I really, really wish I could watch youtube videos while here at work........it would be so much better than wondering what everyone has posted and realizing I won't know till I get home....

Hmmm...so many choices... Gimme 8 more seconds by Toby Keith Emergency by Paramore Life is a Highway (any version) Hot Rod Lincoln by Commander Cody and His Lost Airmen The Letter by The Boxtops Rodeo, Fever, or Ireland by Garth Brooks Me And My Gang by Rascal Flatts ANYTHING by...

Hmmm...I might have to use this one in the future.....

That's fine. I will try and keep it nice so that you don't have to do the Wyatt Earp imitation on us......:P

I can neither confirm nor deny having anything at all to do with their deaths....:ph34r: We promise not to use them on you. ;) Do you have a preferred brand of stethoscope? Would you not prefer an Ultrascope over a Medline basic scope? It is the same for gun owners. We have our preferences...

man, you gotta keep your head up. Several years ago now, I found that time is the only solution to much of the pain we feel. I have already told what happened in a different post, but I will link to it here....it is much easier than having to retype the situation...

My point exactly.

Well said.....

I might know a few vets for you to interview. It's sad how much of our history we lose each day. I was (and still am some of the time) involved in an oral history project for Korea and Vietnam vets. Anyways, I think we need to bump the thread back onto topic....

Don't worry about him brother...We all understand..Happy is just out of his meds...all will be better soon lol

You ever get down this way and I'll buy you a beer.

What if he had inadvertently caught something by doing this? Would we be heehawing over the fact he put the patient on the monitor then? I fail to see how placing this patient on the monitor, which is just another diagnostic tool, is a failure to be professional. Again, it may be useless, but it...

One thing that rides my neck is the amount of people that are pretty much saying 'well, this patient shouldn't have been placed on a monitor. No indications for such.' Yeah, it may have been useless, but did it cause any harm? Please folks, can we narrow it back down to the OP's original post?

Did it hurt the patient? No. Could it have hurt the patient? No. I'm guessing that they did talk to their patient. How much time was lost applying the monitor? 90 seconds? Have you, as a Paramedic/RN, never done something out of a gut feeling? What made that action appropriate?

I think what Chimpie is asking more about the uniforms.....for instance, in a lot of places, Class A uniforms are full down service dress (coat, blouse, shiny shoes, whole 9's). Perhaps you meant Class B uniforms....

Well then, how about one of each??

Scotch tape? Umm, don't think it would cause any harm because it likely won't stick and hold. If there's one thing I have plenty of, it's medical tape....

Obviously the OP did....

I realize that, and I did mean the 'touch' part in a more figurative sense. My SOP's don't cover this issue....I think I might need to have a talk with mi directore.....

Why not both?
