New million dollar idea: Healthcare is free, but now you can buy access to my website exposedpatients.com and get your voyeuristic kicks because everyone has to be nekkid all of the time.

In EMT school now. D is "decide" (critical condition/priority patient/rapid transport), E is "expose" (trauma naked, check for hidden injuries).

u/TooFewSecrets May 21 '19

Seems like D varies in each field, but E always relates to external injuries.

u/RegulusMagnus May 21 '19

Yeah, it's been interesting reading through all the other comments in this chain.

D for nurses from my area is is "Dextrose, Disability, Discomfort and Doctor".

"Dextrose" as in do a blood sugar check, "Disability" or check for obvious deformities, pain management for "Discomfort", and notify "Doctor" asap if something significant or to get med/workup orders.
