My first medical situation

that doesnt appear to quantify your claim to being a "paramedic"
 
i know....


im off, its 10:30pm im tired and im on duty tommorrow
 
Tom - show us the proof. What's your surname so I can check on HPC?

Whether or not you give this information, I will be sending a few emails to West Midlands Ambulance Service as I'm sure they would not appreciate either: a) a "paramedic" employee representing them so poorly or b) an imposter falsely claiming they are a part of the service.
 
I don't know if all of this is necessary.

Regardless of what he represents, potentially delving into someones real life and causing conflict with their employers because of an internet forum might be crossing the line.

Let him say what he has to say, you don't need to believe it or even waste your time. Just move on and let it be.
 
wow......
:rolleyes:
 
from knowing the local lingo on duty usually suggests vol ambulance service who do event cover etc non emergency work
 
I will take credit for the being the first to post that he didn't make any sense!
 
haha ya nice one. The PVC thing made me laugh.
Do you think he is a driver or just a young kid interested in EMS?
 
Am I missing something here. I am an EMT. I passed the test but have never treated a patient.

Did'nt the OP write he bandaged the head wound before any rescue breathing ?

In my class the main instructors mantra was airway-airway-effing airway...

Also, all my instructors who had ever done CPR, nobody had a patient that was brought back in the field EVER. Furthermore, some meidcs that were instructirs said they had gotten people's pulses back and breathing but they were never responsive.

But to me, a complete noob, the managing the head laceration in a dead giveaway.....

Its like a bad monty python sketch, they fix the guys bowtie first or something...lol

Huh, haven't you ever watched a movie where someone was severely injured? The most important part of treatment is keeping them awake. If they are awake, they aren't dead, so if you base all of your treatments on keeping them awake, then they should be fine. I prefer to keep a good stock of amphetamines and ammonia capsules handy for this purpose.

Really? Because I was taught that if they want to sleep, let them sleep, just check their responsiveness. If they have any kind of injury and are going to go unresponsive, they're going to do it regardless of if you're sitting there going "Stay awake man! Don't go towards the light!" or not.

PS, don't use movies to back up your argument. I once saw someone empty out a pen of it's ink cartridge and shove it randomly into his trachea because his head was trapped in a tank of water on one of the SAW movies.... doesn't mean it's proper or somthing that will work.

Awesome point, don't do something because you see it on "House" either.
 
now now folks lets give the chap a break, I mean he's not a Paramedic but I'm no helicopter doctor .... and yet you let me get away with it :D

"Hey Brown, its a go"
"Aw bloody hell Oz, what is it?"
"Sounds bad Brown"
"Hmm, an RTA perhaps ... oh no, not a one under?"
"Worse, its the HPC!"
"Oh dear...."
