lets face it, 98% of pt's have a very simple problem. yes, a lot of times ALS in nature but yet simple. our job is to keep folks alive until they arrive :). I was bored one day and found a forum but not bored enough to argue EMS. so long B)B)

Veneficus, all you had to do was ask if there were patches, but i never seen anyone say they removed a shirt or anything to LOOK. Back to the basics with a proper Basic assessment. i wasnt really looking looking for the treatment of this pt so much as what was wrong.. it was my pt who was...

anyone can read a pill bottle. but it wouldnt have made for a very fun scenario

the other meds were not important because there were not any pain patches in the bag full of daily meds and i also wanted you to think :P

Aidey is the million dollar winner :D and she overdosed most likely from the hot bath.

well you gave small dose of narcan en route and Pt RESP increase to 11-12 and somewhat responsive to verbal stimuli but its a long transport and the Pt condition returns to previous Vsigns and symptoms fairly quickly. something overlooked during assessment?.. Im going fishing :) so you have...

first of all thats a heck of a assessment veneficus. Appears to be in poor health but clean and kept, skin is flushed/pale. Abd not distended. temp is 98.6F. no wheeze only diminished. some hair loss but she is old. renal status is good. she is responsive to pain only. Bowel movement today...

i will tell you one thing after all those nice questions lol. you may be thinking to hard.. much simpler than most of those things. Without trying to give it away it is something you should pick up on it with in a visual assessment of the pt but im not telling unless someone asks :P FYI a basic...

what test? :P Pretty sure it was 73

Ya that

haha make thread dead... make a different one another day. sorry for the confusion. Will work on grammar for you next time

Fire DPT would have control of scene. Fire also 2nds the request of the EMT-I to use your ambulance as a transport unit.

the problem is your crew transported and EMT-I with a Third rider and moved their PT to the hospital. Does the transport crew ever take responsibility of the PT? or does the original EMS provider keep responsibility at all times? food for thought.

i suppose that they would... but did you take time to read the patches on everyones shirts?

just wondering what would one do in this situation... seems pretty clear cut to me... been reading a lot on this forum. thought id join and start posting.. how do i go back to edit it? it wont let me now??
