    I am new here and I have respect for EMT people and their issues,  both from the patients and medical professionals.  IMO,  EMTs are de facto nurses and doctors.   Since I am ill with genetic form of Degenerative SpinoCerebellar (Ataxia),  Epilepsy and BiPolar with Mania.  Because of these issues and the primacy of medical intervention , I think it would be cool to discuss these matters,  no only from medical people but patients also.  Excuse my poor grammar and I am a brat.   Daughter of a doctor.

    I am writing this in hope of feedback, I have a nephew that has passed the EMT class, he passed his practicals.. The problem now comes with the actual National Registry test. He has failed 4 times, the kid does legitimately have a learning disability and qualifies for special accommodations  . As I am helping him fill out the papers I am not sure what to request. Other than more time maybe ?   

    This is really heartbreaking to my family he worked so hard and knows the material, he just does not test good.. 

     

    Thank You 

     

     

    I feel badly for you.   And I hope you can find some resolution and a good outcome.

    Greetings!

    Years ago I found this site as a brand new provider. It helped shape where I am now and put me in touch with mentors I am forever indebted to. Site activity has been quite low for some time now so It's difficult to say if it would serve a new provider the same as it did me.

    I am not an EMT but I do respect the craft,  BUT I do not agree with all the stuff.   Like AMA, Informed Consent and autonomy.  

    Rules for exposing a patient?

    There is a caveat to treatment called 'Informed Consent'.  If I break a wrist then I could assert myself calmly and do the 'AMA' thing.   And if transported certainly no clothes would be off or cut away.    Nor in the ER either.   I am an 18-year-old female who knows her rights.   I am a high risk person with Epilepsy and Ataxia (Degenerative Spinocerebellar type).  I am always skating on thin ice but where I can,  I assert myself. Everything in context.
