Soldier Medic goes coo coo over IV @ Ft. Sam Houston, Texas Class 15-08 Team 4

[PvtBenton68W]

I'm an Army medic also. And obviously the instructors have becom a little more forgiving than when I was there. SSG Kizer would have raped my soul if he had saw me do it like that. And we didnt practice that much on dummy arms. You just had to do the damn thing. But hey, "Worrior Spirit"

So i hear they are phasing out the IV now? using some kind of cooling blanket instead?

[battygirl31]

@andrademeza Negative; the IV isn't just used for cooling a patient, it's actually hardly ever used for that. In combat, we use them as a replacement for blood volume loss to prevent hypovolemia-->shock-->death, as a means of infusion therapy, and rehydration. No blanket is going to put fluids back in your veins. ;)

"Think. What are we going to do?"

"Well, we have to put something over that."

"Exactly!... what are we going to put over it?"

"This thing!"

[flamebike92]

"Why are you freaking out?"

"Because there is blood everywhere."

Great..... a hemaphobic medic. lol

I'll be in her shoes in a while. 68w here i come!

[thestaple8]

Why is she in the army? I am a fute combat medic..is this what I have to look forward to? lol

[v14d]

i hate dumb bitches like this... poor guy. shes prolly used to having everything done for her and coasting through on other peoples work... stupid bitch

[LegionLives]

@battygirl31 The question is, do you have the rank needed to smoke the shit outta her? I've learned that's important. As a fellow soldier medic.

[katiedove89]

Do they do this on dummy's first? Or is this their first time?

[battygirl31]

@katiedove89 They practice EXTENSIVELY on dummy arms first but this soldier medic clearly didn't practice/study her procedures well enough. All I have to say is, being an Army medic too, this shit is not rocket science like she's making it out to be. If she were my soldier, I'd have told her to d/c the procedure, smoked the shit out of her for making such a scene, told her to make damn sure to have her shit straight and know the procedure before she stuck anyone again.

[armymedic98]

oh god please get better at this no offence

[YumiGWhite]

I always remember my husband said there nothing about secret, the end important only save life!

As a military medical officer's wife, I am so proud of him!!!

Have to reminded everyone of how long ago your fathers (mothers)... were forging this? country with their sweat and? what it was would be enjoying such prosperity and freedom like we do today. God bless everyone and your family; Especially of our Military hero!

I know only say Thank you it's not enough for our Military and their family!

[mahrens2]

hahaha she was not prepared for this..but she pushed through lol

[mahrens2]

hahahaha lol it's sad to see someone struggle, because you remember when you were scared.

[torymarcon]

This is hard to watch. Classic Army training though, a bunch of noise, people standing around waiting, and people with cameras. I bet she learned some good lessons. It makes me wonder, was she she shown how to do this earlier in her training?

[TheAce22716]

@TheRickIRL hahaha, yea, you'll get stuck a ton in 68w AIT. You get used to it. Just wait until Camp Bullis... you'll get stuck dozens of times in one day, lol

[Oletos7j]

SALINE LOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dudley123456]

She doesn't even know that the saline lock goes into the catheter . Is she trying to be cute? What a waste of a good Medic slot.

[eddieisfiction]

@dudley123456 relax bro, its training, lol im sure she eventually got it down later on

[firstdue52]

IV 101. have everything accessible so you don't crap a brick when you get your stick. good stuff

[iFreedom1212]

that poor guy....

[vetitoe362]

well ya gotta start somewhere, hopefully she fell into this roll a little further on...

[tiraud]

I hope that was the first week.... I'm sorry but your not cut out to be a combat medic.... Treatment under pressure

[lanterjt]

My wife is just starting her AIT and seeing this and all the videos makes me excited for her...she going to love it....

[1991krl]

omg she's retarded! god help the soldiers she treats.

[misaenator]

was she trying to look cute or drawing pple's blood? What a lousy medic!

[Dustoffam]

I remember being in this same situation. Once you do it so often you will get it done in less than a minute. GREAT job!

[STUNNR831]
