    City Trauma Care

    I’m sorry my brain now hurts after reading this. I don’t know a single medic who would have a lay person continue to stick their finger in a wound to stop the bleeding. As a last resort I’d apply direct pressure but that would be after all other options fail.

    Paratrooper Boots

    Why are you worried about a perfect shine? The minute you get on the truck and start working they are going to get messed up again. Go for a clean, not super dull look and leave it at that. Most boots will get that no problem. I’ve been doing this job sixteen years and never once has a...

    Acute onset of unexplained hypothermia (non-environmental)

    patients with carry permit

    I’m amazed at all the different responses to what to do with a CCW holder and their weapon. If PD isn’t around you transport the patient with it. Everywhere I’ve worked you can’t refuse transport because they have a firearm. I get that firearms can be unsettling to those who aren’t familiar...

    Will AMR DQ me for driving record?

    How to get most out of clinicals

    I’ll echo what akflightmedic said, introduce yourself to the staff on duty and let them know why you’re there and that you’re willing to help with anything. I got a lot of really great experiences because I was willing to help get blankets, change sheets, and assist with the nurses and doctors...
