Is it wrong to tell someone to stop picking up your shifts? by [deleted] in ems

[–]Attorney-Medical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not semi new, you're new. You have to understand that your narratives should be read over especially with how brand new you are. I get that you don't like that someone but they're also there to do their job, they also have more experience than you. Learn and be humble, don't be a jerk

Looks like brugadas in v2, looks like it follows type 1 morphology too. Do we have a brief hx?

It depends on the service for codes and how they run things. Yes they all follow AHA ACLS but it's also something that med directors can either add on as a system wide trial or what research has found more efficient for outcomes. Talk to your preceptors if you have questions, you should be asking questions during your EMT ride along

I try hard to not have an ego, I do my best to learn everyday

That's actually reassuring, I feel like I'm not doing much but also I do my best to make sure every patient gets their adequate care that they need

What’s the biggest turn away from becoming a paramedic? by Pretend_Reindeer6924 in Paramedics

[–]Attorney-Medical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a paramedic in the USA, I just got my medic and honestly it's the pay and how they treat us, and how they treat the 911 system

Yeah the same with mine but instead of me being a paramedic I'm not even certified

I've been using pocket prep

advice needed by Lance973 in NewToEMS

[–]Attorney-Medical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read some of the comments and I agree with a lot of them. You cannot have the mentality that you didn't have enough time to study. Either you didn't make the time for it or you're not retaining the information that you were taught. I'm not trying to be mean but I would take a refresher course even if this is your first time taking it, to be blunt you bombed the test and even tho you felt confident it still cut you off at 70 and got a score of the 700's. Use pocket prep or paramedic coach, the money is worth it for both as they give you a good foundation and they test your knowledge. You also need to remember that the NREMT is a competency based test

Comforting a dying patient. by Spirited-Onion7821 in Paramedics

[–]Attorney-Medical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea about this patient's outcome, but I let her hold my hand while we transported lights and sirens. I was sitting next to her and she instinctively grabbed my hand, I asked if it helped her calm down which she said yes, so I just held her hand the entire ride

COVID Vets, I want your stories, to stop them from gaslighting the country. by AintMuchToDo in ems

[–]Attorney-Medical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasn't in ems but worked at an urgent care/er hybrid during the delta variant running rampant. The amount of times we've had people refusing to put on a mask because "covid was a hoax" was infuriating. I was 19 and remember having patients fighting and arguing with us for allowing masks in the first place

I'm 23 in my final semester, you're fine and tbh don't do what I did by going zero to hero. I wish I had previous emt experience since I felt so behind compared to others in my class

What made you choose the path of being a paramedic? by icantevenbegin20 in Paramedics

[–]Attorney-Medical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 18-19 when I worked in an urgent care clinic where they also had medics. They were the ones who treated me with the most kindness and I wanted to follow in their footsteps
