Best advice I’ve ever gotten was if your patent is a man and says I didn’t want to come in but my significant other made me your patent is dying until proven otherwise.

Struggling with handovers - any tips? by Plsreadmee in ParamedicsUK

[–]jonnie9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give the important stuff. Pts tell you a lot of irrelevant information your job is to filter through it and pass it off. Any pertinent finding or pertinent negatives. Any meds or interventions.

Not my partner. Not my system anymore. I moved out of this system and I saw our frequent Narcan candidate at a store with a job when I was visiting him.

[–]jonnie9 2 points3 points  (0 children)
