I've noticed that the more and more I don't work regularly in EMS, the more and more I forget.
I think I'll always remember the basics, but part of me wishes I didn't so easily forget some of the finer points of EMS.
During our first EMS club meeting we did several skill demonstrations. While some of the people I worked with did an amazing job describing and showing skills, some of the students said remarked how different it was in class when I was alone demonstrating the skills. The hand placements for backboarding and rolling a patient, and just the general movements didn't seem as precise or accurate when I described them to the students.
How do those people who work in rural EMS or only see X traumas a month deal with the loss of knowledge?
