I'm hardly the most sensitive person, and not Asian, but really, "she was some kind of Asian"? I'm sure there's a better way to phrase that.

My second call (doing my ride along) was 99y/o that fall. I was thinking it was somthing that I could have fun with. No the man fall while taking dirt out of his back yard from digging a hole.

97 Y/O M during my ride alongs is my best. He was A&O but having such a difficult time breathing that he was hard to understand.

hey! I resemble that !...
Actually, I can say I have transported the oldest patient known to EMS. I transported a real Mummy not mommy from the museum to a CT scan in the hospital. She is estimated to be about 3,000 years old. Died from Tb.
Pretty neat.. skin intact and toenails

I don't actually know, since my oldest never seem to speak English or have families that can or will tell me anything...
ClarkKent: Maybe you and I have the same patient. Oldest that I know was 99. And still able to walk, mentally alert, and generally pretty sharp. I thought he couldn't be more than 80 at first.

"She was Asian" would've worked as well... "Some kind of Asian" just sounds a little... not sure how to describe it, but wrong.

HIPAA violation!
HIPAA violations cost $10,000 in Florida from what my supervisor has been preaching, however because I like ya I will keep the violation quiet for a measley $8,000!

Rid, was it hard getting billing info and hx?
Probably just an invoice...
My eldest was 108, took her on three medivan trips and had nice conversations.

I do not bill for services rendered, nor do I collect or store personal information; therefore, no violation.
Ethical violation...perhaps. HIPAA...not a chance.
Cheers!

So, likely some type of Asian descent?

Not sure how it works in FL, but up here that information is fine to share as long as it is between Healthcare workers and used in a training format. So, is there anything we can learn from that?
And, for those in AB that would disagree with my thoughts; HIA, as of this writing, does not apply to "Abulance Attendants" as defined by the Emergency Health Services Act.
