I have one due to hearing loss, best thing ever.

All patients in their right level of consciousness have a right to refuse. Not having her sign a release was pretty stupid. Let's remember they came across this, they were not dispatched. She refused all care, how is that abandonment?

Actually, once you were able to move the chair, it was time to move the chair. How would it be to soon?

In my town, yes. I respond off duty quite often to unresponsive etc if I'm close, but it is my squad I'm working with. My pager picks up other towns traffic and I guess if they were in front of my I would do something, but I wouldn't go searching for their patient. I would guess they have their...

I think any CPR would be better than no CPR. If this guy had a chance at all and it was due to something besides a major trauma I would avoid mentioning I was an EMT, but dang, I'd risk my license to try. It isn't like it wasn't intentional that whoever was intoxicated and on scene and...

If you want the why, instead of just the solution, I would highly suggest A&P 1 and 2 Or maybe even becoming a nurse or medic.

The er doc really likes it when we send one ahead. Or have a strip in our hand as we walk in. I learned during clinical to do all three. They had me do the 12 leads then I did ekgs in the er as it was what they did during down time.

We also have a Zoll. It is awesome. If course we have to start manually and get it set up but it is sure nice for freeing up hands and keeping quality up

And as am EMT myself? I have been taught how to do ekgs, 12 leads and we do 3 leads and include the strips in our paperwork. :)

Actually, they may have wanted it for their paper work as they had a pt they couldn't find a pulse on speaking in full sentences . They only asked for a copy, they never said they needed it for medic school. If that is what they wanted it for they could find 5,000,000 of them online. If you...

Press until you hear the click noise silly! I always hated doing cpr on the foam dummies and then the dummies that clicked. I was finally told, you will break ribs.

I ran my first 911 response, with an experience EMT there backing me up if needed within 2 hours of my state certification.

I am currently looking into both. I can obtain my paramedic in one year, only prerequisite being my EMT. Yes it is a fast track program, 4 hours a day, some Saturdays. For me to get my RN, I need one year of perquisites before starting the 2 year program. If I choose the Paramedic...

Its called food. Meat. You can eat a deer. Its called venison

It never hurts to add with belly pain : Last time they pooped Last period for females. You won't believe how many times older people can't poop and they have belly pain from it. Also on a geriatric patient, altered status with negative stroke signs, normal bgl, ask family about history...

Because it is a fire department and they like sirens?

We just took them off our truck about 2 months ago. They are still in protocol, they do have their place, but I believe they had only been used once.

I didn't on trauma and got 43 out of 43 points. Its about proper usage.

I had 7 stations on my EMT b skills. I passed them all first try. I did NOT use o2 on any of my pts. While they said you can fail by not using appropriate O2 therapy, I felt not using O2 was the right therapy. My medical was chest pain, previous heart attacks. I immediately did the basic...
