Or 35 y/o female with epistaxis for 2hours before coming to work, Tx was sit on this cot and hold your nose for 1 hour, then go home. He will hang himself shortly. If you are not careful he will take you with him. ABD. pain lay down for an hour and go home, no medical attention at all. Sounds good, I ll have to give that one a try, Please advise him that abd pain pts require hospital evaluation to rule out oh let me see hmmm..............about one thousand different things, some of which could be life threatning. You need to talk to someone about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPINFV Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Wow. This case is one of my worst fears about my summer job (per deim) at a local water park. Sure, 99.999% of the people walking into first aid are going to be cuts, bee stings, etc, but any need to call 911 has to be ran by the manager [who are, at most, only RC first aid certified) in charge at that time. The last thing that I want to be doing to arguing with a manager about the need for a heat stroke patient to go by ambulance and not POV to the hospital because the manager sees dollar signs.

Maybe not the best situation for you to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummmm this is an EMT board not a nursing board, And if you think what I said about nurses was offensive to you. You should look around this board it was quite minor. If you were offended again I apologize Whit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patch Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 whit72 If I advised him that he should immerse his head in water because his hair was on fire, he would just ignore me and keep on walking with a vacant look on his face. JPINFV Thankfully the other supers and the Manager are aware of my knowledge and are more than receptive when I recommend something, usually.
