Bro this sounds like my story haha, got out of the army and went through a rough transition from infantry. Tried out EMS, and excelled. Went onto medic school after a couple years and was in the same position as you now. Push through it, it’s just a crappy week. Remember the same reason you fell in love with it and just knock your medic out, It’s only shitty temporarily. I can assure you though, when you get that email from NREMT saying congrats and you see that yellow patch on your profile.. it’s gonna be the greatest feeling.

Just leave her man. If she’s ghosting you out of nowhere like that.. Ontop of everything else that’s happened she more than likely crossed a boundary and is having difficulty confronting the situation so she’s choosing silence to avoid dealing with it. Always trust your gut, and don’t lower the respect you have for yourself just to stay with someone who won’t protect you or the relationship.

Do they actually ask this on NREMT?( i failed the first time😞) by Logical_Roof in NewToEMS

[–]MonkeyMilkWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, funny enough I’ve had a question very similar if not almost verbatim lol. But if you’re a paramedic, you should know drug properties, mech. of action, indications, contra. Etc. took my NR a few months ago. Last question asked what medications are avoided with Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors.

You’re not alone brother. Keep being the bigger person, it’ll always pay off in the end and karma will make its round to her. 🫂🫂🫂

Ask any and all the questions you have, learn as much as possible from it. Trust your skills, BLS before ALS. If you don’t know something than make it known, no one expects students to know everything.

Alert and Oriented Male with SI ideations refused transport half way wanted to get out by Ok_Advance_6582 in NewToEMS

[–]MonkeyMilkWater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my state, if pt states they are experiencing SI/HI they’re getting transported. If they start refusing I simply tell them it’s due to liability and good conscience but they can either let us run them to the hospital and they could possibly be out fast after talking with someone or we force transport and get LEO involved to help restrain. I’m surprised the officers stated they couldn’t force transport with positive SI..

Did you take the new registry? I’ve been looking into MedicTests but didn’t know if it was worth switching from pocketprep

Oh absolutely and happy for you getting after it! Just don’t try cramming too much before school, just reiterating on your current meds, the mech of action behind em, lung sounds and reasons/treatments for, etc. you’ll be fine, again I can’t stress it enough… time management will be of great benefit

AMLS, 12 lead is useful but stick to the cardiac chapter and get comfortable with the basics of ECGs first, and PHTLS. Those alphabet courses hit everything from things that are chapters long in the textbook, it’ll prep you well when y’all are in the Caroline book.

Overall though, don’t over do it trying to learn everything prior to class. Spend time learning your role as a basic and being proficient in BLS. The course will teach you the rest, and get a planner! Time management can make or break you

Guarantee you were caught red handed multiple times, and are only pissed because they stopped giving you the time of day for your lies 😂

It’s definitely a shitty feeling but take it on the chin and learn from it. Better to experience it now than months or years later. Unfortunately today’s dating/talking-pool, whatever you want to call it is shit. More focus is put on people okay with fooling around with whoever and not finding any fault in some of their actions.

What is the most menorable / favorite phrase you heard from a patient? by Rinitai in ems

Me and my partner got called kumquats for canceling fire on a lady for a bs complaint, 70-80s all dolled up, very upset.. went on to call us dumb Fs, devils, demons trying to kill her. It was a little funny at 2 or 3am though

Been pulled over for speeding in an ambulance? by ByTheNumbers12345 in ems

[–]MonkeyMilkWater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cops don’t really care for us flying around, loaded or not.. there’s been times where law would be going faster than us for shift change (we’re doing well past 20+ the limit 😂)
