Thanks for all the replies guys. We don't charge for refusals here. And with any diabetic refusal we always make sure they got a meal prepared before leaving so that wasn't going to be an issue. Just providing OJ and a meal instead of glucose would have definitely been an option also...

Hey everyone. Did a quick search but couldn't find any information regarding this. I've been a medic for a year and been in EMS for 4 years. I recently had a call for altered mental status. Find the pt to be AOx2, just slightly confused and a little slow to answer complex questions...

The CBRNE training is Chemical, Biological, radiological and nuclear explosives training. Red Flag Regulation regarding Patient Identeity Theft. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the replies, guys. The Red Flag training is not HIPPA itself, it is some policy regarding HIPPA- not sure myself, but I tried Googling it together and had trouble finding anything. I'll see if I can find a link to explain the training better. I'll call LSTI tomorrow, thanks a...

I understand the medic program isn't going to be as thorough or beneficial to me as getting a degree in emergency medicine- however, my main goal is to get on as a firefighter. Therefore- I find it time consuming to put two years into a degree ontop of the degree I am pursuing now when I will be...

I am currently an EMT working on a pay-per-call FD. As for working toward a degree, I intend to continue after recieving my medic to get at least an associates in emergency medicine. The college I will be taking the medic course through offers a program to take me from certification to a degree...

I intend on starting my medic before the end of the year. My two options are: 1: 13 month program, two days a week 1800-2200 and some Saturdays. 2: 6 month program, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, academy style. Being unemployed (looking for work as a basic or a basic/firefighter- unable to...
