  1. So many times we wanna hold up the "here's your sign" banner and walk away without even sayin a word. But still, we have to answer questions, smile and be courteous to the public. As we all know, we are the center of attention when we go on a call, go to dinner, and even when we go home. I have to remind myself so many times when I get such idiotic remarks and questions from on scene or wherever we may be. We gotta be good though, they are always watchin.
  2. I never pull the tube. I have pulled one once because the cuffs failed and we had no choice. If the emt puts the tube in, I now have the chance to move on to iv and meds. I appreciate our emts and it all has to do with workin as a team and just gettin it all done so we can move on to the next call.
  3. I aid with instruction at my company. Our students are takin the computer based system and the word out is that you need to just relax and absorb the info in the question and eliminated possible answers with the ABC s and use those first unless the scene isnt safe. You cannot go back because you are being graded as you go.
  4. Gotta good one for ya.... don't know if it surpasses the previous tales, but great story none the less.... Got a call just 5 mins away for a frequent flyer. Has some urinary issues and has a foley. This call in particular was called in by the family because he had no urine coming from around the cath. It was all goin in the bag and they felt that he must have been "swollen" and needed to be seen to fix the swellin so that he would leak around the cath again. They said they noticed when he had dry diapers! OMG... Pt. education has got to improve.
  5. I agree. We have to do it and is it what we have chosen. It is hard sometimes doin it over and over again.... Kids at home, missin fav shows, big games, pets... etc. It does get old and I am guilty of the bitchin as well. But we do need to just do it.
