That was my thinking as well, but she was extremely insistent. Of course, a lecturer could be wrong...I was just wondering if I was missing something that negated the use of the scalpel.

During OB/Gyn class, the lecturer made it a point to instruct us to use shears versus the scalpel that's typically in the pre-packed kit. I understood it to be more for safety than a medical issue. However, as far as I know, we don't typically carry sterile shears. Is there any clear guidance on...

The "why" is always what stumps me. Every part of the medical world complains non-stop that there's no money in medicine - and yet, they keep buying into it more and more. And EMS is a money pit under the best circumstances, so I truly don't know what's actually going on.

We have the "AI" enabled in ESO for PCRs. As mentioned above, it just compiles data from the rest of the chart. Put in that you gave 50mcg of fent, it'll generate "50mcg of fent given via IV". It's absolute garbage.

Perfect. Thank you!

I was required to get NR for BLS about 13 years ago, but let it lapse because I didn't need or care for it. I did maintain my state license. Now I'm wrapping up medic school and was just told by someone anecdotally that I would have to be active NR as BLS to be able to take the ALS test. Can...

92% is considering 'fine'?

I've seen a lot of the 'edgy' patches come and go, and I think it comes down to the fact that the edgy patches are too edgy for the field, so where would they be worn? Nothing wrong with making some more positive designs, and you may even get departments to buy them - or stick to the insider...

Notification?

Absolutely mind-blowing. Why weren't penalties in the contract?

Sorry, I meant to be a bit clearer...I was referring to the "pressing charges". Of course, they should both get the Silver Bracelet Award, but as far as wasting energy and time going to court, I'd fight a drunk over a EDP. A drunk may learn a lesson, but the EDP will still want to continue...

Personally, I'd get more pissed off at the drunk, than at the woman. Drunk is not a mental issue or imbalance...that guy went out and got drunk. His being drunk is not a good excuse to have assaulted or threatened to assault me, next time don't get drunk. Mental illness, though, is rarely a...

I apologize, I misspoke...I was referring to that the last few boardings I've done. I don't currently work for any service, I was just mentioning my experiences of board-and-collars.
