i ran a call the other day and the first thing this guy said was " o thank god your guys are here i was masterbating so much i think i broke a nut." i was thinking about not wrighting it on my report, but i was taught to wright everything that the Pt. tells me so i did

I passed my NREMT-B my first go around with answering 81 questions. My question is how do i find out how i did on each section of the test because nothing like that came with my patch and crap. do i need to call them or is it on the NREMT.org website.

it wasn't a call but in EMT class my friend and I were partners in a scenario and it was a trouble breathing due to asthma. My friend got the albuterol out and told the patient to "wrap your lips around this while i spray". I almost fell on the floor laughing.

my teacher said: apply pressure with your hand(yes gloved) and a bandage under your hand if bleeding continues elevate and apply more bandages if it still continues, apply tourniquet and treat for shock.
