lost his nerve? From reading the flurry of excuses in mixed patterns, this may be a case of having lost his nerve. It does happen and from what I've seen over the years, it's generally in a situation where retirement is close or family suddenly becomes more real. The risks of the job becomes...

Would going back to do run sheets after your employment has been terminated create a HIPAA issue? HMMMM...pondering this one. :unsure:

Mike is a good man. He's just recently returned to the area after a stint in another part of the country. Hope his recovery is quick and complete. Prayers go out to he and his family.

Thoughts and Prayers So very sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and yours.

Holy Cow! We get it..you're smarter than the rest of the world and the U.S. must burn because it'll just never measure up! For cryin out loud, stop the pay-attention-to-me diatribes. Making a real contribution does not have to include constant raging frustration. It's so unhealthy. Please...

I agree. Only those who have recently worked or work currently in a different system have anything to say worth listening to IMHO. I've had a few visitors to my classroom from other places around the globe. They don't seem to convey the same anti-American opinions as some here in our own...

Step downs have been around for 10-15 years here. A number of our hospitals created them to curb the nonemergant flow into the main ER area.

Cool! I always wondered how a busy person could fit in actue illness and sudden injury.......just put it on the schedule! I can finally plan to trip and break something now. That's such a relief! ^_^

Sure it would! When people do something in their spare time, the gift is really a gift worth having too. In the mean time, while you are busy healing from surgery, hop on over to your nearest community college and take an A&P course so you will be more prepared when Basic class begins.

How about a more solid background in science, including A/P? You will gain a whole lot more from stacked certs with a good foundation. Add a cert here and there as you go and watch the light go on! I suggest you go that route if you really want to feel like you're learning.

Do so few come from accredited programs? Expectations for clinical rotations and internship evaluations is quite extensive.

Your story sounds like a couple of co-workers and the experience they had some 10-12 years ago. EMS workers are sometimes endangered working in some parts of Detroit, especially after dark. It is rare but, it does occasionally happen. As I recall, the crew was held at gunpoint and prevented from...

The history is not "her" medical history but, as a treating physician, it may be a piece of useful inofrmation when found in a patient chart. Not necessary to put it on your trip sheet.

Well, if one lives here, we're a research area with 5 (OMC/Oakland/Wayne State/U of M and MSU) medical schools alone, in about a 100 mile radius. There is oportunity for science majors. I'm pretty confident that this is not the only area in the country like ours. An undergrad will get a job if...

There isn't a thing wrong with wanting to remain in the sciences even if med school is not part of the picture. If science is where you want to be, stick with that. It's an employable field that pays fairly well. Oh, and med schools still consider EMT as a door ajar. There are sooooo many premed...

Well...as member of the uneducated providers club, which is what some people seem to think the U.S. is; perhaps we had better stick to over treating until we be schmarter ;) TGIF...have a good weekend :)

SOOOOO, Dispatch gave him a call which involved a live human being "after" this? Are ya sure ya turned in evvvverybody who needed a wake up call? I'm dyin here...lol
