Letmesleep while i truely value your input i have to go on the record and disagree with the video as backing up my statements.

1st your assuming an assesment was done is surely incorrect as i watched the video where near the end all the ems providers dawned there gloves. had an assesment been done would they not still be wearing them.

2 As to posting derogitory statementsI I was refering to anyone who posted them not just the ones i disagree with.

3rd I do not have a high horse only an opion

4th Your correct on not being there an not knowing the whole story

5th Where you work and what you deal with daily should not impact patient care standards. When that happens its time to find another profession or sweek professional help for yourself..

6th I am only basing my statements on what I saw and read here.

Thanks and be safe out there

I could not agree more with Dwayne on his post. =D> Having been in EMS for 20 years an having my share of calls similiar to this I find it apolling the remarks about where he resides werre made here.(GHETTO) I have dealt with many a prominent patient that appeared in that same condition.and have acted in a similiar fashion.Would we be posting that here???With the same remarks No i do not believe we would.

The initial providers have an obligation to render care to that patient in some form or fashion if not stopping at least calling into dispatch an advising of the situation. Hats off to them for stopping.

These guys also knew they were being taped how many times have you been on tape and not even known it. I found out the hard way during a deposition. Remeber you never know who is watching you. Lets learn from this and be safe out there as I am sure learning some thing was the true intent of the original poster

What I mean with never stop learning is every call has some form of new knowledge to gain in thsi field. Also never stop trying to further your career through education that benefits you and your patient.

Great site and contributors to.

Congrats welcome to the wonderfull world of para-medicine. One key to this job never stop leaning.

Faking or not treat them the same do no harm. I have an ability that certainly confuses many of my pt. I am a puppeteer and I an can alter and throw my voice. when I come across a faker i usually yell in my man voice to my partner were losing him or her. I wait for my partners reply. Then in a soft womans voice I say the patients name and suggest they follow me to the light. This opens eyes fast. I have also used the tube suggestion to and have actually torn open bandage packages for the sound effect.

Great topic and responses. I found that having a patient supine or in a relaxed position allows the electrodes full contact without having the normal skin movement interfere with a tracing. Just my two cents as a newbie.
