No kidding eh!? good ol' NS. Once they feel it running up their veins... they feel better. I hate the feeling. Bugs the hell outta me.

Usually. Yeah. ALS intercept isn't far away. The same with the FD and the police.

Wow. TJ come to the rescue. Thanks for the back up, sweets.

Hhahaha man, this is getting blown way out of proportion. I am not afraid to do it, I just believe that in the time it takes to shove a tube down someones throat I could have inserted my OPA, began artificial vents and performed half of my rapid physical. We're all supposed to employ the...

hahaha amen to that. Well its the only way to learn, really. I think anyway.

Really? thats silly. Normal Saline is nothing. Its basically just fluid replacement. We practice IVs in the classroom too with NS. Same with IMs. Its the only way we learn.

I dunno. I just do. Its the same reason why some people thing that intubating is easier. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. I didn't mean to step on anyone's toes and I'm sorry if I've offended anyone but we've all got our opinions and that one was mine. Thanks.

Take it easy, c-dawg.

I'm really not debating that. Truely. I just really think the skill needs to be done with a paramedic present. I'm sorry. Thats how I feel..

Very good question. We start an IV of NS, TKVO incase we do need to administer drugs via IV line. We only admininster D50W if the Pt is unconsciouse. IF they are able to swallow, we always implement the simplest solution because there are certain risks with D50W. After the administration...

Besides, intubation isn't always required when End Tidal CO2 is.

You know, we discuss things, put in our two cents and listen to what others have to say. No where in the world does it say you have to listen and be bitter about my disagreeing with you. It will happen. People disagree all the time. Again, just because I don't like that doesn't mean that...

I am a fantastically intelligent young woman. I am ranking in the top five right now. Do not undermine my intelligence that way. I was simply disagreeing with something and stating why I disagree with it. You may think its right and I appreciate that and why you think you should be...
