My, my, my, people are testy around here this evening, aren't they? I'm just the EMT, not the whole hospital. I'm glad you guys are, though. Makes me feel safe and secure.

In regards to whether it's pertinent or not, there are conditions that exist more often in some races than others, and even some tests. The traditional calculation for glomerular filtration rate under calculates the level for people of African ancestry and has to be corrected for that.
Yeah, gotta nail that eGFR before you hit Main St.
And it has no bearing on your assessment or treatment.
Agreed. I do not rewrite that I performed a 12-lead unless it makes a difference. I already wrote the details in my interventions. If it's not listed, it is presumed to be normal. Furthermore, the 12-lead is uploaded on page 5 for them to see.Personally, I do not re-write anything that was already documented elsewhere, unless it is an important piece of information that is critical to the patient presentation or response to treatment that I am trying to describe in the narrative
The way you guys are talking it seems like you put every detail and bit of history in your pcr. Unless it's pertinent to the call at hand (ie sob with hx of asthma and takes albuterol atrovent ect) it generally doesn't get included.
Just because their black and sickle cell mostly affects blacks has little to nothing to do with their fever and back pain today...so??? And if it did WHY does it belong in the NARRATIVE?
What do you write? "PT having all over body pain and is black so treated for sickle cell anemia."
You guys are reaching

Every detail I put in my chart, be it "Black male" or "Patient was missing pants, had purple shirt on", can help me remember things in the future, if / when I get asked about it.
I may have run 10 shootings last year, only one was a white female. Does being a white female pertain strictly to the fact they were shot? Probably not. But seeing as how it was the only ''white female shooting'' I ran, it can jumpstart my mind on the call.
since there is a SECTION in the beginning or TOP of the PCR that asks, pt name, GENDER, birthday and race.... I could see why you ALSO need it in your narrative...again....for the second, maybe third time in your PCR.
Quick question, when you write a narrative, what do you start off with when you write it? Any sort of standard phrase?bahaha, ok. do you also include hair color? eye color? how was their hair styled? tall? short? scars? tattoos? color of their shoes? What about the fact that is was raining?

If you cant figure it out based on that...then by all means, write it 8 times if it helps
I guess my memory is better than I thought.
