It funny to watch the expression that alberta ACPs/EMTP get whenever a PCP/EMT call themselves a paramedic. My service even though we are not in Alberta use the Alberta designations. That might have to do with the fact that we serve an indian reserve in Alberta. WE have 2 PCP who are ACoP...

In Alberta they dont have PCPs they have EMR EMT and EMTP. With EMTPs being paramedics if u want to see a alberta paramedic have a seizure have a pcp call themselves a paramedic in front of them. Alberta and Saskachewan I believe still use EMT everyplace else emts are pcps.

I talked with my deputy chief and said for me to try again and remain with the service so I will. For the past four years I have been assisting the EMRs and our 2 EMTs as well as providing scene security until the RCMP arrives on scene. My service is mainly an EMR service as is most of the...

My instructor said I had the best Emergency Scene Management out of my entire class. I have the problem of tunnel vision, I missed the fact that my Pt was going into shock. Prior to this I had 3 practice scenarios 2 were trauma and 1 medical I did OK on the medical but the two other trauma...

I past my written EMR exam part 1 I got 48 out of 50 for a score of 96% part 2 of the written exam I got 81%. While I passed the written I failed the practical which was a trauma. I asked my EMS Chief as to what my status in the department is. He said he'd talk to the town SAO too make that...

Tonight I have to study and learn not to have tunnel vision when it comes to trauma. I had 2 scenarios today and I pooched them both due to tunnel vision and not verbalizing to the instructor what I am doing. I am better at medical. Tomorrow is the written exam in the morning I am confident I...

Here are some words of wisdom Buy low sell high Who dares wins Did I do that.

Yes my service has 2 ambulances with two trauma bags per ambulances. In each of those bags we have Littman Cardiology 3. We got them at the end of last fiscal year when we discovered we had some more money to spend. This year we are probably getting more portable radios with any excess.

Good my service don't require this otherwise there would be hardly anybody left to take call.

It's different because it's a bachelors degree not a diploma. One will have a broader educational background taking the degree as opposed to the diploma. I want to go to MHC to get my degree, One optional course i wouldn't mind taking would either be History or Economics to broaden my...

What about Orange County New York.

As well I've been a member of my service for four years. My other certs beside st johns ambulance standard first aid and CPR C are CHSF HCP CPR and Neonatel resuscitation. As well if it says Patient assist and if you get sued for directly injecting the pt the court will go by how the AOCP is...

If you will notice the header in the profile says Patient assist. Which means you assist the patient You could probably do that without assisting but may be subject to discipline from ACoP for performing outside your scope. It can be found at...

Initially my instructor said epi could be given by EMRs. Then he checked with ACoP and he found that EMRs can only assist.

Thats what our EMRs here in the nwt can do.

My EMR instructor checked with ACoP and EMRs can only assist with the Epi-Pen. He also said the 3 drugs an EMR can administer in Alberta are Oxygen ASA Oral Glucose.
