Why cant an emt-b install an I.V.?

in the army the 40hr combat lifesaver course teaches you to do it.

of course the immediate result was guys slicing the tops off bags of ringers lactate and adding vodka to 1/4 bag.

talk about a cheap night out! lol


Start an IV and do... what... exactly with it?

Have my medic push drugs he just drew up in it. Also EMTs here can attend transports with fluids running since we can initiate them. Our medics would freak if we lost EMT-IVs since they don't have to ride those calls.

No saying its right or wrong but it's firmly entrenched here.

Just found out an old friend of mine overdosed today, a few weeks after he had a baby with his wife. What a shame, I don't understand the decisions people make sometimes.

I love the EMT-IV cert in Colorado. It makes perfect sense to me to have both crew members of a professional ALS ambulance able to at least start a lock and draw labs. It's the most helpful ALS assist skill available in my opinion.

I'm sorry for your loss Addrobo. I didn't mean to immediately follow up this post with my inane babbling. These kinds of decisions really are impossible to fathom.

Simply put yes. The amount of ladies that dig an EMT is directly proportional to the amount of objects on said EMT's belt.

And lights on said EMTs vehicle.

The more lights, the better. Light up your POV like a Christmas tree.

Ladies chuckle demurely at the idea of a male nurse.

They snort derisively at the sight of and EMT.

They blush and flirt shamelessly with paramedics.

And that is that.
