00:00:06.059 --> 00:00:09.800
Welcome to the bed. We'll go ahead and give you

00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:12.580
the story. This is all going to happen super

00:00:12.580 --> 00:00:47.149
fast. Welcome to the emergency room. Hey guys,

00:00:47.530 --> 00:00:50.750
this is not an educational episode. This is more

00:00:50.750 --> 00:00:53.670
of like an announcement. When it comes to the

00:00:53.670 --> 00:00:57.890
podcast, I don't know what to do or how to handle

00:00:57.890 --> 00:01:01.250
it. For the longest time, but don't worry, it's

00:01:01.250 --> 00:01:04.489
not going anywhere. It's still gonna be here

00:01:04.489 --> 00:01:07.650
for you guys to kind of cut through the noise.

00:01:08.030 --> 00:01:10.569
For the longest time, I've been on the fence

00:01:10.569 --> 00:01:18.290
about charging for ACLS, PALS, ATLS, TNCC, all

00:01:18.290 --> 00:01:20.629
the other certifications that I hold that I'll

00:01:20.629 --> 00:01:23.530
have to renew and stuff like that. But I hate

00:01:23.530 --> 00:01:26.870
the fact that I would be gatekeeping this information.

00:01:27.180 --> 00:01:30.599
You know, and so I don't like that either. I'm

00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.099
a firm believer that if you're going to be in

00:01:33.099 --> 00:01:37.019
healthcare, you need ACLS, you need PALS, you

00:01:37.019 --> 00:01:40.019
need these things. You can debate me all you

00:01:40.019 --> 00:01:45.879
want on it. I don't care. You need it. or at

00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.359
least the very minimum, the recognition of advanced

00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:53.180
cardiac rhythms that will lead to the infamous

00:01:53.180 --> 00:01:56.599
VFib VTAC. That's just my stance on it. I mean,

00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.180
I'm coming from emergency medicine, but then

00:01:59.180 --> 00:02:02.019
again, like I also work the floor as well, and

00:02:02.019 --> 00:02:04.579
I still stand by what I say. I honestly believe

00:02:04.579 --> 00:02:07.439
that you need to know this stuff. I was going

00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.259
to charge for it. like a small subscription fee,

00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:13.219
like a dollar or something like that, but I just

00:02:13.219 --> 00:02:16.039
can't bring myself to charge you guys for something

00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.199
that I full wholeheartedly believe you should

00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.780
already know or be willing to learn and know

00:02:22.780 --> 00:02:26.219
to be a better medical provider, whether that

00:02:26.219 --> 00:02:31.900
be a physician, nurse, tech, EMS, you know, EMTA

00:02:31.900 --> 00:02:36.330
or EMTP, whatever, right? A little history about

00:02:36.330 --> 00:02:39.250
the podcast is that it wasn't supposed to be

00:02:39.250 --> 00:02:43.289
a podcast. Funny enough, right? It was actually

00:02:43.289 --> 00:02:47.430
supposed to be a clothing line that me and a

00:02:47.430 --> 00:02:52.389
friend were launching after LVN school. But after

00:02:52.389 --> 00:02:56.490
LVN school, I had a very difficult time getting

00:02:56.490 --> 00:02:59.590
a job in the hospital because I knew that I wanted

00:02:59.590 --> 00:03:03.490
to work in the hospital when I finished up LVN

00:03:03.490 --> 00:03:08.259
school. And so I actually took a job in Virginia,

00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.439
Roanoke, Virginia, which is basically southwest

00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:14.879
Virginia, right there on the border of West Virginia.

00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.659
And the other person stayed here in Houston and

00:03:19.659 --> 00:03:22.379
took a job at a well -known clinic in this area.

00:03:22.590 --> 00:03:26.310
And so, long story short, you know, like life

00:03:26.310 --> 00:03:29.050
got in the way and we just never got around to

00:03:29.050 --> 00:03:31.330
getting it off the ground and they went their

00:03:31.330 --> 00:03:34.129
way with life and I went my way in life. When

00:03:34.129 --> 00:03:37.530
I decided to go back to school to pursue my RN,

00:03:39.250 --> 00:03:42.689
I didn't know about these products that I'm using

00:03:42.689 --> 00:03:46.330
to help me out and inadvertently helping you

00:03:46.330 --> 00:03:49.909
guys out. I was going to charge for ACLS and

00:03:49.909 --> 00:03:53.780
PALS and... you know, ATLS and TNCC and stuff

00:03:53.780 --> 00:03:55.460
like that. I was going to charge for that stuff

00:03:55.460 --> 00:03:58.520
because I wanted to help offset some of the costs

00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.400
that I'm accruing while having these programs

00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.400
and these memberships to upload this stuff. Even

00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:08.900
though like RSS, yes, is technically free, but

00:04:08.900 --> 00:04:11.979
you're only allowed to upload like one episode.

00:04:12.169 --> 00:04:16.050
a week or every other week and notebook lm yes

00:04:16.050 --> 00:04:19.629
is technically free but you're only allowed to

00:04:19.629 --> 00:04:22.310
make a certain amount of notebooks in a given

00:04:22.310 --> 00:04:25.129
time frame before they close you out and it just

00:04:25.129 --> 00:04:28.449
kind of forces you to kind of upgrade. on both

00:04:28.449 --> 00:04:31.670
platforms, especially with the amount of material

00:04:31.670 --> 00:04:34.529
that I'm uploading and providing you guys and

00:04:34.529 --> 00:04:37.629
actually covering in school. So I just went ahead

00:04:37.629 --> 00:04:41.009
and purchased the year plan. That way I don't

00:04:41.009 --> 00:04:43.509
have to worry about it anymore. So I was going

00:04:43.509 --> 00:04:47.230
to sit there and have a subscription based product

00:04:47.230 --> 00:04:49.550
for these certification classes to help me offset

00:04:49.550 --> 00:04:51.990
some of that cost. So I've gone away from that.

00:04:52.550 --> 00:04:55.629
I don't want to start a GoFundMe because I don't

00:04:55.629 --> 00:04:58.860
want to hand out. I want, if I'm going to be

00:04:58.860 --> 00:05:01.540
taking your money, I want you to get some value

00:05:01.540 --> 00:05:05.800
from it. And an altruistic feeling is not something

00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.319
that I think is good enough. I've gone away from

00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.040
the subscription based, probably a bad idea.

00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.240
but that's what I'm deciding to do. I've decided

00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.319
that I'm going to try this route instead and

00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:22.459
pick up where I left off with the original Stat

00:05:22.459 --> 00:05:26.959
Stitch brand. Now the brand itself, again, is

00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.100
made for the healthcare field. Being a straight

00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:34.639
male in a predominantly female dominated career

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:39.439
field, I don't have a high demand for... a shirt

00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.540
that says nurse with a bunch of flowers on it,

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:47.240
you know? That's not my particular style. I know

00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.259
there are some guys out there that is their style.

00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.800
That's just not my style. And I'm also not the

00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:58.620
type that wants, you know, hearts and stuff like

00:05:58.620 --> 00:06:01.360
that all over the front of my shirt either. So

00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.040
I went to the drawing board. quite literally,

00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:07.480
and I have designed a bunch of shirts that can

00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:12.019
be worn by male or female, but it also cuts to

00:06:12.019 --> 00:06:15.480
the issues that we face in nursing in a humorous

00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.060
way. And so when you look at the products that

00:06:18.060 --> 00:06:21.600
I've uploaded to these particular shops, you'll

00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:23.839
see that maybe you resonate with some of these

00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.519
products or maybe you don't. But regardless,

00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.720
you know, like this is my solution. I probably

00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.860
shouldn't tell you guys the back end of this

00:06:32.860 --> 00:06:35.199
stuff, but I'm going to be dropshipping this

00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:40.259
stuff just because of school and work. I don't

00:06:40.259 --> 00:06:43.740
know how quick of a turnaround I'll be able to

00:06:43.740 --> 00:06:46.620
get your orders out, or if I have enough space

00:06:46.620 --> 00:06:53.920
to hold inventory or even press this stuff. screen

00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.879
print this stuff. I'm going to try a drop shipping

00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:01.379
route and then if I see that you guys are really

00:07:01.379 --> 00:07:03.439
loving these designs and you guys are really

00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:05.980
loving these shirts because it really resonates

00:07:05.980 --> 00:07:09.000
with your personality and how you feel then sure

00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.699
I might consider about bringing some of this

00:07:11.699 --> 00:07:14.899
stuff in house and seeing like how I can lower

00:07:14.899 --> 00:07:17.600
the cost and some of this stuff. The pricing

00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:22.519
itself might be a little steep but again like

00:07:22.569 --> 00:07:25.649
I'm looking just, you know, for it to help offset

00:07:25.649 --> 00:07:29.269
some of these costs. And I'm not asking for a

00:07:29.269 --> 00:07:32.069
handout. All I'm saying is, hey, if you want

00:07:32.069 --> 00:07:37.069
to support the channel and you like the products

00:07:37.069 --> 00:07:39.829
that, you know, that you see that would support

00:07:39.829 --> 00:07:42.050
the channel, then by all means, yeah, grab a

00:07:42.050 --> 00:07:44.790
shirt, grab your friend a shirt or grab your

00:07:44.790 --> 00:07:47.670
work wife, work husband a shirt and kind of roll

00:07:47.670 --> 00:07:52.430
with it. That's all I'm asking. If I'm not mistaken,

00:07:52.629 --> 00:07:55.209
I think the shirts are going to be 35. But yeah,

00:07:55.449 --> 00:07:58.470
that's kind of what I think I've decided that

00:07:58.470 --> 00:08:01.290
I'm going to do. It's going to be a third party

00:08:01.290 --> 00:08:03.689
drop shipping company that's going to be handling

00:08:03.689 --> 00:08:07.279
the fulfillment of these things. but these are

00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.740
my designs and I truly believe that they speak

00:08:10.740 --> 00:08:14.759
to the spirit of emergency medicine or just nursing,

00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.699
you know. And on that note, man, speaking of

00:08:17.699 --> 00:08:20.740
products and plugs, if you guys are in emergency

00:08:20.740 --> 00:08:23.319
medicine, you know, whether you're a nurse, flight

00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:29.240
nurse, you know, doc, EMTA or EMTP, there's an

00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:34.559
Etsy shop too. His name is... dude are in creations

00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:41.500
and he makes amazing stuff. He has these syringe

00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:45.840
sockets that are a major hit at work for me.

00:08:46.779 --> 00:08:50.120
The physicians love them. My coworkers love them.

00:08:50.500 --> 00:08:52.840
Patients love them. They always have something

00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.000
to say. It always goes along the lines of, wow,

00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.399
you look prepared. And I feel good that you're

00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.159
prepared. And I'm like, well, I'm glad that I

00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.480
look prepared because I feel prepared. And guess

00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:06.200
what? I am prepared. It's just little comments

00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:08.899
like that that I get from my coworkers and patients,

00:09:09.019 --> 00:09:12.320
the docs. And even better, man, they glow in

00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:14.409
the dark. You know, make sure you order the ones

00:09:14.409 --> 00:09:16.309
that glow in the dark though. But the ones that

00:09:16.309 --> 00:09:19.250
I have glow in the dark. Now, I don't know what

00:09:19.250 --> 00:09:22.230
trauma bay is gonna be operating in the dark,

00:09:22.509 --> 00:09:25.730
but I can imagine that if you're on the bird,

00:09:25.950 --> 00:09:29.350
you know, you're gonna be in the dark because

00:09:29.350 --> 00:09:31.950
I don't know very many lighting schemes in a

00:09:31.950 --> 00:09:35.250
whirly bird, especially coming from, you know,

00:09:35.429 --> 00:09:37.830
time and service. Go check him out, man. Like,

00:09:37.830 --> 00:09:41.389
he has a lot of great material. He has a syringe

00:09:41.389 --> 00:09:45.620
saver. Version two that I'm also a big fan of

00:09:45.620 --> 00:09:50.139
I had two of them one of them decided to walk

00:09:50.139 --> 00:09:53.879
away to someone else and The other one I keep

00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:57.980
on my belt and so when I get these coberts in

00:09:57.980 --> 00:10:01.700
the ER I usually load up my five and five and

00:10:01.700 --> 00:10:04.299
stick the big syringe and the big holder in my

00:10:04.299 --> 00:10:06.379
little my little syringe and my little in the

00:10:06.379 --> 00:10:08.980
little holder and I go in and I get in the blender

00:10:08.980 --> 00:10:11.120
with these with these psych patients that want

00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:14.860
to just you know, get roughed up and have attention.

00:10:15.139 --> 00:10:17.659
Give them the five and five and then walk out

00:10:17.659 --> 00:10:20.039
like nothing ever happened and just wait 20 minutes,

00:10:20.139 --> 00:10:22.740
you know, and put them back in bed. So yeah,

00:10:22.740 --> 00:10:24.980
go check his stuff out, man. Like he has a new

00:10:24.980 --> 00:10:28.100
product that's called the Field Rig. I ordered

00:10:28.100 --> 00:10:32.120
a few of those as well. That's going to be coming

00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.830
in clutch. I can feel it. And then he also has

00:10:34.830 --> 00:10:37.669
this product that he's going to be pushing back

00:10:37.669 --> 00:10:41.610
out called the Skyhook. And it's a piece of aluminum

00:10:41.610 --> 00:10:45.470
that you can clip on to your scrubs or to your

00:10:45.470 --> 00:10:50.029
flight suit or to your whatever you guys wear

00:10:50.029 --> 00:10:53.429
on the box. Polos, button -up shirts. I don't

00:10:53.429 --> 00:10:55.750
know what you guys wear. I just know that you

00:10:55.750 --> 00:10:58.470
wear it. But you can clip it to that too. and

00:10:58.470 --> 00:11:01.669
you can hang your fluids off of it without getting

00:11:01.669 --> 00:11:03.850
air in your line when you're transferring patient

00:11:03.850 --> 00:11:07.450
to from you know EMS stretcher to bed or I use

00:11:07.450 --> 00:11:11.350
it to again transfer from EMS stretcher to bed

00:11:11.350 --> 00:11:13.990
in a level one activation or when I'm getting

00:11:13.990 --> 00:11:16.649
ready to prime fluids I want to have both hands

00:11:16.649 --> 00:11:19.590
because those damn IV tubings are so fucking

00:11:19.590 --> 00:11:23.309
long you know like you you kind of get lost with

00:11:23.309 --> 00:11:25.600
it and There's no telling how many times I've

00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:27.940
actually put a knot in my line and just want

00:11:27.940 --> 00:11:30.360
to kick a screaming kid. You know, it's just

00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:32.860
annoying. So it comes in handy. That's what I'm

00:11:32.860 --> 00:11:36.559
trying to say. So yeah, that's the announcement

00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:41.860
is that Stat Stitch, the Stat Stitch podcast

00:11:41.860 --> 00:11:44.240
was not supposed to be a podcast. It was actually

00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:46.419
supposed to be a clothing line that I never got

00:11:46.419 --> 00:11:50.759
around to launching. And here I am kind of soft

00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:53.580
launching it. just to kind of help offset some

00:11:53.580 --> 00:11:56.899
of the cost that I'm accruing while just uploading

00:11:56.899 --> 00:11:59.740
these episodes for everyone. I'm not looking

00:11:59.740 --> 00:12:02.360
for a handout. I'm just looking for some support.

00:12:02.419 --> 00:12:04.500
And if you guys love the shirts and you love

00:12:04.500 --> 00:12:07.240
the way that you love the design and you love

00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:10.200
how it speaks to your spirit, man, of the ER,

00:12:11.259 --> 00:12:13.720
and, you know, you take pride in that, then by

00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.080
all means, man, grab one. You know, grab your

00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:17.940
friends one if you think they would like one.

00:12:18.659 --> 00:12:24.519
I have a bunch of designs that I have and, you

00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.639
know, people love them when I wear them at work

00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:29.000
because I make them for myself when I wear them

00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:31.700
at work and people love them, you know, so it's

00:12:31.700 --> 00:12:35.960
great. Definitely a conversation starter, especially

00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.500
the B -52 crew. That shirt definitely caught

00:12:39.500 --> 00:12:44.340
a lot of attention. But anyways, yeah. So if

00:12:44.340 --> 00:12:47.279
you guys are down with it, please by all means...

00:12:47.340 --> 00:12:49.759
pick them up, pick up a shirt, you know, yes,

00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:52.500
they're a little pricey, but you know, you're

00:12:52.500 --> 00:12:54.960
you're supporting a good cause. I think it's

00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.159
not to get rich by any means. It's just to help

00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.539
help offset some of this. So, guys, thank you

00:13:01.539 --> 00:13:05.259
for listening. And I will be uploading more material,

00:13:05.259 --> 00:13:09.360
you know, sometime next week. We have an exam

00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.159
coming up Tuesday, I believe, of twenty twenty

00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:17.659
six February of twenty twenty six. And so we

00:13:17.659 --> 00:13:21.000
have a test coming up. So yeah, that's where

00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:25.080
the Pete's Cardiac Chapter infection came from.

00:13:25.659 --> 00:13:27.919
Alright guys, that's it. That's all I have for

00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:30.200
now. I hope you guys have an amazing day.
