The holy grail of pens smears, smudges, runs and bleeds when it gets wet, cant make a decent copy through carbon paper and is hard to get out of clothes when the soft ink cartridge gets smushed
I've met some medics and EMTs, who seemed to subscribe to "ABC" - "ambulate before care"
"You're chest hurts? Okay, how about your legs? No? Okay, follow me."

When was the last time you had a pt who was blue, diaphoretic and breathing 30 times a minute with a SpO2 of 100%
Oh crap, I forgot about those. For some reason we keep getting white ones, which all females know can be an issue. I only wear them to the gym.

Except those people usually have a low SpO2. The SpO2 is being miscalculated, but it is still low.
How about fat guy in a heat wave who drinks colloidal silver?

Pens.......
I am left handed too and those are the only pens I can use. Standard ballpoint pens are my nightmare.

I don't believe those are intended for self-congratulation. They're supposed to improve the status of the field/profession by providing an opportunity to advertise and, in the hospital setting, to get token recognition from management and people in other professions.
In practice, it seems to be either an opportunity for self-congratulation or the only time EMS service management pretend to care about their employees.

"Aw, didn't you pass your doctoring examinations?". (Heard both as an EMT and a nurse. Three different instructors asked me why I was in their nursing college instead of the medical school, and it wasn't my sparkling intellect).
46young, out of curiosity where do you work?
Where I work, and from what I understand the rest of the country, oxygen administration is a BLS skill that does not require prompting from ALS. I'm interested in how other states and counties work because I know my department is a little out there considering our size and call volume.
