I can't wait till I get an OB call.. I think it'd be awesome to deliver a baby.. People tell me I'm crazy for that :) I guarantee if anyone I knew read this, they would be able to identify me instantly, lol

Starbucks is best.

Usually the next business day..

But, seriously. I think I might call for PD once I realized there was ETOH and the agitation. If it's too late for that it's possible that I might work with my partners and hold him down until there's a cop?

Again, run and push the panic button on the radio :unsure: :)

hahah, thank you for that.

Do you really need to use a pediatric stethoscope for kids? I've never had to switch from the littman liteweight..

Wouldn't stopping be negligence?

I don't think I'd ever stop if I already have a patient, regardless to whether or not they are stable.

lol do you really carry a taser with you?

The littman lite weight stethoscope is great for lung sounds and BP's.. It's not that expensive either..

**Unresponsive** The pt has a pulse, but isn't breathing due to an airway obstruction- They get CPR with a finger-sweep.. Can't the trauma from the compressions cause the patient to go into cardiac arrest?

That would be quite scary... I'd be pretty much hoping the cop would do something and I'd probably push the panic button on the radio..

That's pretty much the reason I asked the question-- I wouldn't want to hurt my back because I attempted to lift someone with a toothache...

True......

what do you think of having someone with something really minor like a toothache walk?

I'm not going to comment on whether or not tasers should always be used, because I honestly don't know... It probably was hypoglycemia, and the shock caused his heart to stop.. Can someone tell me what OC is? and shouldn't they monitor people in jail?

Makes sense to me :) When the pt is in the ER they will be doing plenty of walking.

I have always been taught to round up--I actually believe the EMT textbooks says that, not that it would actually make a difference..
