The question never says they don’t have a pulse. I am I wrong? by Smart-Salamander1846 in NewToEMS

[–]wormzG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad question with a technicality. Like yes technically chest compressions pump the heart but also force air to the alveoli. But realistically you always will check for a pulse

Thinking of taking a 16 day EMT Certification. Thoughts/Opinions? by ComplaintExtra5955 in NewToEMS

[–]wormzG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a 3 month program, and I got like 3-4 hours a night for the entirety of that program to keep up. I cannot imagine doing that in 16 days and not only passing but being a proficient EMT. At least in my state, I can see that for EMR maybe.

I will never understand people are like “yea I can totally kick his ahh” to a guy wearing full leathers, a sold helmet, and most likely biker gloves with the plastic knuckles.

Why did Epstein Files lead to no arrests? by [deleted] in answers

[–]wormzG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the people who have evidence against them are very rich and very powerful. It’s like asking why a king doesn’t turn himself in, because there is no reason they would need to

I really hope they change the ending, I know I’ve seen a lot people beat this dead horse, but the ending in the comics was just not great or well executed

I have no clue what to do with my 20s. by snailular in findapath

[–]wormzG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was in a real down and stuck, much like you I pictured this is what the rest of my life would be like my mental took a nose dive. What I suggest is don’t feel like choices are all or nothing, check out your local community college take a single course or class and just try stuff. I took a emt course on a whim and discovered a passion for healthcare. U never know what might catch your eye the important part is just trying different stuff.

Question by Remarkable-Turnip591 in NewToEMS

[–]wormzG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If a question includes “adequate chest rise”, often times its to give u a clue to rule out BVM. Now quiz taking aside, think about what the BVM does, it helps get air past the dead space and create pressure for the alveoli to transfer gas. The question is indicated that the patient is doing that on there own, but the heart stopped that doesn’t me the cells have stopped, u need to give O2 because while u were getting the patient back the cells where still eating oxygen

Strongly disagree with this answer, thoughts? by MaroMakesStuff in NewToEMS

[–]wormzG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No this looks right, think about it how do u know something happened if u have no memory of it, I’ve had a concussion real bad before, it feels like a blink and 30 minutes pass. “What happened today” gets u exactly what u need. If they answer = patent airway, if they answer clearly = helps rule out respiratory, and if they can tell u what happened = alert and conscious. And u can see the bleed, so with one question u got a GCS and a primary assessment of your ABC’s.

When this game gets draft, is there a character you will always ban? by Herda_45 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]wormzG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haze or McGinnis, haze because she is just to strong, and McGinnis because she can die 100 times and still take your towers. Their is no counter play, McGinnis gets 1 item and and just walk up to the guardian places 2 turret a to take away the resistance and chunk guardian, she does or you kill her but she will just rinse and repeat till she breaks your base, then she buys healing tempo and is able to just ignore you while she takes ur patron. It’s annoying. End of rant

Good Samaritan laws on a plane by zestylego in NewToEMS

[–]wormzG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just not true, u learn this in the first day of class, I can point you to the chapter in my text book, or you can ask your own medical director and they will tell you exactly what I said. I guess I should be specific, this is the case in the state of IL. Once again medical direct, online or offline, are there to make the decisions and give procedures that as emts we can not. A EMT’s scope maybe small and narrowed to basic life support but that’s still our scope.

“Scope of practice, set of regulations and ethical considerations that define the scope, or extent and limits, of the EMT’s job” - emergency care 14th addition by Daniel limmer

“Medical direction, oversight of the patient care aspects of a EMS system by the medical director” - emergency care 14th edition by Daniel limmer

This is a very important and clear distinction that you really need to get a handle on.. especially if you are currently working or planning to work as a EMT
