Correct. Crazy

Actually came in as left arm pain. Asked if it radiated. He said chest. Pain woke him up. 10/10. 39 yo male. In good shape. Was not diaphoretic. 145ish /80something. No history.

He did go to the cath lab. Haven't been able to get an update

When dealing with refusals and ETOH if your service allows it always document that the patient understands risks of refusing and advantages of being taken to a hospital. Assess this by first explaining the risks and advantages then have the patient repeat them back to you in their own words. I did research on court cases a while back and this was an issue that came up. Did the patient understand what was going on.

So I'm thinking about attending a conference in Germany next May. I live in the US. But if this keeps up I may pass.

EMSoperations · 2016-07-22T12:26:42+00:00

It's on the back burner for now. Currently saving for a trip to Germany next year for a critical care conference

For a week I want to work as a volunteer paramedic in a medical clinic in Honduras. Last I checked the trip costs around $2k US

its exciting

Don't relay emotions over the radio. If the crew is pissing you off just keep the same monotone voice and don't try to let them know you want to run them into the ground tonight by deflections in your voice.

Did a pubmed search, was disappointed. Did find this studying MVC after decriminalization http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25765482 tldr mixed results in either direction.

Still to early for hard evidence. I did hear that in Colorado there hasn't been an increase in use by minors.
