Thanks, it was a hard call because her two young children (like 9 and 13) were in the room throughout all of this.

I check every patient now because of this... I was doing clinicals at a hospital in my area. Patient was brought in, medics said they believed it to be a drug overdose. She had fell down 14 stairs and had a laceration on the back of her head. She had an altered mental status and was vomiting. I...

What I meant by treat the patient not the monitor was.... The person who posted this states that unless the monitor says Myocardial Infart (doesn't matter if there is ST elevation or depression) they cannot transport to a STEMI center. That is ridiculous. ST elevation or depression indicates...

I'm currently halfway through my Paramedic program. Our text book goes into GREATER (like M.D. level) detail than what our program requires. It's a great resource for information but if you are struggling with the exams/tests... My advice is to take notes based upon the material your instructor...

Need advice on writing narratives for run reports. We didn't practice it enough in basic and I don't run anywhere. I'm hopelessly lost at this time. Can anyone direct me in the path of how to write an organized and complete narrative. Any help would be GREAT :wacko:
