Everyone makes mistakes. There is no perfect EMT, there is no perfect Paramedic as there is no perfect Nurse. For christ sake there is no perfect Medic either. You should have called the Ambulance right away, even if the vital signs where fine you should have told her that she needed...

Congratulations. He gave you an oportunity, now dont screw it and go study more. :P

Why on earth would a paramedic make someone with chest pain try to walk? :unsure:

Well, I've never seen an ambulance with only one EMT on it. But since he was so great, I guess the pt just got fine. :P

Hilarious. I actually had a partner, that once on a car accident had to go sit in the back of the truck because she couldnt see the blood.

I used to get more action during day. But I prefer to take runs during night. I allways liked night and the city lights, and watching the Ambulance lights reflected in the windows and signs on the streets, it makes it all worth. :D

Congratulations. Before I retired, there was just a new kid in the FH and his first run was with me. For his surprise, it was hes aunt. Its not that simillar, I just thought it would be interesting to bring up. Anyway, congratulations and I hope you two get along well. ;)

I know that there is a surgery you can make to help with the nosebleeds. About making your vessels stronger, I have no idea.

It's true what you say about COPD. The thing is, im supposed to follow the protocol. And I was told to never administer too much oxygen on a patient with this patology, and if the patient uses oxygen at home, never to give more than the amount that is prescribed by the medic. Thats why I stated...

That idea of giving oxygen just for the hell of it is wrong, what if the patient is intoxicated with Paraquat? What if the patient suffers from COPD? In case of Paraquat you could actually kill the patient for giving him O2, and in the COPD you could cause him respiratory distress.

I was nervous when I got my certification. Well to be honest i wasnt, its really very simple, and I'm shy but I still yelled at the dummy as if my life depended on it. Guess that at the moment of the exam our adrenalin levels increase and we forget that all the "acting" is extremely embarassing :D

Hmm.. I'm not sure how this works. What if the patient is a child instead of an adult. Does it adjust the pressure of the compressions? Lets see, we can't allways aply the same pressure to every patient, does the machine calculate it accurately? ;)
