CCRN,
Well, I WISH THEY WOULD OF USED THAT TOO and maybe even double dosed the Fetanal!!!
By the way, no vent as I was alert and was not in any distress except when they rolled in the Defibrilator. Then my BP went up another 10-15 points along with rapid breathing and me shouting to all there "What the F___K is that doing here, I'm fine, look I can walk!"
During that fateful morning I have learned to HATE electricity to the point that I sweat profusely, become dizzy, and actually hear in my mind somebody screaming out loud "CLEAR" when I change a light bulb or especially when I change a wall outlet.
Must of did something to my Cerebal functioning too because I now remember vividly and in living color coming out of my mother's womb.
Anyways, to all you 18D's and MD's out there, when you fellows have had to cadiovert somebody say for V-fib, how many of them have remembered getting paddled?
