so its been like a week since i sliced my finger open

it's still not healed and it's starting to hurt, so it's infected

debating on what i should do.

should i:

a) roll up to the ambulance bay tonight at WWMC, go in, and be like "yo, plz clean this and give me benzo + some ceftin or amox"

b) wait until tomorrow morning, head to the ems station, and have someone do it for me since it's hard to treat your own hand

c) wait until tomorrow morning and go see my friends at rex urgent care and get them to do it.

YOUR CHOICE TDUB

it ain't THAT infected, i can just tell that it's getting there

i'd rather not deal with staph if i can help it

honestly i should have sutured it but its too late for that now

Wait, aren't you an EMT?

We're fucked.

ahahaha you should know that paramedics often neglect their own medical care (e.g. most medics smoke cigarettes)

this is not an indication of their skills

b) wait until tomorrow morning, head to the ems station, and have someone do it for me since it's hard to treat your own hand

c) wait until tomorrow morning and go see my friends at rex urgent care and get them to do it.


what's the difference?

10/7/2007 11:33:04 AM

...rex urgent care != EMS station


retard.

10/7/2007 11:34:12 AM

no shit

but as far as he's concerned what would the difference in treatment be

10/7/2007 11:37:30 AM

free vs not free, perhaps, and distance, for sure.

Also, it might should have been

c) wait until tomorrow morning and go see my friends at the ems station and get them to do it.

are you not an paramedic evan? Seriously you should know what to do, quit being an attention whore.

all of the options i mentioned would be free (i got the hookups yo)

i think i'll go to rex b/c then i can get some benzo for it and maybe some narcs to make it stop hurting so damn much

10/7/2007 11:55:08 AM

looks like you already had your mind made up... what was the thread for
