Quote of the Year! Bravo! Author! Author!
Besides all this, I never met a patient with a pulse I couldn't save. Yes, Virginia, I'm that good.
I have one simple goal when medicking - turn my patient over to the surgeons in better shape than he was when I originally found him.
I can imagine the conversation - "Redleg 26, bring it in danger close, NOW!"
"Well, he did sign a living will"
"Watch the left flank, no the left...DAMN Bravos!"
"To hell with the living will, watch this! Who's O Neg? Give the clacker to Bao/Hadji/Juan and get over here now!"
"CAS in 5!"
"JESUS Doc, what are you doing to him?"
LOL
Truth is, I probably wouldn't even know who the patient was, mcuh less remember who wanted what. Probably a defense mechanism, but I tend to block identities and treat the wound, not the person, in the field.
I've had people come up later "Hi, remember me?"
"I've never met you, go away."
"But, I named my kid after you!"
"I don't know you."
"Shrapnel wound left forearm, Honduras, '88."
"Oh yeah, how'd that work out for you?"
I'm much nicer in a clinical setting.
LOL
