I was not trying to impress anyone. I've been trying to convey that I was following specific instructions this whole time. 100% means I followed them correctly. The rest was to prove that I didn't deserve to be spoken to like an idiot as many have done on this thread. Sticking up for yourself is...
Except that attitude wasn't displayed. I conceded that I made errors in the survey, recognized the study was not complete, and tried to convey that I was aware previous studies were relevant but that my teacher specified only wanting responses gathered by us for the assignment. I was very...
Thanks for trying to help sack jears. These fellas just chose not to understand I was following specific instructions from my instructor.
I ended up with enough responses and got 100% on the assignment, a 95.59% for the third semester, and a 4.0 for the year. I guess I did something right.
So then your issue is with the assignment. If I haven't made it clear already, I recognize the existence and relevance of previous studies. We were told to gather our own unique responses on a chosen topic and analyze them.
I genuinely appreciate your response. I was not trying to disrespect the veteran folks in the field. My push back was the insulting way in which many went about it. I practice common curtesy but respect is earned in my opinion, not a given.
In regards to the assignment, I really think there...
Or to assume the expectations and requirements of the assignment. This one happens to fall into the "hastily created to meet course requirements" on both the teacher and student side. Given more time and resources and had the assignment laid out more stringent guidelines the survey would have...
That is exactly what your statement implied. I am actually going above and beyond what was required by posting the survey on this forum and gathering answers from medics in other states and regions. We were told to just survey our local departments.
I think this is part of the disconnect with...
I've never had less than a 93 average in any of the didactic sections along with perfect marks in my field work all year long.
Requesting sources of studies he's claiming exist so that he can belittle me on an Internet thread is not asking much at all.
If you don't fit into the survey, do...
Those are all fantastic questions to raise. They would probably be the follow up questions to the survey I presented. The survey was an initial gauge of current use and successes. The data is available so why not consider it and then determine if we need to further look into the medications...
I apologize for using jovial language. I thought this would be a light hearted forum where I could gather some data for a paper. I was unaware I would receive such a lambasting from the worlds smartest medics. Glad I don't have to work with folks like you.
My topic and questions were approved...
I've already stated why I chose the topic so if you know more than the ER doctors I observed then good on you bud.
I've already stated it was my error I left out a zero option.
I've already stated the questions meet the requirements for the assignment. My teacher who has completed his...
Thank you for stating your opinion! I'll add it to the responses. You could have just taken the survey and hit the "strongly disagree" option for the last question and saved yourself some time.
The goal is to gather the rate at which medics have used narcan diagnostically, if they've seen success, and their opinion on protocols encouraging its use more in that fashion. It's for a paper that I need to write for school. The teacher likes the students to think of new ideas or issues that...
Too much effort =dog[poop]? Make up values and cheat on my assignment instead? Great logic. Are you one of those lazy medics?
The assignment is to gather opinions on an EMS topic to spark conversation so that we can continue to improve our profession. My topic and the four questions fulfill the...
Hey captain obvious, Im not saying I disagree with doing the assignment. I'm saying I don't have the time or the energy to conduct an extensive research study worthy of being published.
