Cool thanks for the advice and chris i am in NJ for the summer

I dont have money for that and i am not even in a place i can do that thanks chris but i just want to practic working through scenarios in here i am ok with my hands skills but i just want to work on going through some scenarios

ok i fell a littly rusty with my scenarios and wanted to know if someone could give me one? Please and Thanks.

Hi nice to meet you hope you like it here! it is a good place to learn!

Ty are you mixing up the dates too? i know i am i think being in the woods is messing with my head

Ok so i was right as long as the patient is oriented and all requirements are fully understood and know the risks of not going your not liable.

When I was in EMT school I was told that if a patient wants to AMA you have to tell them all the risks ect... and I was also told that if they sign and they do get worse or die you are not liable for that. Today some one else was telling me I was taught wrong and no matter what you are liable for them. Is this right? and why?

wow interesting. so what would replace the c-collar?

Hi Kyle nice too meet you. If you have questions feel free to ask. And good luck in school.

I am not sure about a quizzes but we give the students work sheets I can try to find one if you want?

so if i remember right there different levels of the DNR. Are there? Do they very for each person?

you get a diet soda Drops in a quarter

This is true one of my friends has no right carotid and he some times dose not wear his medical alert tags that could be bad

Ok I was not saying that I was making that call I wanted to know what ccmedoc meant

My first full arrest was an older pt with aggressive cancer in the lung,and more apparently. He didn't have a DNR so is this what your saying? is he should have?

So I was reading up on this and found some good information and I learned allot and I have another question? A variety of surgical procedures are available to repair pectus excavatum, here is on of three but this one brings me to another question. The questions iswith the steel bar would that effect the placement of pads/electrodes? And that would make CPR harder right? The Nuss Procedure: Usually restricted for adolescent patients, Cleveland Clinic thoracic surgeons use a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) technique to correct pectus excavatum. Through two small incisions on either side of the chest, a curved steel bar (known as the Lorenz Pectus Bar) is inserted under the sternum. Individually curved for each patient, the steel bar is used to ‘pop out’ the depression and is then fixed to the ribs on either side. A small steel, grooved plate may be used at the end of the bar to help stabilize and attach the bar to the rib. The bar is not visible from the outside and stays in place for a minimum of two years. When it is time, the bar is removed as an outpatient procedure.

I have a friend and her sister just died her sister had a DNR and it got me to thinking about DNR's and our profession. Has there ever been a time in your EMS career that you have wanted to try and save someone and not honor a DNR?

that is what it looked like but a little more caved in Thanks.
