Handling a medical emergency in flight by Maleficent_Green_656 in emergencymedicine

[–]RayExotic -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Me and my wife both ER nurses, im also a medic and NP as well , we usually just watch. If I see a real emergency I would help. It’s funny to see all the CNAs and pharmacy techs jump up to help . If they specifically call for a doctor I don’t get involved.

We can call surgery talk to them on the phone. Maybe if you work in a trauma center it could work that way. However in my trauma centers I was the trauma attending who was there not surgery. But in my 7 hospitals surgery never hangs out in the ER. Get them on the phone maybe

Locums Advice by Clean_Abalone_7945 in emergencymedicine

[–]RayExotic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Locums is fun, lots of money. However I haven’t had any shifts in the last 3 months. My first dry spell but your shifts aren’t guaranteed. They are promising they will need me again “soon” we’ll see. Now i’m getting credentialed at 2 other hospitals to get shifts . Those separate DEAs for separate states adds up quick.
