MariB Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 There is one particular(ly useless) competitor to this website where our young hero also has a profile. He states that he's 12 years old there, also. Perhaps it's time he turns off the computer and discovers the world outside. yeah, that is where I got his age. What I found horrifying was the video game where he thinks he is actually trained to do these things because of the video game.

ClutzyEMT Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Oh em gee...LOL I had to play a troll for a bit this morning and check out the site.... I'm just wondering what this kid thinks a backboard and 'c-spine' is all about?? I HAD to copy and paste his directions: 47 General Discussion / EMS/ARFD RP treatment of spinal injuries « on: July 28, 2012, 12:58:36 AM » 1. make sure the scene is safe 2. stabilize neck with hands 3. get a backboard and C-spine 4. log roll the patient carefully 5. attach C-spine to patients head 6. slide backboard under and attach straps 7. transport patient to hospital and finally........this.......he thinks he's SAR Team too.........Noooooooo please say it isn't true..... 10 General Discussion / Request for added and changed EMS equipment.

island emt Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Thanks, Ed. It's been a really long road, indeed. I remember years ago when you first started talking about going forward. Glad to see you found a way to move up. good for you. Have a good friend who is a Paramedic and a P,A,C, that works at the trauma center in Portland full time and several other ER's & clinics per diem as his schedule allows.
paramedicmike Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Yeah. It took a while to figure out what path was going to be best for me. I talked to a lot of people before making my decision. As soon as my licensure paperwork comes back I'll be moving to a new State for a job in the ER of a trauma center. Geographically it's not where I want to be. But it's a good hospital, has a good training program for PAs working in e-med and will offer some solid foundation building for moving forward. I'm pretty excited for the professional aspects of it all. 1
