http://www.firehouse.com/topic/training/ohio-board-allows-responders-draw-blood So how do you feel about this? Personally I havn't came to a decision if am for or against. Has anyone had an experience with this before?

For your questions yes for pain managment and protocols.I have transported several pts. such as this.I'am still trying to find in my post where I suggest places here in the US don't have these protocols in place.

Could you post a link to this story.Am still not convinced that ever pt needs an ambulance from one hospital to the other hospital.Sorry I know in your eyes that makes me a simple minded ffmedic.Am going to go sit in the corner now.

Yes i do believe in replantation.Like I said if the bleeding is stopped and no other problems exist what is going to the other hospital in an ambulance going to achieve.Tell me exactly what you would do for this pt on a transfer that would cause a change in the outcome.If by the second part of...

What info do we have to know the hospital didn't do this.The article is to sketchy to make any assumptions.To assume I made my first post because of a simple screen name is unreasonable.I haven't posted in awhile and forgot as a fire based medic I have nothing to contribute as such.Oh well...

I'am sure the news has embellished the story for more than it is.I really don't see the problem if the pt. was stable and bleeding controlled why couldn't he take a taxi.

We had it in our protocols here at the dept. I work at.We never used it so we removed it.We are located in Kentucky.

For you'll thats taken the WALS class what did you think of it? I'am taking it in March and was wondering what all will be discussed.

JPINFV,Kentucky info is wrong.We don't have an intermediate.We did just create an emt-advanced.

After reading the posts I think I will chime in.Our biggest problem is right here in the posts.We all know there is a problem.We just can't agree what it is.That is where I fell we are getting into trouble.How can we lobby for change when we can't agree among ourselves what needs to be...

First,what was you sent home for?Get back to me and let me know.I will then tell you your next step.Also find out what your policy and procedures are for filing a grievance

Let me add this about Gall's.If you live out of state and are planning to make a road trip to the showroom here in Kentucky don't waste your time and gas.

I think this line of work is safe.If medicare and medicaid keeps paying.Of coarse this money will one day run out because nobody will be left working to pay for it.

Being from Ky this hits close to home.I pray the Lord will help her through this.

I never had 15-20 books and I think my class was fine.

For the short and sweet answer,do it the way you were taught.

Yeah what they said.

I went to it right after medic school.I thought it kind of brought the whole picture together.I would recommend it.

From just reading,no i would not transport als.Granted every pt. has the chance to have something go wrong.I just hate the idea of having everything als just to be on the safe side.If the pt. needs als am all for it.If the clinical picture shows they don't than don't. KEVD18 I get what you are...

That is what i was getting at.Thanks for placing it in that context.Much better worded.
