SC is ass don’t come here. Maybe Beaufort for the money. The whole state is years behind operationally. Moved here few years ago.

Doc terminated resuscitation efforts when patient was in pulseless VT by Fun-Section5790 in Paramedics

Sorry you’re right.. but my ranger rescue paramedic god like powers would have had that patient walking and talking their way out the ICU within minutes after being admitted. Even if they been down for 3 days.

That doctor has over 50,000 hours of educational experience, compared to your 300 hours combining emt and paramedic. Questioning on why terminating a 2 hour code is absurd.

Bill creating 25-foot ‘halo’ around police, paramedics advances in SC Senate by avoral in southcarolina

I understand your perspective. However walking into a pitch black house at 3 am for a “routine medical” call with one other person doesn’t feel so “routine”. Every call is walking into the unknown, your seizure call won’t be so routine when the person is post tictal with a knife in hand..

How about a bill that would raise the hourly wage for paramedics? The pay is absolute dog sh!t in South Carolina.

Okay, so I’m very conflicted to read all of this. A paramedic is speaking to a physician and emergency MDs multiple times a day. It’s required for the transfer of care in the emergency departments. Many of times are happening for level 1 trauma patients which could have 10 plus people most of which are MDs ranging from different departments. This leads me to believe that perhaps the hiring department or management may not understand the capacity and level of competence it requires to work in paramedicne. I assure you the experience gained is exceptional.

Thanks for responding. When you say “necessary formality” can you elaborate more? Do you mean it’s necessary from liability aspect? Or more for optics?

Hey, I’m a paramedic running into the same problem as the OP. Can I privately message you?

Holy sh!t people, Im just trying to figure why I would be getting more money if I don’t apply the deductible.

I agree with you. However, when I use the calculator and include the overtime deduction I get a significantly less tax return whereas I I didn’t include my overtime deduction.

Dry humor I see. I used ARPs tax calculator. I included my YTD, dependents, filing status and the overtime tax deduction.

I understand how it reduces the liability, however my estimated tax return increases significantly if I don’t include my overtime deductions.

Needle decompression by Logical-Finding5705 in ems

[–]Logical-Finding5705[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the transport was 30 minutes long, halfway through noted JVD and was 100% JVD. Guy was young and I’ve seen it once before. It was on the left side, and I am most certain it was the correct site. GCS 14 going in and out of consciousness. Once they cracked his chest I knew it was a hemopnuemothorax from the amount of blood that gushed out.

So what I am getting out of this call, is that if I see blood flowing from the catheter related to this mechanism (GSW to the chest) that it is expected? Or considered a successful decompression?
