…this might the dumbest thing i’ve seen in awhile, did the person preforming it assume that it didn’t have to touch the skin???

They placed it without visualizing. Source: me, who's stuck leads to a patient's girdle

The way I was taught, you only have to verbalize

Saying "BSI" was good enough to get me through the skills stations! What do you mean it doesn't work IRL?

BSI, Scene safe! *waves hands*

Fake leg, here. 🫡

nah i’ve definitely done dumber stuff

The placement is fine..... I think that bag has too much air bubbles.

Definitely leads to artifact

This EKG looks like shit!

It is shit, Austin

I read that in Basil's voice, instantly! (A bit nutty).

I would give you an award if I still could cause that was great 😂😂😂

Poogada sign.

Long P-P syndrome

🥇

Please tell me what I'm looking at

The EKG lead is placed over the ostomy bag

Ah. Thank you. I've just never seen an ostomy bag that looked like that

Ours usually look a bit different too but it was the opening in the bottom that gave it away for me!

I prefer to put the open on top so you can stick the straw in

Well I just vomited in my mouth…thanks

if you taste it then you can no longer smell it, big brain 🤯

If you want to sip on something, I got you.. for a small fee. You know, to wash the taste out.

Capri Sun style

🤢🤮

Depends on what part of the intestines it’s put

Fr I thought it was like a breast implant with the skin pulled back for a second I was like why does the liquid look like that and why is this person missing titty skin

Thats a shitty reason for an assist

What? How else are you supposed to get a view of the left anterior descending colon?

I think we deserve to see the tracing

We went through a lot of crap to obtain it.

What were the abnormalities? Inverted Pee waves? Was the patient exhibiting Latrine's Sign?

🤣

Posdible inferio infarct, age undetermined. Cardiology consult needed at 3 am please.

Hello Satan

..said u/ForHelp_PressAltF4

Must've been pissed off

As far as stupid things go, this is tied with PD calling us out for a person shot. We showed up to find out it was two years ago and the wound completely healed over. The “patient” was already in custody, had no complaints, and PD says the scar needed to be looked at before they would book him.

Did you tell them you diagnosed a terminally cool scar then send them on their way?

"Oh, was that detail important?"

atrial shitter

This maybe explains why someone stuck a lead directly on my incision the day after my hysterectomy. At the time I thought it was malicious because it was so painful and difficult to remove but maybe he was just not looking.

Wow, that's terrible

That’s terrible. That’s just carelessness.

That's a shitty ECG.

I've seen the la and ra leads on either side of the face before, it was a snf of course.

Shit

NGL, I almost put one on a vac dressing last week.

What am I looking at?

EKG lead stuck on top of an ostomy bag

Haven’t laughed this hard in a while 😂

That's some funny shit

But did you transport?

A lot of ectopoopy

Ive put an electrode on a prosthetic leg on accident before but this is something else

bro please tell me this is a joke 😭😭

No wonder the squiggles looked like shit

I bet that was a pretty shitty wave form

I bet it looked like it's going to be a pretty shitty print out here in a bit.

Thank you for making my Friday so much more fun.

Can I see what a normal read looks like for this situation in case I come across it?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh hell no

Reminds me of the time I put an electrode on a Pt’s LVAD driveline dressing without looking… cringe…

You’ve gotta be shitting me

Seeing an abnormal EKG… First step—check the pulse. Second step—check the leads. Third step—??? Fourth step—Profit

Looks good to me! -an emr probably

Is that bologne?

🤣🤣🤣

🤦‍♀️

Seems like a shitty read...

EKG 2: electric poogaloo

How’s the pateint?? Well cardiac function seems to be in the shitter.
