Ok i've got a question.
I recently let my NREMT expire (mostly out of mis-understanding on my part). As in did not read into it enough.
ANyway is there was way short of redoing the entire NREMT course i can get my certification back?
ALRIGHT!!!
We had overhauled the website and it is much more user friendly. Please come check it out for all your EMS, FIRE, or POLICE needs.
The M-PAC racks are great for extra storage or and new Arrest Packs are a cool new stream-lined organization tool for a code situation.
Many other...
So this doesn't help answer your question, but i am in the same boat. I wanted to Join the Army for Combat medic, but i had pins put in my hip back in the day, so the MEPS Dr's wouldn;t let me join...
This also goes for your other ems Help such as fire department or Police right, I learned in school that we could not disclose that information to other help... not counting your partner...?
Or am I wrong.
I think that you also have to look at it from not just our point of view but from a culture in general. What i mean is I wor for a small rural Hospital based system. On any given day we see alot of the "BS" the chronic headache, Back Pain, or the CP call that we all know is anxiety, or someone...
Isn't it funny though that was are ingrained to think; Airway, Breathing, Circulation. All the way through school ABC... And then it comes to ALS and now CPR and difbrilation or the major players. hmmm
PA,
Yeah we use them at our service, The are pretty awesome, the ability to place them on with whatever the position is. The X-collar keeps the pt's neck more stable that the regular C-collar too!
At our service we take the cot as close to the Pt as possible. We stair chair when we have too. Think about it like this; Using the cot to lift a Pt is the safest lift you will have (Handles, a partner, good lifting technique). So if you get the cot close you can you can (if you have to)...
