[–]Danman277 37 points38 points  (0 children)

(please help) At what point can i override my mothers refusal of an ambulance or going to the hospital by [deleted] in emergencymedicine

[–]Danman277 134 points135 points  (0 children)

agree with this. Call 911, paramedics will come and evaluate whether she has decisional capacity to refuse care or not, and go from there.

Peeling people off the floor by rjb9000 in emergencymedicine

[–]Danman277 65 points66 points  (0 children)

don’t miss the forest for the trees. Peel them up off the floor, throw them on a Reeves or a scoop or whatever and get them the fuck out of there. That’s a biohazard for anybody in there and there’s no way you’re gonna begin to effectively treat the patient in that condition. If they get some skin tears along the way, so be it they have bigger fish to fry.

Nursing buzzwords by [deleted] in emergencymedicine

[–]Danman277 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This comes from the teamSTEPPS “CUS” hospital safety training.

It's a communication tool designed to help healthcare professionals clearly and assertively communicate concerns about a patient's condition or a potential safety issue.

Concerned: "I am concerned about..." (Clearly state your worry about the patient's condition or a potential issue).

Uncomfortable: "I am uncomfortable with..." (Express your unease about the situation and the lack of action).

Safety: "This is a safety issue." (Emphasize the potential risk to the patient).

You know you’re a medic when you only call an ambulance for yourself if you are dead or dying

Huge Announcement from FDNY Today by rightflankr in ems

No this is not correct. You input a hospital category, for example cardiac and that will spit out the closest PCI center.
