I ride an ambulance not a truck or bus. I am never "just" an EMT or Paramedic, I am a Pre Hospital Medical Professional. If that is how you feel about EMS might do well to not join our field. If I've misunderstood I apologize if not then above stands.

No wonder the public is so confused.

Actually they can vary greatly. My service allows many procedures and lots more drugs and way different dosages on some than the next service one county over. If I went to work for them I would be in danger of practicing medicine w/o a license by exceeding protocols.

Monitoring is not required to make a system work. It is advisable but not required.

Might check with Rid he seems to on top of things like that.

So he appeared stable so no need for immediate trauma surgery. Even the hospital he was at did not feel a need for a rush. MOI is not always indicative of severity. Treat the patient not the MOI. The medics will be OK if they did proper documentation so it is clear why they decided on this and not another hospital.

Here is an overview. Just makes you remember to do proper documentation so you can show why you decided on a treatment or destination. Honestly looks like EMS is just part of a blanket lawsuit of everyone involved by a family that has suffered a loss. "The mother of a 17-year-old Bluffton High School student who died following a prom-night car wreck in May has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Beaufort County, alleging county paramedics took her son to a hospital unequipped to treat him." "The suit, filed March 12 and obtained by The Island Packet on Wednesday, alleges: • Beaufort County paramedics failed to "accurately assess Joshua's condition at the scene of the accident and (failed) to transport him to the appropriate medical facility." • The paramedics' decision to take George to Hilton Head Hospital instead of a rated trauma hospital, such as Savannah's Memorial University Medical Center, "is the direct and proximate cause of Joshua's death." In Savannah, the lawsuit says, he "would have been promptly treated ... by a trauma team and a neurosurgeon..." " "Paramedics arrived at the crash scene at 3 a.m., the report said. Ten minutes later, with George in the ambulance, they were on the way to Hilton Head Hospital. When the ambulance reached the hospital at 3:24 a.m., George "was conscious and was able to explain what had happened to him," according to the suit. Over the next two hours, Hilton Head Hospital personnel "performed a number of diagnostic tests and procedures," according to the lawsuit. At 5:20 a.m., less than two hours after he arrived, George was transferred to Memorial University Medical Center, a top-rated trauma hospital, according to the suit. The reason for the transfer, according to Hilton Head Hospital records, was that "physician specialties needed are not available. ...specialty not available: neurosurgeon," the suit states."

Your to old when your "Dust". Actually as with anything it should be based on being able to do all aspects of the job properly and professionally.

If he can go straight into Paramedic with 0 experience it is better for him. No need to be a smart butt, but I guess its better than being a dumb one. I disagree I think you should have all that before you take EMT-B. And if you do that then no reason to stop education just go on straight to Paramedic.

Perhaps sue for plagiarism.

Wow this attitude would break Jason at JEMS heart. Perhaps he will right about it in his volly column. He pisses me off.

Actually nothing wrong with pictures for actual training and for additional documentation for your report. But any one that posts pics that are identifiable should be made to watch a loved one suffer and die. Then relive it forever. That is what the dead persons family is made to do because of jerks like this that post gross pics for fun. OK my punishment won't work as other innocent partys would be harmed but I think YOU SEE MY POINT. If not sorry go back to preschool and get your education.

Sorry but they still do not transport. The crew calls doc, doc agrees that stubbed toe can wait till next day for office visit and the EMS crew then informs caller they will not be transported. So EMS is not denied the right to deny. lol. But as you and I have agreed before many in EMS have no business in EMS much less deciding who really needs an ambulance transport.

Regardless they do not need to drive at "insane speeds" as the article states.

Vent what you provided still does not say an EMS crew can not deny transport. Yes the one you reference requires crew to contact a doctor but still allows denying transport. I have yet to see any federal or state law that says every caller must be transported.

Yet there is no law federal or state that says an ambulance must transport all callers. 911 ambulances can not deny needed emergency care but they can say no to transport if the caller does not need it. Sadly to many take the lazy way and just transport all callers. I refuse to be used as a taxi. If after an exam if that stubbed toe is just a stubbed toe I will tell them they can not go by ambulance.

So now I am going to have to try and decipher the diabetes message next to the hate something tat. Horse crap get a bracelet or necklace and I'll notice it much more quickly.

Driving like idiots in ambulances is not enough? Now give idiots fast cars? More innocent people will die. How freaking idiotic.

And your BLS drugs to.

http://www.intermedix.org/ Huge increase in reimbursement from insurance and also collections. They can also work to customize so you can handle some required state reports.

Yes, where do we go for that check? I feel extremely oppressed because of how the white man abused my ancestors. Their spirits will not rest until I am paid.

Was itku2er cooking again?

Yes much nicer than the person deserved.

I didn't see no bragging. He asked and for those that wanted to know they researched. No harm no foul. Perhaps if you had not attacked he would have been moved to share more details. Maybe a cup a coffee will help you get un-constipated.
