Teavana: heaven of tea.

-
     Okay, so i work for a coffee shop. I love coffee, I drink it black, black w/ sugar, sugar and milk, I love good coffee. we have a coffee/espresso set up in our kitchen and I love it, I make all kinds of espresso creations, cappuccinos, macchiatos, just not americanos those are gross. so long story short I LOVE good coffee. I enjoy one thing more then coffee.
     Tea. mainly Teavana, walking into their store I always take a deep, deep breath and sigh. Everything is pleasing to the eyes, nose, mouth, touch. four out of five senses being happily stimulated is pretty good for one small store. I love the tasting samples, they always have beautiful blends of teas, whites, greens, blacks, roobios, oolong, mates, herbals, all so good and extremely good for you! at the moment I have Maharaja Chai Oolong Tea and Samurai Chai Mate. I use the Mate blended with my Chaga Chai for mornings because it has as much energy stuff as coffee, just in a slightly different configuration so I use it instead of coffee, and the mate is think is stronger then the oolong so it's better at masking the mushroomie taste of the chaga. I like the oolong in the evening cause its caffeine free. I use it less often because it's about twice as much as mate. both are delicious, just used for different things.

Norepinephrine(Levophed) usage in ME EMS protocol

-
Image
From the ME EMS Protocols : A. Preperation - Mix NOREPINephrine 8 mg in 250 ml NS.  B. Dosing - Starting Dose is NOREPINephrine 0.03    μg(mcg)/kg/min. Titrate by 0.03  μg(mcg)/kg/min every 3-5 minutes. Usual dose is 0.03-0.25  μg(mcg)/kg/min. Usual max dose is 0.6  μg(mcg)/kg/min. Absolute max dose is 3  μg(mcg)/kg/min C. Titrate to maintain SBP greater than 90 mm Hg. For 2013 the  Medical Direction and Practice Board decided to move away from Dopamine to  Norepinephrine. I am no doctor (yet) but I'm guessing it has to do with some of these studies  ( 2 , 3 ).   A subgroup analysis showed that dopamine, as compared with norepinephrine, was associated with an increased rate of death at 28 days among the 280 patients with cardiogenic shock but not among the 1044 patients with septic shock or the 263 with hypovolemic shock -   Daniel De Backer, M.D., Ph.D., Patrick Biston, M.D., Jacques Devriendt, M.D....  for...

60 Hours a week.

Hello. My name is Nicholas. I work for a private Ambulance. Now that I am fully oriented I work 60 hrs a week. I couldn't be happier, or more tired. I'm making major bank. ------------------------------------------      Anyways.... So I'm working Delta for real now and It's both fun and tiring. I'm working nights on the BLS truck, I get to take care of your sweet hearted granny!..... And your crazy ass uncle that's a Vietnam vet... so it's a fair trade. After a week I was on Reddit EMS  and they had a good post about gear guys carry. pretty standard info. Good stethoscope, trauma shears, pen. well  I have all of those... but it's a lot to keep in your pockets and when you're trying to catch a quick nap  it sucks to have shears stabbing your quad. So I went and ordered a molle drop leg with some pouches. I'll see how it goes and post pics and such when I get everything in and running.      Now I know I should take some ...
