'I'm Trained to Know When Someone is Dying. The White House Needs You to Believe Trump Isn't"

[sop]

"Being a paramedic sucks."

"The hours suck. The pay is insulting. We get no respect. We are treated like ambulance drivers and expected to just do as we are told. We aren’t treated like medical professionals despite the years of training we have."

"Did you know as a paramedic I can show up, start an IV, intubate (Put a breathing tube down your throat), give you a massive number of different medications, interpret an ECG (Which aside from doctors, no one else can do) all while moving at 60 mph?"

"When it comes to the things I am able to do, the list is actually insane. Here is a skill that I can do that will shock you. I am trained and capable of taking a scalpel to your neck, cutting it open, and putting in a breathing tube."

1. Not a problem!

I watched "Emergency" from my Holiday In Express last night.
Wringers or D5W fixed everything.
Rampart. Cool name though!
(I appreciate what you do. Especially as I get older.)

[AllaN01Bear]

15. One of my goto shows when. I was a kid.

[Andy Canuck]

16. And they always said,

"KMG365"

[AllaN01Bear]

17. Yeppers

Radio call sign.

[Dulcinea]

24. Mine too! nt

[Bristlecone]

34. Rampart, we gave a male Caucasian victim, orange coloration, hair attached only to the side of his head, hand ecchymosis

“Stand by for vitals”

[LT Barclay]

39. I tried getting my family to watch this because the wife and kids loved 911. But when they let the discs sit untouched

I watched more of one episode. I found that while emergency had about 15 minutes of an emergency mixed with 3 minutes of firehouse or other filler, 911 was almost the exact opposite with 3 minutes of an emergency and 15 minutes of filler and drama. In my opinion, score a big win for Rescue 51,

[colorado_ufo]

42. Loved that show!

So did my toddler son. I loved it when I found him giving CPR to his Teddy bear!

2. Even to this non medical person, it was pretty obvious

even in his first term that he had medical issues and wasn't anywhere close to healthy, mentally or physically. Quite honestly, his doctors need to have their licenses revoked for lying to the public.
6'3", 220lbs. sure, bro, whatever you say.

[hamsterjill]

3. I wish this person would have given some kind of time estimate on the issues he presents.

Did I miss that in the article somewhere? I'm just wondering how long they think that they can prop him up and keep him looking even remotely capable.

[AdamGG]

5. I suspect that his Project 2025 handlers

would go full on Weekend at Bernie's for the remainder of his term, if possible.

[hamsterjill]

7. Oh, I totally concur.

Discussed this on another thread yesterday. With past video of him that can be manipulated, with AI, and with someone posting on social media acting like it's him, they will definitely be able to keep a secret for a period of time. His followers will be easily fooled.

The rest of us know to watch for this type of thing. We all know that SOMETHING was up over these last few days when he was MIA for that time period. When people started questioning, they paraded him out for a few minutes to quell the suspicions. There will come a time when he won't be able to be paraded, especially for any length of time.

They are very obviously propping him up with medical care. He's still human and that won't work forever.

[NCDem47]

26. Talk about the auto-pen!

[Wednesdays]

35. Remember back during the war against al-Qaida,

...when a video came out showing Bin Laden, and it turned out to be a fake? Even then, there was debate on whether it was fake or not.

And that was 20 years ago.

[RetiredParatrooper]

11. That would be a long-term diagnosis

Paramedics don't do those.

[ShazzieB]

23. No, they can't. That's why the paramedic didn't diagnose him.

Early on, he acknowledges the fact that, despite his extensive training and experience, he can't give a formal diagnosis of Trump: "It comes down to one single thing I can’t do. I cannot diagnose. I can know what is wrong. I can treat what is wrong. I can even fix what is wrong. I just cannot officially tell you what is wrong."

Later, he says this:

Doctors] aren’t comfortable making a diagnosis without testing. I don’t have to give a diagnosis. I just have to treat what I’m seeing happening. So let’s talk about what I would treat if I had to take care of the Felonious Chunk, The Incontinental Divider, Mango Musalini.

That is how I would take care of him after my partner convinced me that driving the ambulance off a cliff with him in it wouldn’t make the world a better place. He’d be wrong, but I’m not about to mix ashes with that fascist.

Let’s take a look at what Adolf Shitler is presenting like and figure out exactly how to treat the suspected condition.

He then proceeds to describe the things going on with Schlump that he's seeing with his own eyes (just like the rest of us) and what those things mean to a highly trained health care professional.

I highly recommend reading the article. It's highly informative and amusing, and it'sa gift link, so it doesn't cost anything to read it.

He starts out by describing the things he is trained to do, then says, "It comes down to one single thing I can’t do. I cannot diagnose. I can know what is wrong. I can treat what is wrong. I can even fix what is wrong. I just cannot officially tell you what is wrong."

As someone who has been following Schlump's decline pretty closely, I learned a lot from this article. It confirmed a lot of my personal suspicions and also greatly added to my understanding of what I've been seeing. I highly recommend reading it. It's highly informative, it's a fast read, and it's a gift link, so it doesn't cost anything to read it.

[ShazzieB]

25. That would be very helpful information, but I doubt he's in a position to provide that.

I don't think that's something a paramedic can do. They're trained to observe and treat but not to prognosticate, beyond estimating how close to death's door a patient they're transporting is.

Providing a prognosis is in the purview of Trump's doctors and would require access to things like test results. I have no doubt his docs have a pretty good idea of how much time he has left, but they're not going to tell us peons!

[hamsterjill]

29. Uh, I do realize that. But this particular paramedic

Is doing more than usual by giving his observations. Going out on a limb if you will.

So I was hoping he would have dropped a hint as to a time frame. I realize they can’t diagnose, but basically did in the article so I was simply hoping for their educated guess. It would be more accurate, I would imagine, than mine or yours.

[popsdenver]

4. Agreed

Paramedic Pay should be the same as Fire fighters and Police, instead, it is often half as much........

[electric_blue68]

31. Ouch! For something so critical that's not right!

[usonian]

6. About those mysterious visits ....

[Pinback]

10. It's alive! IT'S ALIIIVVVVE!!! (nt)

[C Moon]

21. "Abby something."

[usonian]

30. I hope the rest of your day goes better.

Maybe the good doctor reverses the polarity of those electrodes.

[NNadir]

19. Abby Normal.

[Orrex]

8. Every day that he doesn't die shrieking in agony is a day wasted

[TBA]

9. As someone who recently "enjoyed" an ambulance ride...

I appreciate paramedics. I was very well cared for.

[AverageOldGuy]

12. You left out:

Deliver a fetus at 4.5 months gestation still attached to umbilical; one hour and 45 minutes at 70 MPH with state trooper escort to nearest NICU; keep the fetus warm and moist, whiff O2, stay on phone to NICU.

Little girl is 7 years old and we have been to all 7 of her birthday parties.

13. Thanks for the substack link. Look at his piece on the Butler, PA. shooter and security timeline.

https://nicholasjorcutt.substack.com/p/they-cremated-the-body-then-told

Very interesting.

[pat_k]

14. I hate that I fervently hope this guy is right and that an AAA is the felon's ticking time bomb.

If so, that bomb can't go off soon enough.

Never thought I'd be someone who so desperately wished death on another human being, but here I am.

... It comes down to one single thing I can’t do. I cannot diagnose. I can know what is wrong. I can treat what is wrong. I can even fix what is wrong. I just cannot officially tell you what is wrong.
...
Understand when I go to a call, I have to figure out what the problem is. I don’t have lab work. I don’t have X-rays and CT scanners. The most advanced tech I have is an ECG and a glucometer. Otherwise, it’s just left to me working this shit out like I’m Batman hunting down the Joker.
...
Except that doesn’t explain why he has been getting a CT scan EVERY three months. A significant number of medical professionals are dead set that they are worried about his mental decline, and they are trying to make sure he still has all neurologic functions.
...
I think that there is something more dangerous that his medical team is monitoring and tracking. I think that what they are monitoring closely isn’t his mental health. It is the time bomb in his belly. An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is what happens when the Aorta (Main blood delivery system to the heart) starts to get a bulge in it. The side wall of the Aorta starts to push outward. It is a serious life-threatening condition.

If a AAA ruptures, which they are prone to do, then unless you are physically on an operating table under bright lights with a skilled surgeon, you can kiss your ass goodbye.

The AAA makes the CHF worse which also explains why he has the pitting edema in every extremity. Edema is what happens when there is a fluid leakage from the blood vessels and the body’s natural drain system (The Lymphatic system) isn’t able to filter out all the excess fluid from the blood.

It causes that ‘sloshy’ looking skin that if you press into, leaves an indent. When you know what you are looking for, you can spot pitting edema across the room just by the socks the person is wearing.

[stopdiggin]

18. if so .... He is taking an inordinate amount of time to do so.

Why is it taking so long?

A little bit tongue in cheek ... But I'm also really sick to death of third hand accounts telling us all the myriad things that are (quite assuredly) taking Donald away. Any time now. A rest please?

[chowder66]

20. I love paramedics!! I had to call them when I started using medical marijuana

and got the wrong kind, a hybrid. I found out from a doctor that I should have been only using indica but I didn't know that at the time.
I ended up thinking I was having a bad reaction and possibly a heart attack. I told them about the pot and they laughed a bit and checked me out.
I was okay and they asked if I wanted to go to the hospital and after talking to them a little more, I declined.

They were getting more calls about the very thing I went through but they told me I was the only one so far that told them upfront about the pot. They appreciated that I told them, it made their job easier.

[TheFracturedLine]

22. Thank you

I wrote this, I was blown away to find someone sharing it here. Thank you for that. I wasn't even aware of this website before today.

[chia]

27. Welcome!

[Spazito]

28. Welcome to DU!

[electric_blue68]

33. Welcome and TY!

[Brother Buzz]

36. Welcome

Do we have permission to post your piece in its entirety?

[TheFracturedLine]

40. Absolutely, just link to it

Please.

[electric_blue68]

32. Unfortunately, w my mom then later my dad even from late teens I saw one parent then the other go off in an ambulance..

then by my ?30's I was the one riding with the affect parent!
So...much respect for the ambulance crew !

Now I'll go read the article. 👍

[RandomNumbers]

37. People need to read this, if only for the Excellent Monikers

the author adds to our repertoire.

Some here may have already been using "The Incontinental Divider" but this one is new for me, and I applaud it.

There's a few more gems in there.

Go on over and read it, if you haven't.

[TheFracturedLine]

41. I agree

Couldn't agree more. The writer seems to be some kind of savant at insulting the IMPOTUS himself, Donny Dementia.

[pansypoo53219]

38. most of the drumpf's don't hit 80.
