So how do you feel about this? Personally I havn't came to a decision if am for or against. Has anyone had an experience with this before?
For your questions yes for pain managment and protocols.I have transported several pts. such as this.I'am still trying to find in my post where I suggest places here in the US don't have these protocols in place.
Could you post a link to this story.Am still not convinced that ever pt needs an ambulance from one hospital to the other hospital.Sorry I know in your eyes that makes me a simple minded ffmedic.Am going to go sit in the corner now.
Yes i do believe in replantation.Like I said if the bleeding is stopped and no other problems exist what is going to the other hospital in an ambulance going to achieve.Tell me exactly what you would do for this pt on a transfer that would cause a change in the outcome.If by the second part of...

First,what was you sent home for?Get back to me and let me know.I will then tell you your next step.Also find out what your policy and procedures are for filing a grievance
Let me add this about Gall's.If you live out of state and are planning to make a road trip to the showroom here in Kentucky don't waste your time and gas.
I think this line of work is safe.If medicare and medicaid keeps paying.Of coarse this money will one day run out because nobody will be left working to pay for it.
