  • Am a medic. Had a similar call, but dude ended up having a rare tumor on his pancreas called and insulinoma. They produce and hold a bunch of insulin and can occasionally rupture and flood your system with insulin. Ofcourse we didn’t Know he had one at the time.

    We had a non Diabetic PT that we found with a glucose that just read low. So 30< with our glucometers. Dumped 100 of d20 into him with absolutely no changes. Ended up infusing 4 more bags of d20 into him during transport. Got him up to like 80 and then watched him become unresponsive again 5 min later. Checked again and found it to be back to 40. He was in a room a few min later. Normally Im glad we don’t cary d50 anymore that shit was like using a sledge hammer to hammer in a tack nail. But this was the one time d20 wasn’t cutting it.

    Anyways, glad you are alive. Shit can be scary.


  • This realy is the key point imo.

    There are people out there that can give a 100k+ gift to their partner other.

    According to Google there are about 1.3 million households that make over 500k a year in the United States. That’s not a big number compare to the total population but it’s a big number.

    Those families and many others are able to afford something like that if they want too. Notice the homes in those commercials are always very nice aswell. If you cant afford that, then you are simply not the target audience.

    I know i sure as hell can’t.


  • Baby was immediately taken to a state if the art NICU and had a whole team of specialists. Still has a 0.5 chance of not having brain damage when she grows up.

    This is an absolutely amazing thing. But the tweet makes it seem. Like he just st with the baby and rubbed her chest. Not that she was being treated with the best equipment and by the best people.
