Abandonment through and through, and a negligent transfer of care to top it off.

Does anyone currently own Capnography; king of the ABC's.What did you think of the book? And, would you recommend this book or any other books on the subject?

I agree with JP. We wont be able to advance as a white collar job until we break away from the post-secondary training that we receive now. Whether it has an immediate effect on medics now or not, making the jump towards an AA program will definitely help us out as a profession in the long...

Perhaps this book is what you're looking for. This should entail most complaints, differentials, tx modalities, etc. from a medic's standpoint. The Street Medic's Handbook 2nd edition.

These were two of my favorite books that I used during medic school. 1) Streetmedic's handbook 2nd edition 2) Rapid interpretation of EKG's by Dale Dubin

1) I would continue with full treatment as the DNR is now void on the count of the responsible party with valid paperwork stating she does not want the DNR/DNI to be respected. 2) Continue attempting to persuade Pt. by all possible means. Attempt acquiring consent to treat MONA/FONA. However...

All V/s stable, hx of anxiety, recent argument with boyfriend. It appears the lights are shining on anxiety in this case. I would snag etco2, a 12 lead, and monitor her sat while making an attempt at coaching her to relax and calm down. Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using Tapatalk

I'd be very excited to see an increase in our curriculum for medic nationally in the US. Particularly in CA. Perhaps having an educational course instead of a "training" program will help move this career away from being recognized as simply a stepping stone to OTHER healthcare professions.

How do you like your Ipad? I've been considering buying one, however, I can't decide!

Does ayone have a link to any official talk about this subject? Thanks, Ramathorn Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using Tapatalk

This pt deserved a full assessment and not a lazy one. Not placing this pt on an ecg or spo2 is pure laziness! Obviously it is not easy to say what did or did not occur or what the media simply chose to report; however, hopefully, the family received some sort of instructions on what to do had...

nremt-p 80 questions. Felt as if I failed. Results posted 10 hours later with a passing score.

Thanks for all of the feedback guys. I ended up continuing C-spine precautions on the notion that the Pt was already on a back board with a c-collar and a terribly MacGyvered version of a head bed. I felt uneasy removing him from spinal precautions based on the report given by the Dr and the...
