A 911 CALL NO DISPATCHER EXPECTED.

In January 2013, emergency dispatchers in Southern Nevada received a call that would become part of a deeply tragic case.

The caller was not a frightened neighbor or passing witness.

He was a veteran law enforcement officer with roughly two decades of service, reporting a serious incident at his own home before first responders arrived.

The circumstances surrounding the call would soon reveal a devastating situation involving the officer and his family.

What happened inside that home, and what led a longtime law enforcement veteran to make that final call?

Cases like this are reminders that emergency dispatchers and first responders can encounter situations that are difficult to comprehend, even after years on the job.

ONE MOMENT CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING.

Be careful out there. You never know when an ordinary day can turn into a medical emergency.

Radiology trauma is not for the faint of heart. Every day, emergency medical teams encounter patients who have experienced everything from serious falls and vehicle accidents to unexpected traumatic injuries.

Behind every X-ray, CT scan and medical image is a real person, a family and a medical team working to understand the injury and determine the next steps in care.

A reminder to our Fort Bend County community: Stay alert, drive safely and never take your health or safety for granted.

A CRICKET INSIDE SOMEONE’S EAR? Yes, you read that right!

Talk about a serious case of EAR-RITATION!

What started as severe ear discomfort turned into an unexpected medical discovery. A patient arrived experiencing intense irritation, only for doctors to discover a LIVE CRICKET trapped deep inside the ear canal!

Why is this a medical concern?

When insects enter the ear canal, they can cause:

* Sudden pain and irritation.
* Buzzing or scratching sounds.
* Temporary hearing changes.
* Dizziness and discomfort.
* Potential injury to the sensitive ear canal or eardrum.

Medical professionals can safely immobilize and remove insects using appropriate clinical techniques.

Fortunately, the cricket was successfully removed, bringing the patient much-needed relief!

NOW WE HAVE TO ASK…

What’s worse? Finding a cricket in your house or discovering one INSIDE YOUR EAR?

Painful fishhook injury!
Would you know how to properly remove it?

Fishing is a common recreational sport. While serious injuries are uncommon, penetrating tissue trauma involving fishhooks frequently occurs. Most of these injuries are minor and can be treated in the office without difficulty. All fishhook injuries require careful evaluation of surrounding tissue before attempting removal.

After removal of the fishhook, the wound should be explored for possible foreign bodies (e.g., bait). It is usually sufficient to leave the wound open, then apply an antibiotic ointment and a simple dressing. Tetanus toxoid should be administered to persons for whom more than five years has elapsed since their last tetanus booster. Prophylactic antibiotic therapy may be considered for persons who are immunosuppressed or have poor wound healing. Prophylactic antibiotic therapy may also be considered for deeper wounds that involve the tendons, cartilage or bone. Follow-up care should be performed to ensure adequate healing and the absence of infection.

⚠️ VIEWER WARNING: This post shows a severe blistering sunburn.

Six hours asleep on a Port Aransas beach led to a painful lesson about the Texas sun.

At first, the tops of the feet felt completely numb. A few days later, the damaged skin began peeling and large blisters formed. Every step and every accidental touch brought intense pain.

Blistering can be a sign of a second-degree sunburn. Do not intentionally pop the blisters. Keep the area clean and protected, and seek medical care for severe pain, numbness, significant swelling, large blisters or signs of infection.

Sunburn prevention matters. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, reapply every two hours and seek shade during extended time outdoors.

Have you ever experienced a sunburn this severe?
