third day on the job and i've already seen so much! I can't even express how awesome this job is and how great everyone has been toward me.

possible hip fracture (which it was) patient which a tricky extrication was a my first patient. I actually got to use the line today is my first day when the son asked about his father and he laughed and said I looked like I knew what I was doing so extra encouragement has gone a long way in just these 12 hr shifts.

That's great. Remember this feeling and when you have rough days in the future think back on days like this.

Edit: My vision is blurry and I can't really focus on reading, but whatever.

JUST happened today.
"Yeah, he was ambulatory at the scene."
"Uh... dude. He has a lac from the middle of his forehead to the side of his face... and.. is his arm broken? He's got severe bruising on his abdomen too..."
"So? He was ambulatory, it was an MCI we had to do it."

By the way, there were only two injured. Jesus chriiist. Some emts.
 
So.... What's the problem?

The firehouse was right next door, with another fully stocked ambulance and crew sitting inside.

Oh, and the fact that the guy had a freaking cervical fracture under x-ray. He may have been ambulatory, but letting him WALK into the ER with absolutely nothing on...

I'm just very frustrated with some of what I'm seeing.

A fractured collar bone isn't bad at all. I've had patients walk into the ER holding their own IV bag with a fractured arm (although it did have a splint).

But wouldn't a broken clavical be a fractured collar bone? A cervical fracture would be somewhere in his neck/upper spine. (Not that I think a LBB and c-collar does squat for a patient, because I don't.)

Whoops. Complete fail on my part, I read clavicle and not cervical.
