Yeah I just don't see it often but it was a great thing the EMT basic did a ECG.

69 y/o male CC of shoulder pain BLS transmitted a ECG to our ALS unit and the paramedic said there was ST elevation in anterior leads. So we ask there eta and it was 20min at the point we are on there way to the hospital so they are en route and meet us and we take the patient. So there were 2...

TIAs do have a significant increase likelihood of stroke. Strokes are ether a bleed or clot. If patient has a hyper coagulation status then it may be a good thing to have. In this case it's unfortunate he did have a hemorrhagic stroke but history of TIAs shouldn't be a contraindication of aspirin.

Not a medic but I am going to take a shot on this one for learning. I am going to consider BSI and wear my mask, face shield, gown, gloves. Since it's a facility that works with hazardous material I would expose the patient and use the emergency chemical shower and clean them quickly. Access...

I now see that the fear is about being judged for unnecessary intercepts. I talked with my employer...

I saw it before you changed it. No we didn't give a whole 1L. My mistake on wording. We started as 1L and I cut it off after giving about 250ml. We were between back to back calls so the 1L were the only NS packs.

Oh.

I recommend the Paramedic coach video vault. https://www.paramediccoach.com/homepage it helped me get my EMT basic and advance and I plan to use it again for my medic whenever I get around to it.

In the US we have 911 service ambulances, private ambulance service for like dialysis treatments, and some can call the private service for a transfer to the hospital and it could be a emergency.

Access scene for clues like pill bottles, bottles of alcohol, etc. ABCs, A&O, vitals, ECG, ask guardian if present a SAMPLE, and work on stabilizing then just direct to the ED and the investigations can start.

I won't do it again. Thank you for the tips that I can learn from. :)
