I am an EMT here in NYS and have found this website very informative for treating and diagnosing some simple injuries that have happened in my different UE escapades...

And please, use this information at your own risk. You are NOT A DOCTOR.

| | | | Yeah.....Well we do it a bit differently. Drink another beer and it'll grow back. One time I knew I hurt my foot when I dropped a manhole on it but it didn't hurt that bad. I lost the nail and my entire boot was filled with blood, but the sock absorbed most of it. In a few years my toe should grow back. Blah...blah....own risk....something....you are not a Beer Commando.

| | | | I just did a little self-surgery today... Here is the story:
I recently found out that they were tearing down one of my favorite UE locations from when I was younger, an abandoned oil-refinery turned engineering firm turned chop-shop.
On Sunday I went to explore her for the last time, and figured I'd fool around a bit with the old car equipment first. I was using a heavy-duty car jack (the kind that lifts up an entire side of the car using two huge arms). I lifted myself up and proceeded to do something incredibly stupid.
The jack pivots all of the weight load on one metal joint, which moves as it raises and lowers. I was lifted about 12" off of the ground when it shifted, sending a metal ram down onto my finger resulting in the immediate loss of feeling to that digit.
Two days later it looked like this:
Note the swelling and bruising...
I finally had had enough. I sterilized a brand-new razor blade, and cleaned the wound site. I made an incision about 1/4" long into the back of my nail, so that I could lift the back of the nailbed up. As soon as my makeshift-scalpel sunk beneath the skin, a deep, rich-colored blood began oozing out among lots of tiny air bubbles. My finger decreased to about 1/3 of its previous size in aroung 5 seconds. It was the greatest feeling ever.
Here is what it looked like afterwards:

| | | | When I go UE'ing I like to carry a small first aid kit that contains the following:
1 CPR Facemask/shield
10 4"x4" Guaze
5 5"x9" Guaze
2 Rolls of "Transpore" tape
2 One-time use icepacks
5 Antibacterial wipes (alcohol pads)
10+ Multiple size band-aids
1 Pair trauma sheers
4 Rolls of "cling" rap, various sizes
1 Cell phone to call emergency number
These are just a few of the basics I would reccomend putting together. They fit in a relatively small package and are there whenever you need them.

That is an excellent F/A kit for UE'ing. Maybe throw in a tube of antibiotic ointment (i.e. Bacitracin or Triple Antibiotic ointment) from the local pharmacy/department store as well as a few tabs of a mild analgesic (i.e. Aspiran, Tylenol, Motrin, etc.). You definitely covered the basics though. I'm also impressed with the CPR mask which must people forget.

Well thank you Lumen...
And in regards to the CPR mask:
I am a strong advocate of CPR, it really does work. I challenge everyone who reads this (that means you!) to get certified, and know how to perform something so simple yet so affective.

(This may only be relevant for drainers who can find themselves damaged in less than savoury wet environments!). Mmmm.... sewer fresh!

Well what I like to do is use a little electrical tape, but duct tape works just as good.
What I suggest that is even better is to bandage it properly with gauze, and then cover it with duct tape to keep shit out of it. Just please make sure that you don't keep it on for more than a few hours to minimize infection and grossness

I am an EMT |
*eh-hem* O RLY?
Where's your card, then, Mr. birthday-in-July boy?
| CPR, it really does work. |
I AM a NREMT, and yeah, it sure does. Thing is, though, you don't want to tell people who AREN'T certified to do it. Because they're going to kill somebody. We see people all the time who are actually certified (you know, the Red Cross class where the little old lady teaches you on a dummy?), and are trying to do CPR incorrectly or on a person who is still BREATHING.
And if you ARE CPR-certified and need to do CPR, but don't have a mask ... for GOD'S SAKE, don't do the rescue breaths! 9/10 times, most people who don't do CPR regularly end up causing gastric distension in the abdomen. This means they're eventually going to puke in your mouth.
"What's a little puke in my mouth if they're getting air?" They're not actually getting air, because you're blowing it into their belly. You're just giving them gas and causing acid reflux.
So most people are better off just doing the chest compressions. As fast as you freaking can.
Matter of fact, word on the street is that they're going to change CPR pretty soon here to JUST chest compressions (at least the CPR they teach to people who aren't healthcare providers), because they're so vital, and so many people don't do the rescue breathing effectively, anyway ...
And RochesterUE, I can't believe you did surgery on yourself. I'm glad it turned out okay ;)
Sorry, I probably forgot my <sarcasm> tags. |

Okay Emma, so technically I am not an EMT, but I do play one on TV.
But really, I've been a "Second-Medic" for two years, and have about 250 calls under my belt, with about the last 100 being ran by me with a certified EMT-P looking over my shoulder.
So technically am I an EMT? No.
But do I have more expierience then most basic EMT's in my area? Yes.
And Emma, about the surgery thing... Its healing up great! You just let me know when you need something done, and I'll do it for 1/2 the price!
Haha
