I’m traveling from NH to MN today to meet some of the team at my new job.

The end of this EMT textbook chapter is about how to recognize when someone is sooooo dead, you don’t have to try to resuscitate them. They actually say that we should not do cpr on a decapitated patient. I have concern for students who needed to read that in a textbook.
Sorry if this is too graphic for a cute travel thread. But I’m like one step away from being a main character on The Pitt so it’s to be expected.
You always hear about Triage being stressful. Making choices on who gets "priority".
I'm thinking back to the fire at the Swiss Ski resort night club. Saw lots of interviews on DW TV (on our local PBS station). Those folks were being ordered around, don't treat THAT person <emphasis on lost cause> treat THIS one. Limited resources, and even more limited time. It's about maximizing the win column on the worst day of everyone's lives.

@actualham
😁 Oh Joy! Robin's traveling! That means a Robin Travelogue(TM)!
This day just got soooo much better.I know, understand fully costs involved (monetary, but more the mental ones).
But 💯 hard agree.
In my time here on Mastodon,... Robin Travelogue(TM) is best travelogue. Hands down.

Some members of the flight crew have shown up and are waiting with us. People are looking at them desperately like maybe they are prophets sent from another land who might carry news about where our plane is.

Somehow the energy at this gate feels like when everyone is listening hard for the first tremor of the sandworms in Dune.

The woman next to me is dressed the way anyone in a Boston blizzard dresses when they’re about to get on a plane to Minneapolis.

I was wondering how to work a Don DeLillo scene into this thread. Well the universe just delivered:
Man, to gate agent, “We are connecting on our way to Portugal.”
Man’s wife: “We are going to Puerto Rico.”
Man: “…”

I have been wearing a mask for 5.5 hours. If I were MAGA I would have asphyxiated on my own CO2 by now. 😅

I just took my noise canceling headphones off for a minute. In the words of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, “Big mistake. Huge.”

@actualham in their defense, Minneapolis is not a direct path to either Portugal or Puerto Rico from Boston...

@actualham Depending on what the flight is like, you might wish you were
