Don't make me jealous!

Haha. The EMT ride outs are so the student can use what they learned and actually use it out in the field. BLS here equals doing vitals and paperwork. ALS here equals all the stuff they were taught in EMT school. Better to have them ride out on stuff they are being trained for.

So when we catch a priority 1 we get to chinese fire drill it and switch spots.

Really? My dream job would be one where I NEVER had to drive. Thankfully my current partner is much more into the driving than the pt care haha.

We have been getting our butts handed to us today also. 6 hours in to our shift and 7 calls and transports so far. Plus having to wrestle a patient on our gurney with PD helping.

16 hours, 11 calls with 18 patients, 10 transports... and got off an hour late because we caught a call 5 minutes before getting off duty.


Atleast I don't work 2 days in a row, and since my partner and I are both Paramedics, we alternate every call.

Nice. Do you know if it's lateral, inferior, anterior, posterior, etc?

What do you think it is? I'm on my phone so it's difficult to see, I know what I think it is

 

[Sasha]

Thank god. I finished the shift without an assault charge.

I have a low tolerance for incompetence and ignorance.

And I get stuck with the same crappy people over and over.

Ok I really want to say "yeah that's what they say" but I don't want to get punched in the throat so I'm just gonna keep it to myself and go to bed ;P

I was so happy when I got that "restriction" lifted. Got some funny looks doing the swithero with in the middle of the road. Especially in the hood.

We have no restrictions here. I drove to the hospital the first half of my first shift then started doing all the driving including emergent for the last half and the whole next shift then I started attending.

Tigger, doublepost for the win

 

[Handsome Robb]

For the first time in all my clincals I got a nurse to let me access the hospital-wide patient directory to follow up and do research on the TCA OD I saw yesterday to write my final case study.

Self-extubation with the cuff still inflated...sounds like a great way to destroy your vocal cords :wacko:

 

[Anjel]

I have my first medic ER clinical tonight.

I am a tad bit nervous.
