Just thought it was unnecessary, but got it, thanks guys

Sup guys, Is it ok to write a patient’s full name in your PCR narrative? My partner does that and I’ve never seen that before. For ex., he’d write “dispatched to transport 45 yo male named John Doe...” and continues to address patient using their last name.

Couldn’t you still use those as backboards tho? Just need belts

For BLS, no need to backboard patient though if they are at a SNF and discharging home.

Yes but I have encountered situations where a bed can’t be moved from the wall and bed is very small, so we usually draw sheet but have to get on bed. I was wondering if there was a way to move patient without getting on the bed. I never twist, but I would assume if I were to lift a patient...

So you just side step and move arms only?

Hello, How would you transfer a patient on a backboard to the gurney without twisting your back and with only 2 people available? How would you transfer a patient on a gurney and bed sheet where one person is at the head and one person at the feet onto a bed without twisting back? Thanks

Thanks everyone!

Hey everyone, I meant 9-1-1. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I’m an EMT currently working BLS in the Bay Area and I live in Santa Clara County. Does anyone know the ALS companies specifically in Santa Clara County? And ALS companies in the rest of the Bay Area that hires EMT's? Thanks

No, it won’t. Ambulance companies are not allowed to get your medical records without YOUR consent.

Okay

WHERES THIS?

Are you referring to Progressive Liberty Ambulance? I applied to that one as well and I believe they are in Ridgecrest.

Hello VentMonkey, Thanks for reading some of my posts and trying to help me out as best as you can. On my other posts, I just felt like I needed more information and created this post with more specifics. If that make sense to you?
