  2. i call shenanigans on all of you!
  3. thanks, theres nothing to save all that comes up is a picture and above it is this Ch 08: Airway Management Welcome Use the buttons on the left side of this page to choose from a wealth of resources that support this chapter. but there is nothing there.
  4. well truthfully. becuase im ocd that way lol. we covered the chapter i wrote my own notes, but i want the notes the chapter gave, even if i did get a 94 on the chapter test id still like the notes before tommrows class on a diffrent chapter how long did it take them to respond back to you?
  5. also if memory serves me right never go into a house that you feel unsafe on when kiwi is asking the question...... and welcome aboard how far into your classes are you, how do you like them?
  6. hi there welcome aboard!....wheres the introduction part. how long have you been an emt-b or (emt) as they call it now
  7. well I live in a state where thats a possibility. but i know my scope of practice my protocols and proper documentation. so they are welcome to try. But as long as I do my job within my training, and to the best of my abilites. they wont achieve anything. But if i dont then i truely deserve it then dont I?
  8. Thanks, no it's not the final test. ive called them i've contacted them via 24/7 chat support they assured me they would get the problem resolved. I was just trying to figure out if anyone ran into the same problems with them. and if so how long it took them to get a response. I have contacted the instructors as well to see if they cant move the process along faster.
  9. no no no now with classes they give you this fancy place to go take your test and get all your notes but for this chapter its broken so i cant get my notes :/ ive taken my own but i still like having the ones they gave. and its called course compass.
  10. i was looking back at his main concern being his employeer? well maybe having a talk with the employeer seeing if he couldnt sway things. but other then that i guess its really just making sure you cover your butt.
  11. i still see it under failure to treat. they never even ran blood work. Medical malpractice has the following four essential elements. All four of these elements must be proven for malpractice to be established. [1] Duty of care resulting from a relationship between the patient and the caregiver. Associated with this is a minimal "standard of care" (duty of care). The question here is "Did the caregiver agree to treat the patient?" If the answer is YES, then an appropriate degree of skill and competence is required (the minimal standard of care). In addition, there may be instances where the caregiver has a duty to persons other than the patient. For example, should a patient suffer an epileptic seizure that leads to an accident to others (as in a car accident), the caregiver may be liable for their injuries as a result of failing to diagnose the patient's epilepsy or for not warning the patient against driving when the diagnosis of epilepsy was established. [2] Breach of that standard of care by caregiver (breech of duty) This is usually established by expert court testimony that defines what the acceptable standard of care is and that explains how the caregiver did not provide that care. Of course, expert witnesses for the other side will argue the exact opposite. [3] Injury to the patient This is often easy to establish, as in when the patient has had the wrong kidney removed, but it can be more difficult to establish, for instance, when the injury is psychological. [4] Proof of the injury was caused by the breach of care (proximate cause) Proximate cause can be determined by asking if the patient would have been harmed in the absence of the caregiver's actions. For example, would a patient undergoing an appendectomy have been harmed if the surgeon had not left a sponge in the patient's addomen? If the answer is NO, then the surgeon's actions are deemed to have caused harm to the patient, and thus fit the causation requirements. A person accused of malpractice can mount a defence by showing that one of the above four elements is missing. For instance, he or she may argue that the injury to the patient was preexisting and not caused by the caregiver. Common theories (types of claims) of malpractice include: 1) lack of appropriate care; 2) lack of informed consent; 3) negligent supervision; 4) patient abandonment etc. how about we file it under lack of appropriate care and call it a day?
  12. i needed to vent so im trying to take my notes from class. but the website wont allow me to grab the power point notes. im stressing out there staff assured me somone would contact me soon that it was moved up the chain. i need to take my notes and there is nothing i can do, has anyone else ran into simmilar problemes with pearsons? how long did it take them to respond to you
  13. Failure to Treat When a healthcare provider fails to treat a patient, there may be liability for medical malpractice. Failure to treat can occur in a variety of circumstances, including failures to perform medical tests, treat a known medical condition or advise the patient to see a specialist when necessary. Medical Malpractice When a healthcare provider fails to act as a provider in the same specialty would, a person who sustains injuries may be able to sue the provider for medical malpractice. Compensation may include damages for medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering and attorney fees.

  14. Just checking to see if anyones up! ok bye!
  15. Sue them! for all medical bills and gross negligence. their negligence put you at risk of "really dangerous" problems as the other doctor put it. so yeah im sure he didnt document that he called you a hypocondriact. id sue him the doctor over him the hospital and the medschool.
  16. Pearsons why u take so long to respond! gah i need my power point notes!

  17. contact med control see if they want to take responsibility to take him in then document and write it down. otherwise not much you can do. other then get PD involved. but best shot would be to make a case to med control.
