Two intubations, a subclavian line, a shoulder reduction, a wrist reduction, a STEMI, an acute stroke that got TPA'd, and a DKA'er... reminds me how much I love my job!
Doesn't compare to my night a few weeks ago where I had a ruptured ectopic, two status seizures (one of which was a post-partum eclamptic), a radial artery pseudoanerysm on the verge of rupturing, an epidural bleed, a high-grade SBO, a septic patient that got lined and tubed, and yet another respiratory distress that got tubed.
Days like that reminds me why I chose emergency medicine.
(FTW, one of the intubations (the one that got the subclavian line) had a serotonin syndrome from an SSRI and cocaine... core temp? 107. That's hot!)
