Doh!!!

So I got my first 3/5 on a clinical eval that was directly caused from something stupid I did.

I had a 9 yo M w/ Anaphalaxis. Mottling to the face and neck, significant edema to the mouth, unable to swallow or speak. After hitting him with the epi, I went looking for IV access. I couldn't see or feel anything through those dang gloves, sooooo......I stripped them off, tossed them in the trash, and continued treating my patient. Got the IV and didn't even think twice about it, until I wil pushing the Benedryl, and then it was like....DOH!!!!!!:wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

That sucks... but its better to be gigged and REALLY learn this now, than to "forget" on the final exam.

That is why you are a STUDENT!

I was a test proctor for EMT-I and EMT-P students and slipped in the question "Are you forgetting something?" to keep from failing a couple people who were nervous when they forgot BSI and I knew that they knew better.
Chin up not all testers are mean like that.

I also hoped you spelled Benadryl correctly on the chart as well.

Learn from it. BSI is your friend. After a while you'll get where you can't do your work w/o gloves.B)
