How new of an EMT are you?... Some of your nausea could be from the adrenaline dump/nervousness from the call. Regardless if it's from that or just the movement of the boo boo bus you will get acclimated to it in time!!

Trust me I won't be a toolbag! I know and have worked with WAY to many of those

Hey guys been awhile since I've posted!, I'm officially done with medic school now, got my degree and passed NR on cognitive and psycho motor on my first go around! I've worked as a basic for about 2 years (the whole time I was in medic school). Just wondering if you guys had any advice or...

Personally, I had more problems with the AC's than more peripheral veins, I know that's kind of weird. A medic told me to take a tourniquet home and put it on, then close my eyes and feel for my own veins, just to get an idea of how they feel and bounce. After doing that I didn't have problems...

I know this forum is supposed to be supportive and informative, and in many cases it is... but I am almost done with my medic class and getting ready to take my national registry...but i've just been reading through alot of the threads and it makes me mad when i see medics and basics calling...

I dont agree with AJ Hidell, I worked EMS as a basic and I am currently as a medic student, and in my opinion its helped alot in pt interaction and assesment....it helps ALOT in a clinical setting with being comfortable with pt interaction.... the only contradiction is what you do on the box and...

Hey guys this isn't really an ALS post, but I got hired on full time with a local agency and I start tomorrow!! Any tricks on shaking the first day jitters? I gotta get up early but can't sleep! Kinda like clinicals all over again

I got stopped on question 71 and passed! :)

This is extremely interesting!!!! I'm going to do some more research on all of this, and bring it up to my instructors in class to see if they have ever used an application like this in the field... Great job and way to study more in depth than just what they teach you in class!

And yes jwk I know... but they do practice alot.. which is why they are good.. my dad was a combat medic for 10 yrs and my uncle was a parajumper for 8

Civilian medics never have gsw pts? Or gsw pts that bleed out?? What perfect town do u work out where there is never a shooting?

Linuss i agree that starting lines on a 20 yr. Old healthy pt may be easier than a 84 yr old dehydrated one.. but at the same time combat medics are EXTREMELY good at starting IVS seeing as how there patients can be wounded from gsw or something worse.. and if they have been in battle for 8-9...

Thats exactly what I was thinking, I'm not saying my medic is a bad medic because I've worked with him for about 5 months and he is extremely good at what he does... I just didn't agree with how he handled this call.. I'm in medic school right now, and one of my instructors always says, "it's...

Medic didn't check pupils unless he did it in the back of the truck, but.... Once again, never heard him state anything about the pupils

Primary hospital is a stroke center, but I was able to hear the medic talking to the patient while en-route to the hospital... I never heard any commands that would give a sign to him performing even basic stroke scale test

I did a finger stick after vitals.. bgl was 95

Her loc was minimal and was alert and able to respond to commands.. that's what made me question it.. she knew where she was.. day and time.. but her speech was extremely slurred and she had no hx of amnesia(stated by daughter)
