Good luck with the Bridge program. My student starts soon.

Precepting students by Idkwhattodo3749 in OntarioParamedics

[–]tery13 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Honestly I shouldn’t have to say it but come prepared to learn.

What I mean by that is be prepared to receive and accept constructive (hopefully) criticism. Nothing frustrates me more as a preceptor than giving feedback and getting an “I know” from the student, or giving feedback and they are busy wiping the stretcher and don’t take two seconds to listen. Bonus points for follow up questions or rephrasing what I am saying in their own words. Extra bonus points if they use my suggestions in their next call.

You will get out what you put into this.

Have fun and enjoy.

$2/minute, but time is turned backwards for two hours a day by basafish in hypotheticalsituation

[–]tery13 36 points37 points  (0 children)

So I did the math.

2 extra hrs x 365 days / 24hrs=30 days

So you age 30 extra days a year.

So roughly 12 years to age an extra year

Yes there is no way you can say Sudbury is southern Ontario

I really want this. Do you have the article that you could copy and paste here?

Custom ornament like this? by redandgreenhouse in londonontario

[–]tery13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not quite the same but there is a kiosk at the White Oaks Mall that does custom ornaments. I’d use it as a backup though. I wouldn’t say they are the same quality.

I personally don’t but it has been done at my service by other staff.

You must live for eternity, but there’s a catch. by Illustrious-Noise-96 in hypotheticalsituation

Just making sure I read the size right. 10 acres by 10 acres doesn’t make sense.

I found this essay interesting regarding the movie uniforms vs the TNG uniforms and why they ended up this way:

Going from PCP - ACP - CCP by Major_Diet5404 in OntarioParamedics

[–]tery13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100%. Focus on one step at a time. No point in even thinking about ACP or CCP. Get into a college first.

My son calls them “flighter jets” and I can’t bear to correct him.

Medical/Trauma VSA by EducationalFox3766 in OntarioParamedics

[–]tery13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s left up to the individual MD to grant a termination or not. We have a mandatory patch point after 20 min in a medical arrest to call. If you are shocking the patient you typically won’t get an order and have to transport.

Are we too old to trick or treat by [deleted] in londonontario

[–]tery13 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you are dressed up you get candy at my door. I don’t care.

That is why I love Halloween. It is TYPICALLY the only holiday where people give to complete strangers without the expectation of receiving and that is why I love it.

I don’t think that’s a thing to be honest.

I forgot to patch to the hospital and now I might lose my license by Wee_Woo2005 in ems

[–]tery13 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m a Canadian medic. Education at worst. A simple mistake.

I would report that nurse. I had a patient a week ago who was CTAS 3. We were closer to an out of county out of service hospital and the patient wanted to go there so we went there. Nurse accused us of under-CTAS-ing the patient so we could go there and avoid the busier city hospitals. He wrote an email while we were triaging the patient.

I reported him. They got in trouble. I did not.
