Interesting interview question popped up today... Remove one piece of equipment

I use it a lot... for a patient named Sasha :P
 
Wow! For our calls around here that are bigger (think chest pain, abdominal pain) we get 2 paramedics with a medic and an engine that has 2-4 paramedics on it. For anything bigger (hit by car, shooting, stabbing) they'll send 2 medics with 2 paramedics each.

We've never needed the bench seat for a patient since there is always another medic avalaible.

No in PA we can not administer an epi pen, we can only assist the patient with the use of an epi pen. Just the same with nitro we can not give them the nitro we can only assit them in taking it only after checking the 5 rights.

I was accually mistaken when I said that. I did not know that in PA BLS can carry EPI auto injectors, as long as you have had the correct training. I did not know this so there are cases where in PA you can administer EPI.
