Saving lives with my new Droid Incredible
On any given night, I am one of only a handful of Level One trauma nurses on duty in the entire state of North Carolina.
When the chopper flies in, it is my care that that patient is coming to. I will be the one to coordinate the care of the physicians, trauma surgeons, respiratory services, neurosurgeons. I will be the guy hanging up IV drips that put you in a coma while a Doc shoves a breathing tube down. You might not like it, but it will save your life.
The Android OS is critical to my work. Here is how:
A miscalculation can mean having to cut another piece of wood to some people, or have to drive the long way around, or even lose some money. A miscalculation for me means life and death. A mere decimal place means a patient gets 100x the dose of Heparin and bleeds to death out of his eyes. I rely on on INFUSION CALCULATOR in Android Market to make sure this does not happen. If that Potassium runs a little too fast the vein feels like it is on fire. It is vital that I calculate correctly every time.
Como esta? Sorry, I only speak English, but GOOGLE TRANSLATOR allows me to use pretyped, closed ended questions to speak with people who speak other tongues, and with the touch of a button, my patients are amazed that my phone can speak to them in an understandable robotic voice. This serves me well until the interpreter gets on the scene to get the nitty gritty details of how they got that gunshot wound.
Unfortunately, the mytouch 3G's molasses speeds costs me precious seconds that mean the difference of life and death. Waiting on the infusion calculator to boot up can seem like minutes, when I function in a world of seconds. The Droid Incredible's Snapdragon processor will save lives if you put it in my hands.
