Running on Empty: Circulating on Fumes
Manage episode 516933409 series 3520471
In Running on Empty: Circulating on Fumes, The Ten Minute Medic trades sirens for subtlety—reminding us that not all emergencies come screaming. Our unlucky protagonist is a pregnant patient whose body has turned “morning sickness” into an Olympic event, leaving her so dehydrated her cardiovascular system is basically running on fumes.
This episode turns a quiet case of hyperemesis gravidarum into a masterclass on spotting shock before it strikes. It’s equal parts physiology refresher and paramedic pep talk—complete with the gentle reminder to be good humans to our patients...especially when they are making a new human!
