With all this talk about furthering our education, and why the states are so far behind, it has lead me to do some thinkin (I know, scary).
How many TMS (Transport Medical Services, cause there ain't no emergency in shuffling pts from the floor to SNF, or the renal roundup. You might have flishy flashes and a woo woo, but thats just a fancy taxi ya got there) are there overseas? And what exactly do they do?
I mean, here in the states, a BLS ambulance crew is used and abused just so the ER can open up a bed, or the uneducated (or ignorant) floor staff can FINALLY get rid of Mrs. Mcgillicuddy in bed 508, cause her son won't be there until 5, and they want her gone NOW, so they check off the box, and call for a taxi. I mean ambulance.
So, my foreign friends, is this a common thing for y'all as well?
And what are the educational requirements for a stretcher fetcher in your country? Further, are their just interfacility/discharge agencies, or does everyone do their fair share?
