Wow 18%EF? I would think that you would notice sx's like SOB, fatigue, dizziness, chest pain, possibly passing out due to low B/P... With an EF that low, you are lucky that your heart recovered its function... So did you have myocarditis?

Thank you... It's not just the medical staff. We need an entire team to care for a COVID pt, Materials Mgmt to provide PPE for us, MD's, RN's, NA's, RT's and probably the hardest working and least paid; housekeeping. Its been an interesting 2 months, and I think the next coming months might be...

Welcome Wyatt. I have been out of the water for many years, but looking to get back into it. Hope to run into you sometime.

A little off-topic, but what would you say would be a sufficient Diving Medical Examination and Clearance. I have had an EKG, CXR, CT scans (not for diving or COVID). I do not have any lung illnesses and I haven't smoked in over 20 years. Should there be a pulmonary function test? Should...

Thank you for doing this Ken. I watched the entire event. The toaster was quite funny. Sorry we're couldn't hear the clackity- clack that you kept talking about. Looking forward to next year.

Our staff has not had to sleep at work except the few people who tested positive and were isolated on campus.

OUCH.... Did you ever get it back???

LOL.... Speaking of masks, I would like to do a full face mask with a continuous supply of air at work and see what kind of reactions I get.... Would be worth a few chuckles and definitely break up the day.

it is definitely different times. ER's are still experiencing lower volumes of the normal abdominal pains, nausea/vomiting/chest pains/strokes. Pretty much everyone that we see is either + for COVID or has some sx's of COVID. Still not testing every single pt that wants to be tested. We refer...

You are welcome. Just doing our jobs.

No, I am not Filipino, LOL. Just your average white guy. Thanks for the suggestions for the BC, I will look into that. Hopefully they are open for service. My father was stationed on Clark AFB and did marry a Filipino woman, (2nd marriage, not my mother), but that did not last. He was there in...

Wow, that is a keeper. Somewhere around here, I have my original NAUI card from 1989.

Where did you do your residency and in what specialty? I work for the County of Los Angeles at Olive View Hospital in Sylmar, CA.

Wow... I remember wanting to do the LA County Advanced Diver Program years ago when I was actively diving. I also had the opportunity to meet a few of the instructors for the program and I know at least one Instructor is a Supervisor out at the Chamber on Catalina Island, Lorraine Saddler. Do...

Being new, I am only suggesting that you look at Brian Stafford from Lake Hickory Scuba in Taylorsville, NC, probably not too far from you. He has over 700 videos on various topics, but several of them are based around public safety/search and recovery. Public Safety work is truly a thankless...

Sadly, my Mother never took advantage of my name. At work, they call me Captain or LOLO which is Grampa in Tagalog... I am the senior nurse in my department. As far as the gear, I actually got the computer running again. Took it to my local dive shop (LDS) and had it serviced and replaced the...

My name is Steven Rogers and I have been a Registered Nurse for almost 22 years. I have worked for the County of Los Angeles Department of Health Services the entire time in addition to working registry at several local hospitals as well. I work in the Emergency Room which is COVID Central...
