Still patiently waiting on my M nunber from national. Apparently taiing written before skills slows them down. Oh well. New pay period starts tomorrow so if It looks like I get to douvble medic for two weeks with no reports to write

Just got a call from the guy whom I've been trying to adopt a dog from. Sounds like he and the Pup's caretaker both really liked my questionnaire, just wanted to talk about work and when I go back and what my plans were for the dog. Seemed like he liked my answers. Sounds like someone is gonna be coming up this weekend or next week for a home check...I need to clean the house.

So stoked beyond words right now. :beerchug: :wub: :usa:

I need to get one of those tennis ball flinger wands...gonna wait till they say yes though, don't wanna jinx it.

They're not anywhere other than hard copies at the stations and in the planes/trucks... This company is paranoid about their guidelines getting out.
But from memory, we have the following in part of the drug box
Aminophyline, Rocephin, Valium, Versed, Haldol, Sux, Vec, Etomidate, Propofol, Xopenex, Albuterol, Phenergan, Zofran, NTG drips, NTG tabs, NTG paste, Solu-Medrol, Lido, Epi, Atropine, Ca+ Cl, Labetolol, Metoprolol, MS, Fent, Dilaudid, Toradol, ASA, APAP tabs, APAP suspension, Lasix, Vasopressin, glucagon... And a bunch of others that I'm missing.
Plus we have CVC, chest tube, and pericardiocentesis protocols for ground and flight.

S.h.I.tttttt

What's the reason for being so closed about patient care protocols?

Probably out of fear of getting sued. Sued for what, I don't know... but wouldn't surprise me. They probably think their guidelines are proprietary... and therefore only they can do whatever those guidelines allow.

Just guessing... I could be wildly off base on this.
