How much do you know about first-aid and general medicine?:
I have past knowledge and experience of hospital work from my previous times as EMS. I have been a surgeon on SRP, EMS on Ridgeston before its rebranding, and EMS on a few other smaller servers. I remember the different roles and their implications, including the emergency codes, the radio, codes/protocols for each department, medications, and necessary items. I know the basics of anatomy from classes I’ve taken in school, including the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system, and the respiratory system. I also have basic first aid knowledge as it is required for my OOC job.
Give us 3 examples of injuries, and their resolution:
Fractures: A common injury seen in sports or other incidents. An open fracture is when a broken bone is cracked, shattered, or fully broken. If untreated, they will heal improperly, are prone to infection, and can possibly result in internal bleeding or death. The person should immediately be brought to the hospital and given pain medication, as well as a pulse ox monitor and a blood transfusion if necessary. Any bleeding should be stopped and the wound irrigated. To diagnose the fracture, it must be X-rayed. Once diagnosed, it can be determined whether or not the patient needs surgery. Patients who do not require surgery should be placed in a cast and prescribed pain killers and crutches. Patients that need surgery should be prepared beforehand, then brought in for an open reduction and internal fixation surgery.
Deep lacerations are a fairly common injury ranging from falling or cuts by sharp objects. First thing to do when that occurs is to apply pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding, depending on what you have available, gauze if possible. After the bleeding stops you can then begin to clean out the wound using clean water and soup, saline if need be. Then give the patient local anesthetic to numb the area before suturing the wound close and bandaging it up to prevent infections.
Seizures can be caused by an array of issues such as epilepsy. When one occurs you first want to lay them onto the ground and ensure that the area is clear from any objects that the person could hit on accident. Next you want to cushion their head with a pillow or something soft. After doing so you will want to make sure you loosen any tight close from around their neck. Then turn them onto their side and monitor their condition and keep track of how long the seizure occurs. For certain conditions, medications such as benzodiazepines can be administered through IV to stop seizures.
Why do you want to join the hospital faction on Echoes? Answer this OOC:
My main motivation to apply for EMS is to broaden my roleplaying abilities.. I have seen and participated in EMS RP before on many servers and learned a lot from others. I’ve learned many different systems that've been used in different servers and would like to also learn this one that's used. I enjoy EMS rp and the environment that it creates very much and wish to continue to expand that knowledge and enjoyment for all those involved.
How would you deal with someone that was FailRPing inside of the hospital?:
If someone was failing rp within the hospital I would kindly let them know, if it was a minor failrp such as not doing painrp or misrepresenting an injury. I would let them know in looc and help them so they can learn from the mistake. If the situation was much more severe such as metagaming or being toxic to others, that ruins the environment and enjoyment for all those involved I would let staff know and let them take it from there.
Provide us with 2 some-what detailed actions of your character helping an injured person. You can choose the injury or illness.
In this situation a patient came in with a stab wound, non fatal.
Judah hooked an ECG to the patient before quickly wrapping a tourniquet around their arm, tapping the arm a few times for a vein to appear, he’d clean the area with a saline wipe before inserting the IV line into the vein and quickly connected it to a bag of morphine and unit of O-. Taking some gauze pads he placed them against the gunshot wound and applied pressure to stop the bleeding. Grabbing a unit of saline he poured it over the wound before tossing the pads into a bin and threaded a needle and stitched the wound closed with an ‘x’ pattern. Using a pair of scissors he cut the excess string and applied the anti-scarring and antibiotics over the wound before wrapping a bandage over the wound before moving the patient to the recovery room.
In this situation a patient came wet and cold with hyperthermia from falling into the lake.
Judah quickly noticed the patient was shivering and soaking wet in front of him, he grabbed some towels and did his best to dry the patient off before moving them to the ER. He wrapped a tourniquet around the patient's arm and cleaned a small area with a saline wipe before inserting an IV line with fluids and hooked an ECG to the patient. Walking over to the cabinet he took out a heated blanket and placed it over the patient before turning it on the lowest setting. Over the next couple minutes he increased the blanket’s temperature until their body temperature returned to a normal safe level. Judah then unlocked the bed and rolled the patient to the recovery room.
Provide us with your character’s backstory. Please attempt to limit yourself to more-or-less 1,500 words (maximum 2,500):
Judah Smith was born on December 3rd 1954 at the American Hospital of Paris, France. He was raised in France by his parents, his French mother who was a doctor that worked at the hospital, and his Chinese father who was a businessman that traveled frequently to China. Growing up he was particularly close to his mother, Judah constantly asked her if he could tag along to the hospital instead of staying with his babysitter or going to school. His father was often on trips, so he spent most of the time with his mother. Judah’s mother set strict rules with Judah for what he could do while visiting the hospital. At a young age, he observed and learned from his mothers example of diagnosis and treatment of patients. This inspired Judah to pursue a career of medicine later in life. As he got older, Judah entered highschool, taking many classes to work on becoming a medical worker like his mother. When Judah graduated from high school his mother was very proud of him, his father on the other hand was still in China. When he turned 18 in 1972 Judah was required to complete his one year of mandatory military service. He chose the navy, eventually becoming a part of a medical team aboard the aircraft carrier Clemenceau. Throughout his one year service he learned a lot of valuable lessons and friendship with those he worked with. After his one year was up he left the navy to continue his dream of becoming a medical worker, deciding upon being a surgeon from his experience working in the navy. Before Judah entered college, his mother taught her how to cook and bake. He entered Sorbonne University for his college classes, participating in biology, nursing, human physiology, and a couple pharmaceutical related classes. During this time he focused on his studies, working out and improving his cooking and baking abilities. He eventually graduated with an MD, taking some internships and then starting a residency at the hospital his mother worked in. He did a Pediatrics residency for four years at American Hospital of Paris. During this residency he befriended a few coworkers, communicating and working well with them as a team and treating patients together. After completing his residency, Judah became a fully qualified surgeon, hired at the hospital. He stayed there for a few years as he helped countless patients and expanded his medical knowledge. As a few years passed, he temporarily worked at a hospital in Scotland. There he met his best friend Caspian, the two grew very close as they bonded over their mutual love of medicine and their work. After the exchange program ended Judah returned to France to continue his work at the hospital. Months later the pair decided to move to East Falls. He personally wanted to see what this city was truly like and to find work in the medical field.
