Hello everyone, how many chances does an EMT-B get at the psychomotor exam? I failed some stations because of the bag-valve mask seal, it was really stupid... I just wondered how many retries you officially get? I only have to test off on two, but the proctors did not allow retakes at this...

Did you ever figure out a diagnosis for the ED or nah?

Let there be light shed on this thread! (bumping the post)

Another reason I want to wait is the responsibility and maturity, not for me... for future patients as well, I don't feel quite ready to become a paramedic for school difficulty, funds, and maturity.

It's true, but it's my desire. Although you don't have to become a nurse to become a doctor, you have to do premed consisting of chemistry, organic chemistry, calculus, physics, biology, biochemistry and much more. Have a great basis and understanding in this then you can take the MCAT and excel...

I still think this is a hell of a steal so I am bumping your post for you. Good luck with the sale.

Our dispatch is stupid. Dispatch: Medic 1 respond to (address) ground level fall 27 year old male patient code blue. Medic 1: "Medic 1 confiring, ground level fall (address) is not breathing? Dispatch: Negative Medic 1, ground level fall.. Some of our other EMT's listen on the county radio...

Great recommendation, I personally forgot about getting med control to talk to them.

No other medications tbh I am not familiar with enough, but yes the answer was COPD and ultimately headed towards respiratory failure at some point. Progressively continuing to smoke given the scene appearance, and that he happened to be on the porch when it happened. Well done, great job.

Gotcha, if you could convince him to go to the ED and you were calling ahead. What is his condition?

Chief complaint is difficulty breathing, he can speak partial sentences but has to stop to catch his breath. He does purse his lips when exhaling, onset of symptoms were when he was sitting on his porch. Temperature is 100, he does not take any meds other than his portable oxygen. 12 lead shows...

I really like this idea too, in my state I believe you can request 3 extensions approximately 3-6 months each extension... Contact the clerk for more info.

I highly recommend hiring a traffic attorney if you don't want it on your record at all. If it is your first offense many traffic attorneys can get you off the hook for your first time, and get it dismissed. Say you decide to attend "Alive at 25", a local class for us you can get your ticket...

Scenario is now up and rolling, ALS/BLS https://emtlife.com/threads/basic-life-support-question-of-the-day-medic-27-3.46171/ Question #3, moved.

BLS Scenario Scene #3) 8/18/2017 I see what you are going for with that statement, so in terms continuing this scenarios of the day... Should I keep in going in this thread? I think someone expressed their opinion about this dominating the BLS Discussion. Any ideas?

The primary reason for it going away to my knowledge was due to the rate of failure. If you go too far you puncture the heart...
