Well, in any EMS class the instructors gonna keep saying scene safety. Most people would judt thing, Weapons or combative person etc, but, to me it means, general safety on my scene, if theres power lines down, do you call that a safe scene? i dont. i agree with CAOX3, I might go into an...

that i dont know JT, i really didnt think to check those myself. the medic took her off 02 so i would assume it was fine.

The PT was on a four lead with normal rythym, we gave 02 first by NRB which she did not like and then by cannula. IMHO The CP was caused by a seat belt injury, I'm not saying for sure that's the fact. all of her vitals were normal, the medic did a full trauma assessment, and the only thing she...

welcome, Great on being young. I am also very young, but you'll get a hang of everything.

I think you handled it Fine, i wasnt there so i cant say for sure. But did you keep an eye on vitals the entire transport? We most likely would have picked up a medic. I agree with amberdt03, keep the PT comfortable.

Yeah i dont now why my partners decided to backboard, and no meds were given other than 02 and saline to flush the line

all we knew was she hit one guard rail, when we got on scene the vehicle was in the middle of the road, my guess is that the CP was caused by the seat belt. Here's how we handled it, she was walking when we arrived no complaint of neck pain back pain etc. she walked into the rig, where we...

All she said was that it was a pain in the middle of chest. we didnt know to many details as P.D. had her in custody for nearly 45 Min. BTW we did pick up a medic so i guess it could be interpreted as ALS, ill wait for a few more responses and tell how we handled it

I get you point here my cert ant EMT-b are almost identical, actually its what a CT EMT-b used to be every thing just moved up. Certs should just start at basic, i really dont like how limited i am at my level currently

this was an actual call i got the other day, im going to give you the basic details but ill wait to tell you how we handles it, i want to know how you guys might have handled it. Called to an MVA 5:30 AM. One car One PT. chief complaint of chest pain. upon arrival PT. was ambulatory, very...

Driver definitely should have pulled over unless it was an actual priority 2 or 3. i really dont have any thoughts on the arrest. Ill just leave it at people need to make better decisions

Anyone else notice how alot of "Whackers" like to talk greater about themselves than they actually are. Most people i know call me ant EMT bad sadly i am not yet, I will constantly correct people. I tell a lot of people the differences, because like its been said the general public has no clue...

Looks nice, Kind of what i plan on doing with my car when i get my light permit, just i will only run dash and deck lights with maybe a few in the grill. Some people might call us whackers, But when i was going to calls with my dad and other members of the F.D. more often than not we used our...

I have looked at the converse, But I'm leaning towards 5.11 atac side zips now, i like my current boots. But i really want a dedicated pair for on duty.

unless there is bodily fluid anywhere or any thing that need to be actually cleaned we just sweep the rig out. after a trauma or code, wiped down wash the floor with pine sol. Yes the rig smells like pine for an hour or 2 but it gets the job done. the only thing that gets done after every call...

I blame it on the full moon we had here :) LOL, its actually normal for a Friday or Saturday crew to deal with drunks or combative people. at least here anyway. i was so mad about our final call because we were in the middle of washing the rig.
