Call the attending at the psych clinic yourself for advice. Tell the doc what you're dealing with and if he'd be willing to consult the next time you have this patient. If the psych doc is willing to accept the patient, then transport him to the psych centre next time and bypass the local ER.

1971!!?? That's waaaaaayyyy before Johnny and Roy!! You are old. When you're ready I'd be interested in hearing about this call and what the doc had to say.

Welcome to the City Lisa, nice to see you make the transition over from EMTLife. I'm sure that someone on here will be able to help you. Is there no one you work with that can help?

Ok, time out children.

Just wait until you have to wrap your head around PCP, ICP, ACP, and CCP designations.

You do realise that being a flight nurse is the leading cause of death amongst flight nurses? I'm sure there are lots of truck drivers out there that might let you onto their truck.

My son already plans to work through med school by getting PCP training first.

And here I was just thinking that Chase took EMT training before deciding to go to nursing school.

I kinda thought that's what happened.

Welcome to the City, nice tongue. My wife always says "Don't stick it out unless yer gonna use it."

Whoa there buddy. The longest PCP program I'm familiar with in Canada is the two year program in Ontario. There are other, shorter PCP classes, some as little as 6 months.

I did most of my paramedic training onlime, with a side of salt and tequila.

Boxes like these have been used for centuries, often at convents or churches where babies could be left, a bell rung, and someone comes to collect the infant.

We've got them at our hospital, I'll look next time I'm there for a model. Could this be it?

Some do, others don't.

Perhaps a sticky with a list of peer reviewed books would be a good resource?

And again http://www.emsworld.com/news/10846750/alabama-man-opens-fire-on-responders-no-one-hurt No injuries this time though. But why shoot at the fire truck drivers, then allow the ambulance drivers to take care of him...not a fan of tiered response?

Good idea having that handy, you never know when you might stumble across a respiratory arrest at the same time as an EMT who forgot his bag in the other car and could put that in for you.

I gotta say, he stood up for what he felt was right. http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/1307702--retired-gen-norman-schwarzkopf-dies-source

What!!?? You should have made the other three all go out and buy the book so Mike could make more money. Now they'll just pass it around and read it for free...it's like book piracy!!!

And you defended yourself respectfully and admirably. Although your presentation left a few inconsistencies, you've addressed them to my satisfaction. Well done. That would be me, but you're not thinking in the same context as I am. We're supposed to be masters at manipulation, and what I'm getting at is to manipulate this medic into putting his brain into gear and think about what he did. Kinda like one time during flight training, I was supposed to land on 13 but was heading for the pattern to enter downwind 31. A simple brain fart, and my instructor had to ask me about which runway I wanted 3 times before my brain finally kicked in and I corrected my mistake. This medic screwed up, I mean really...we don't even give Atropine for asystole anymore, but was it a one off that he would recognise, or was it pure incompetence that requires remedial training. Using a heavy handed confrontational approach after the fact solves nothing, but makes a poor work environment. Give the guy a chance to realise what he had done and correct his mistake first before screwing with his career. If he doesn't, then go up the food chain.

Race ya.

You dare doubt me? Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD)

Or, ((F - 32) X 5) / 9 So 212F - 32 =180 180 X 5 = 900 900/9 = 100C Other way: 100C X 9 =900 900/5 = 180 180 + 32 = 212F
