Confusing Patient Presentation

Just curious..... How would that information direct/change your treatment in the field??

Part of my treatment in the field is getting the pt to the best possible care, in the most efficient manner.

SO.... I may reroute to a hospital with blood storage and a surgical suite and bypass my smalltown/suburban hospital, thereby relieving some stress off the ER's and putting it on the surgical suite/blood clinic, so funding/budgeting can be distributed appropriatly - AND my immediate patient can get the proper care the FIRST time!

I do not think of my job as "What do I NEED to know in the field, I think of it more as a continuum of health care. That is to say, EMS is not it's own entity, I do not have blinders on as to what "I need", as an EMS professional there is alot more to my job than what is happening in the back of my ambulance.
