Nah, but seeing my own does make me queasy somtimes.

Yeah, there's a joke that I'm going to bleed to death from something stupid because I'll be too busy freaking out to do anything about it.

This is either a load of BS you being fed, or lazy medics encouraging a refusal. What is described above is not, in my experince, a normal course of treatment. It sounds suspiciously like your administrators are making up tales to scare you into transporting so they can bill for the ride. DO NOT believe administrators with regard to patient

Yeah, sounds like BS.

We give Trebutaline to try to help with the breathing. My experience is that trying to keep a neb. or O2 on a pt while moving down stairs and hallways does not work well.

That makes a lot of sense. We used to have that as an option as well.
