RuralKSEMS Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Glad to hear your son is OK!! What was the biggest thing you learned from being on the other side? I've always tried to treat the pt and their family with respect. Probably the biggest thing is to continue to do so and to try harder not to jump to conclusions or make assumptions. And that high fevers really can cause altered loc's and hallucinations. Up to this point, I'd never seen anybody with a temp higher then 102. It hits higher then that, and they get a little loopy. My son has very little memory of what happend when he was in the local hospital (good thing too since they had to give him rectal tylenol) and not much of a memory of riding in the ambulance. The only real thing he remembers from the hospital when he was out of it was all the "blood draws" he got. It took a total of three attempts for the IV and then he ended up getting four more sticks for blood work in less then 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
