[/font:94ba2b8998] It should be the dispatchers responsibiity to make sure all required information is made available to the EMT'S, even a call back number, but as a dispatcher it does not hurt my feelings if te EMT places a call to the pt or family.

[/font:b5fb9c1ee3] Hi, My name is Melissa and I work as a dispatcher/office manager/medical billing for a SC convalescent company, newly opened as of 3 months. I hear a lot of what the guys say when they are responding to calls and thought this would be the site to give me some insight to their end of the business. I truly enjoy this site.

:A Christmas Story 'Twas the night before Christmas--Old Santa was pissed. He cussed at the elves and threw down his list. Miserable little brats, ungrateful little jerks. I have a good mind to scrap the whole works! I've busted my arse for damn near a year, Instead of "Thanks Santa"--what do I hear? The old lady bitches cause I work late at night. The elves want more money--The reindeer all fight. Rudolph got drunk and goosed all the maids. Donner is pregnant and Vixen has AIDS. And just when I thought that things would get better Those arseholes from the A.T.O. sent me a letter, They say I owe taxes--if that ain't funny Who the hell ever sent Santa Claus any money? And the kids these days--they all are the pits They want the impossible--Those mean little sh*Ts I spent a whole year making wagons and sleds Assembling dolls...Their arms, legs and heads I made a ton of yo yo's--No request for them, They want computers and robots...they think - I'm IBM! Flying through the air...dodging the trees Falling down chimneys and skinning my knees I'm quitting this job there's just no enjoyment I'll sit on my fat arse and draw unemployment. There's no Christmas this year now you know the reason, I found me a blonde. I'm going SOUTH for the season

Here in the South, they would prolly take the man in for public drunkness, but if not that, they would still try to find a reason lol ...$$$ hungry dogs 8)

[/font:89c6f69ff3]DAD AT THE MALL. I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes. We decided to grab a bite at the food court. I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, and blue. My dad kept staring at him. The teenager would look and find him staring every time. When the teenager had enough, he sarcastically asked, 'What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?' Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response; knowing he would have a good one. And in classic style he did not bat an eye in his response, 'Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son.'

[/font:79bb091c44] Thank you much for your help, I thought maybe something else should have been done but the medic said being as the pt had a pacemaker it would defeat the purpose of the running the strip, Thank guys for you help :wink:

[/font:824a503dd3] It's a 90 y/o female with hx of valve replacement , Iddm, pacemaker and htn. Pt is acting out of sorts for herself. She is "talking out of her head." Even though she has a pacemaker do you run an EKG on her or not ?
