Help the fng emt-b ;)

So many negative comments on this forum lol. Not saying I'm sensitive, its just rude.
 
-Learn what ALS equipment is called/used for/located on your truck.
-Do more than what you're asked to (but don't go outside your scope, or do things to the patient without the medic's OK).
-Learn how to lift properly, and do some strength training. I hate having a partner that can't lift.
-If you're working a medic/basic truck: don't question the medic on scene. If the medic is doing something phenomenally stupid (and you better KNOW that it's absolutely contraindicated), then phrase your objection as a question, and out of earshot of the patient, if possible. e.g. "Did you want me to get you an occlusive dressing for that?"

Not negative, just honest. If someone wants to have their butt kissed or their ego stroked, they do not need to be in this field.

No need, been doing it for years, tnx for the positive comments. I really appreciate it

Yeah....either you're a liar or just have a hard time keeping your experience straight. Which is it?
 
Why "ramp up" to MD?

It isn't a job ladder. From paramedic to MD would be a good point to jump.
And EMT's are interfacing with nurses all the time, receiving, picking up, dropping off, sometimes during transports.
 
The last word

to be honest, he's probably one of the first ones I'd go to for advice, and one of a shortlist on this forum I'd let come near me if I had a medical emergency.
