It's a meme now
Simply read you buddy’s post in #56 and see if you can figure out why I felt so strongly about what you carried in your personal Med bag and why...? Because, now an untrained, inexperienced, with no medical background thinks that A P.O. NIBP Cuff, and Stethoscope sounds good to have..
Nice!
Any of those trump a newbie EMT...
Whoa whoa there, mr.buddy has some basic training, he agrees with taking vitals. It just means he disagrees with yah.
idk about not using saline, I'm all about some fluids, but it appears I didn't influence his decision all that much if he has some of that knowledge
Knowledge? Hilarious... So Mr. EMT... How much whole blood do you keep in the Truck? How many units have you hung and ran in? Do you use a Blood Warmer when running it in?. Or do you only Run NS....
This is a Rhetorical question..( That means I know the Answer..)
Basic Training... Really....
'newbie', wow man. You don't know me or my experience. You just know I'm on a ambulance and have been for a couple years. That said, I've heard some really experienced paramedics make dumb statements and seen some bad decisions. That's from all levels of care.
youre right, most do have higher level of care, well.... idk about CNA or ER tech because Advanced EMTs can apply for those jobs. Just curious though, if you're not comfortable sharing your level of care, that's fine.
I havent said I run blood? I said I'm all about fluids, reread the statement. We don't carry blood on the truck. I wanna say life flight guys do, but the ambulance we don't. Got NS and LR. The last couple places I've worked had the same.
He has a basic level of training. Be it EMR or EMTB, he's got something. So calling him untrained is not fair
But your buddy who you “Endorsed” as having a basic level of training is off the reservation...
That means you have a credibility issue, if you think he does....
The point is you won’t say where you work and you are talking about pushing saline and plugging holes with tampons. Tampons In wound treatments equal a joke and the industry is getting away from saline and pushing whole blood for prehospital. in fact why did you even mention saline earlier? Even EMR training, a two week class, teaches how important assessments are.
Anyone in this thread go take a TCCC, EMR, or Emtb class don’t listen to people online who suggest tampons in trauma medicine.

Back in the day this was the number 1 item to stop a Bullet wound!
