Have you done steroid blast pac? My asthma got very bad. I actually now have and battle MCS (multiple chemical sensitivity ). Pretty much everything sets me off. To keep working I have to keep my house basically chemical free so I can get my energy back between shifts. Since I took care of the chemicals ( I have to use lots of organic crap ) in my home I have improved and use my rescue inhaler about 1 time every 3 months. I was doing numerous drugs, steroids, neb, and emergency inhaler ( every 2 hours ) before the MCS was figured out after an allergic reaction sent me to hospital. In other words consider environmental causes not just physical. Hope this helps. PM if you want to.

I'm thankful for a career that I enjoy. Yes I gripe alot, really just blowing off steam. I am thankful to be a part of hopefully helping make positive changes that will help make EMS a true profession that will attract quality people. I am also thankful that that I am able to get people to start thinking out of their box no matter how uncomfortable it makes them.

My lands I am getting sick. Someone dial 9.........................................................

We learn the most from our mistakes. Well good call Dust and admin.

Noted

Now no more BLS ALS ONLY Patient Care . Patient care is what we should all be about. To give patient care requires education. I look forward to us all working to improve education so our patient care improves. So my question what one thing do you think should each person do to improve Patient Care? Just for admin good call. I like this.

Wow that dude looks like a cop. If I was a bad guy I might get nervous and take action. Actual idea especially way spun in article, thanks brentoli, sounds good for big citys.

:sign5: I can see all our posts now have to include " There were no members injured in the making of this post ". Hahaha. Alls good more fun. Banishment for Timmy say aye.

Dude you got way to much time on your hands. I will not sleep. I will not eat. :puke: :crybaby: :pottytrain5:

Welcome to the site. Plenty of thought about this subject. My patients get the best care. Don't worry your little head about that. Most patients released are just in need of a ride home, which may be the nursing home. There is no need for an ambulance. You said preventative measure in case they get sick, I used an extreme to illustrate how bad an idea it is to waste an ambulance on a taxi ride. There would be times, rare ones but times, when a person might justify an ambulance to return a patient home, but again very rare. If you want to be a taxi driver be the best one you can be. For me I choose to be a healthcare Professional that will work to do away with wasted resources.

It is not the hospital that has to comply. My backwoods country hickville service uses electronic PCR's. We keep a laptop with internet card on a couple of the trucks. The other trucks don't have them. We installed comps at the hospital for us to use. So your service needs to spend some bucks or they make you all look bad that you do not leave a pcr with the hospital before you leave like you should.

Motorcycle Ambulance - Are you getting one? What are your thoughts? Saw the ad and well I thought at least only 1 person getting hurt or killed instead of 2. www.seavivalsystems.com [web:0410132e4c]http://www.seavivalsystems.com/?pg=PUBLIC%20SYSTEMS&pgsub=Fire%20Rescue<br>Emergency%20Medical%20Services&pgsubsub=Fire%20Rescue<br>Emergency%20Medical%20Services[/web:0410132e4c]

OKAY now put an ambulance at every house it's a preventative measure not much a husband, wife, child or other untrained person can do. :twisted: No it's a scam. It makes EMS nothing more than taxi drivers and low paid ones at that . If there is not an immediate emergency ambulances should not be used.

So Cananda's system is not the solution to the problems in the USA. Well it really looks like worldwide we have to many titles. Lets make a worldwide minimum standard. At most 2 levels.

Dude I'm a tactical medic and just didn't know it. But really the true use of it in EMS is those specially trained and used in the line of fire to paraphrase doc.

The public does not care. They only want the funny looking vehicle with flashing lights and siren, because all we are is a fast taxi. No matter how you educate, explain, etc, they don't get it. Rural areas such as I work at, and especially where I used to work at, have a much greater need for Paramedics than the citys. It is funny from what I have seen here though that you almost should not call a city paramedic a paramedic when you consider how limited there protocols, the mommy may I requirements, and limited drugs and toys. Not saying all but several of the city procedures are very limited as described here on the city. But back on topic it is lack of pay that keeps paramedics out of the sticks. In my area it is nice to see a start in change of attitude and pay going up for all involved.

Tactical medics are educated on how to work with LE on stand offs, entry, etc. In other words you are trained to go into the actual fire zone so you can start care immediately on injured while anybody with common sense would stay out. Some places allow these people to get certified with their firearm and carry. Others assign an officer to stay with you at all times. Just a brief overview. Some will give you more details I'm sure.

Implied consent would only apply if patient was not with us mentally. Since he answers you have to let him give approval to touch. Now what you say about telling him what you are going to do and doing it, thats OK as he had a chance to say no. Do I notice any bleeding, impaled objects, legs pinned, any angulated limbs, any obvious life threatening items I need to see as I look.

The bash threads I started were in fun except the one about er docs. :shock:

Your on the wrong Island. I want sun and fun. Look forward to hearing more about your work.

Banish him, I never liked him anyway. :twisted: But you know Chuck sure spent a lot of time with that black guy when they were rangers. :? Another thought this is sure a lot like those bashing threads that got locked. :wink:

Sand, sun, exotic tropical drinks. Ah the life. But in reality I bet it can be a real challenge especially if hospital is on another island.

OK I'll invade his space and grab him by the head so it doesn't move then introduce myself. Though I would introduce myself first in real life so I am not accused of assault/battery.

" I think we're alone now" sorry that came out loud. :oops: Sir I am with the ambulance is it OK for me to help you? Does he verbally respond? Or just more muttering?

or mabe it was younger horse, faster women
