the men that AWFUL question "which side do you dress on" ? Most absurd question I have ever heard!!!!!!!!!!! If they have a femur fx I seriously doubt that they will be especially concerned if their "bits and pieces" get a little pinched!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Might take their mind off the pain of the broken femur!!!! |
Tasker's Mom wrote: If they have a femur fx I seriously doubt that they will be especially concerned if their "bits and pieces" get a little pinched!!!!!!!!!!!! Apparently you are not a man, who would voluntarily break his other femur if it meant an end to the squeezing of his bits and pieces. Especially the bits. Or is it the pieces.
I suppose if you can't tell with a quick palpation, you/he mightn't have much to worry about. One other thought... what if the answer is the same side as the fracture? Do you get to address the dressing? |
Because the head of the Sagar traction splint (looks a little like the top of a crutch) gets RAMMED up th crotch and strapped tightly down  , I suppose one could "adjust" the bits and pieces for comfort if one were so inclined.............. From what I understand, the entire process is so horribly painful that bits and pieces are just another part of the fun |
Tasker's Mom wrote: Because the head of the Sagar traction splint (looks a little like the top of a crutch) gets RAMMED up th crotch and strapped tightly down Well, apparently it is excruciatingly painful for at least 1/2 of the men then. , I suppose one could "adjust" the bits and pieces for comfort if one were so inclined..............

The quick way to find the answer to that would be to start a poll on it, we have that technology. |
| HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OH GOSH and Ed isn't even around to join in the fun.......... OH ED WHERE ARE YOU?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? |

My stomach just lurched. 37 years ago I dropped out of a class because I was assigned the Sager traction splint demo........I couldn't bring myself to do it. Hell, strap their legs together and roll! |
| did they even have the Sager splint? Anyway, I got the femur fx demo.....now if I had been more bold I could have had a male model and really had some fun |
| HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! |
