I definately don' pussy foot around the subject. I think that our job is to be caretakers and that part of that duty is prevention. So if someone gets pissed because I have a "heart to heart" with someone in the back of the rig on my way to the hospital, well then I guess thats my perogative to do that. I dont think I would go as far as handing out my number and telling them to call if they are getting into trouble, but I do let them know that legitamate illness whether addiction, mental illness, abuse, should be addressed and the proper help should be sought. Just my two cents. Scott

thats what we like to call Jailitis lolol

I was just having this conversation with my partner last night. We get dispatched for "the unknown bleed". When we get there we see no blood no complaints but then again we are askedto take the patient for a eval because or alzheimers we cant get the RMA. So my conclusion to my partner is that they should take the word "skilled" out of "skiled nursing facility"... Scott
