Hey Everybody
I'm in my third day of training as an EMT basic, and learning a lot. My mindset has changed from thinking that an EMT will be doing the same tasks I've done on as a volunteer firefighter, but i'm starting to get the impression that the paramedic is more like batman and you are more like robin, purpose is to make their job easier and stay on their hip getting them what they need.
Does anybody have any tips, advice or experience to share, things that they do which makes your paramedic happier with your performance. for instance i think I'm going to keep a piece of duct tape on my leg to record vitals from now on. i had them on my glove but when the paramedic had asked me what they were while doing paperwork later, i had already thrown them away which didn't go over to well.
Any advice you guys have would be appreciated
