I thought it was great! I also have probably the most demented sense of humor ever though......

We had to do 10 ER and 10 ambulance. I ended up staying 12 hours in the ER because the place was so slammed that I didn't even notice I had been there 2 extra hours. I did mine in Georgia instead of Colorado and I don't regret it at all. Southern ERs are quite entertaining!

It was just the basic. I want to go to medical school so this whole ordeal kind of freaked me out and made me wonder if I really had what it takes to be a doctor. I'm just really relieved to know that I haven't been wasting my time here at college. I have a review book for the written...

I passed my practicals this morning on the 2nd try! After stressing myself out over this situation I'm glad that it ended well! Now it's on to the written! Thanks everyone for all of your help and suggestions. I think I knew this stuff all along, it was really just about being relaxed.

So I did fail because I didn't splint it. I asked a hypothetical question last night and found out. I also did very well on every trauma scenario I ran through last night. I think our medic instructor just made me so afraid of the fact that basics can't do much I got way too into the priority...

I actually said "I'm assessing his breathing" and I got # of respirations, breath sounds and adequacy all at once from the proctor. Well I guess I know why I failed now. It really helps alot. Now the argument that I heard about whether I passed or failed doesn't make sense....oh well.

I asked what my breath sounds were and he said "shallow and absent on the right side." I but him on a nonrebreather @ 15L to start out with. Then I switched to a BVM when the proctor said the respirations were "agonal." I have a feeling I missed something on airway. I have to come in and...

I clearly remember my instructor saying, "don't bother to try splinting or anything. ALS or a hospital is the only thing that will help." My proctor was someone from a different EMS station. I'm kind of losing confidence in the program that I just went through. Did I mention that 5 of the 9...

I have the 2nd set of vitals. I forgot I wrote them on my hand! BP 98/70 HR 120 R 26 I just realized something. The proctor described them as "agonal" but there's no way if they were 26. We were taught not to splint a flail segment...just put 'em on O2 and drive fast. I don't think...

No I did retest on trauma once already. The first time I failed I figured out why. They guy had a sucking chest wound, I didn't see it, I didn't treat it. I will admit that. I would like to explain what went on during my retest. I honestly think it will just make me feel better by...

I just took my practical today and aced everything but my trauma. I was wondering if any of you guys knew what the policy was on letting students know why they failed. I had the entire sheet memorized and there was a long deliberation about whether I failed or not going on in the next...
