  1. The problem with breaking or bending protocols is, that when it works you cant tell any one, when it goes wrong even if you have done the same thing a hundred times they will hang you. Someone will document that you broke protocol. Although some are just stupid for instance I was reprimanded for giving a pt a bottle of water to drink after we were in transit. I guess that some where it says that "when transporting a pt you are to give them no oral intake but if the person has their own fluid you shall / cannot prevent them from ingesting said fluid" :?
  2. In my kit I Carry 10 DOT trauma tags, a packet of assessment stickers {basically the shaded spots on NARSIS forms ie... injury loc., vitals, name, treatments given, and a small narrative} and 4 large colored markers for classification. I was first on the scene {passerby/witness} when a school bus ran off a bridge this method seemed to work quite well. The medics and hospital staff liked them too it was allot easier than just the plain tags plus when it comes time for the paper work all the info is right there you don't have to strain to remember or play the matching numbers game. I think someone offers something similar now. The best part is you can stick it to your leg when you are writing on it then just stick it to the PT so you don't have to fumble with a clip board when the s**ts in the fan. :idea:
