I was pretty timid doing it to a pig (I didn't want to hurt him). I hope that when it's "GO" time, I'm able to perform. Of course FINDING a thoracotomy tray in our ED would be a miracle...we couldn't even find umbilical clamps the other day.Shazam!http://www.blogger.com/profile/04827047654121721221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22584268.post-46905304324070731272007-04-27T15:48:00.000-07:002007-04-27T15:48:00.000-07:00I actually saw once just the opposite of this, a military accident, a falling bullet hit the guy in the leg, went into the saphenous vein, was later found in the heart.

They are both sent to the ER in very critical condition, requiring immediate life-saving treatment. There is only one ER doc. Which one does the ER doc save first?<BR/><BR/>The answer?<BR/><BR/>Why, the cop, of course. Because the scumbag would understand.....Bohemian Road Nurse...http://www.blogger.com/profile/02136803397641401011noreply@blogger.com
