My Caruncula lacrimalis hurts?
The part right near the nose started to hurt. Before this my right eye just started to tear at random, and i didn’t know why. Now it’s giving me a pain can’t describe it though.. If you guys need to know what the Caruncula lacrimalis is here’s a picture – http://www.anatomyatlases.org/firstaid/images/eyeA.jpg – it shows what and were it is. If anyone has any idea what’s going on let me know.
Thanks.
Wow, I like that question. I have never had someone tell me their caruncle hurts. A likely cause could be an in-turned lash in this area or just overall dryness with a transferred pain to the caruncle. If you don’t see a lash rubbing your eye funny, the first thing I would try is just artificial tears or rinsing drops for relief. I would also use a warm compress for some relief. I would say if that doesn’t help I would say see an eye doctor, we have microscopes that we can look at the spot and see what’s going on there. Also that nasal corner is where the puncta or tear drainage is- that can get infected or have a lash in it. good luck
In EMS when are you really real?
when in Emergency medical services can you really say you are real? is it after that first firstaid course? or after your first save a life expirience? when you get that first measley little pay check? or when your told to be happy you can serve… and your not getting a check…(forced volunteers) or when you answer your first real mci on your vol. pager? when you get your name in the paper? when you graduate EMT? when you come back to the ambulance bay covered in emmisis and excrament and blood? when are you really considered real?
The day I stepped onto the ambulance, with my shiny new gold patch (paramedic) and a brand new Basic partner, and I realized I was the most knowledgable and experienced person on that ambulance that day. That was scary, but that made it real for me.
The day I had to watch an elderly woman die in my ambulance (because she had a DNR) and I watched her HR fade from 60 to 30 to 0, and I had to physically restrain my partner from starting resuscitation. That made it real, too.
The day I took a patient who was frightened and in pain, and I made her comfortable, calmed her down, and by the end of the transport, she was laughing with me. That made it real, too.
It's not one monumental experience; it's the little ones that turn you from a brand new EMT into an experienced and confident one. EMS is a hard profession; your coworkers generally treat you like poo until they realize that you won't quit when things get tough. Over time, though, both you and your coworkers realize you are here to stay, and that's when you are an "real" EMT.
Drivers – Do you have an effective First-Aid box ??
I agree, you would ensure that all the safety devices are in place before you drive a car. But does that guarantee your safety ?
I have found a first-aid box and hope you'll find it as much helpful by just clicking the link below:
http://www.ampminsure.org/auto-firstaid.html
i don't use that First-Aid box persay, but I DO have a pretty elaborate kit in the trunk of my car from Sam's that ended up costing me around $25… so far i haven't had to use it yet, but I'm confident that if the need arose, i'd be well suited!

Crazy dreams What do they mean?
I keep having dreams that I am having sezuirs what does this mean. Also have dreams that when I have these no one cares and they leave me there where I'm having them. Also have dreams with blood in them and I'm trying to give firstaid or someone is trying to hurt me.
To dream that you a seizure, suggests that you need to have more control in your life.
Best earthquake survival kits?
I want to prepare my family in case there is a huge earthquake . I know the basics,battery radio,batteries,firstaid kit,matches,canned foods,can opener,extra clothes,blankets,I even thought of having extra bags of dog and cat food for my pets.Any more suggestions? My main concern is what are the best containers to store water in? You know ones that won't collapse too easily if something should fall on it? I want to keep these containers outside in our shed since we do not have a garage. We live in the desert where the temp can get upto 120 degrees in the summer.Would this water be drinkable and safe to drink? whatever is left that won't evaporate that is,and how often should I change it out?To whoever answers,thank you very much.

They have lots of good stuff including barrels for water. The water in the shed should be fine in one of their blue barrels. But you may want to refill it once in a while so it taste better if you need it.
You should consider a gun and lots of ammo. If not then maybe a bow and arrow and some arrows. Likely you will not need it in the desert for New Orlean type looters, but you may need a meal if it goes on for a while.
Always a knife, saw, rope and a striker for a fire.
You may want a large tarp in the desert to create a shady spot to sleep if the house is wrecked.

what is the best thing to do about a brown recluse spider bite?
ok my friend got a spider bite by one i wanted to help him.
http://z.about.com/d/firstaid/1/7/l/6/-/-/SpiderBiteChileanRecluse3_CDCHaroldGScott.jpg
The brown recluse spider bite needs to be treated by a doctor. The usual medicines required are oral antibiotics, steroids, and pain meds. The recluse bite will cause necrosis (rotting of flesh). The damage is done by the enzymes secreted by spider's fangs. Our bodies cannot process this enzyme and the flesh will rot until the enzyme's potency subsides. This is not at all like the poison from the Black Widow.
I can't believe you asked this question just now, because I just killed a brown recluse less than 2 minutes ago! I live in the southern US and we have them in great numbers here.
