I'm not a medic at all. The group I ride with wanted to call me "medic" because of all the supplies I carry with me. Knowing what it took to become a medic and especially a combat medic, I wouldn't allow it. Was taught a lot of medic skills from growing up logging and military service. I'm glad I found your channel. Very professionally done. Knowledgeable, professional, and informative.

that sounds similar to the "rights" of medication. the other rights include the right ordering provider, the right to know more about a medication, the right to request alternative choices, and the right to refuse medicine // medical care (think: religious refusals or written DNR // DNAR // DNI orders for terminally ill individuals)

Paramedic in China? Interesting. I wonder what the differences would be. Are international standard courses like ITLS, ACLS etc available in China? Can you give morphine? Are you working for private companies or government services? In Europe, we have benefited from US innovation in the pre hospital field a lot too in recent years.
@chewchin70523 жыл бұрын
@@gusjeazer actually, there’re no paramedics in China though I called myself as a paramedic. In China, every pre-hospital treatment is given by a doctor or a nurser. See? The emergency medical service is relied on the doctors and nurses instead of EMTs. Once you got the qualification of a Doctor, every medication is available in theory, but you have to obey the protocols made by the medical dispatch or the hospital where you work. The courses like ITLS, ACLS are totally available in China but you don’t have to get qualified in these courses if you’re a doctor on the ambulance. Morphine is one of the most controlled drugs, so there would be no morphine in an ambulance except you got the special prescription for morphine before departing. There’re two ways of becoming a prehospital aider, employing by a ER or a medical dispatch. Any private companies are not reliable because they’re even not a first aider, they mainly charge the transportation of the old.

One thing I noticed. Is when you first went over drawing up the med you pulled down into the medication before injecting air. We were taught not to inject the air into the medication but above the medication so as not to introduce air into the medication itself. However I'm just a Medic student clearly you have more experience then I do. However I did find value in this especially with the 8 rights since we were only taught 6

Hi Sam, I was hoping you could clarify something for me. So say that I was drawing up a medication to give intramuscularly. Once I get the medication up to the correct marking on the syringe, what do I do with the medication that is still in the needle? Is it not enough to need to worry about (giving the exact dose). I’m referring to the medication in the needle when the medication is up to the correct marking

Your statement about incorrect medication having a high percentage of deaths are so true. About a week after coming out of the ICU from being on life support for 2 weeks. Had a nurse trying to give me a dose in the PIC line. Saw the markings didn't look right. Asked what it was and informed her that wasn't one of my medications. We had been arguing for a few minutes when my wife woke up from the cot they had put in the room for her, came over and turned the chart over and pointed out it was the wrong patients name on it.

What is the reason you do not use the same needle in a IM injection ?
@thenewsshow3 жыл бұрын
Every time the needle is used, you take some of the edge off the bevel and roll it back into a bur. This makes the next stick more painful for the patient and may create a (small) risk of microscopic pieces of the bur breaking off inside the patient and creating a vector for infection. This happens whether you are piercing skin and muscle on a patient, or the rubber stopper of a medication vial or the hub on an iv line or bag. There is also a (again, small) risk of pieces of the rubber stopper from the medication vial being left inside the needle and injected into the patient if it is reused. A blunt filter needle, as its name suggests, has a filter which prevents small pieces of the rubber stopper from being aspirated into the syringe. Needless cannulas don't cut pieces of the stopper out like a cookie cutter the way a needle would, they spread the stopper apart, lowering the risk of pieces of the stopper breaking off and being aspirated into the syringe.

You should seriously consider seeing a chiropractor, if you haven’t already. Your shoulders look just like mine used to. I was basically same build and fitness level you appear to be, and my t-shirts would always slide to one side of my neck... I was 100% against anything chiropractic but eventually went so my wife would stop hassling me. My neck was also in bad shape, I would NEVER look up (to look at airplanes and junk) without supporting my head with my hands. Also my lower back hurt chronically. All that went away with regular chiropractic care and the ONLY trade off is the money spent, something you can’t claim with any surgery or drugs. I use normal MDs for everything else but they are not the best for spine problems (unless bones are broken). Just my 2cents. I wouldn’t bother typing this out if I didn’t greatly appreciate your videos (and ultimately respect your choices in life).

It’s not impossible to do tac med as a nurse but it is harder. Generally I tell people that if they want to work prehospital paramedic is the way to go and if you want to work hospital, nursing is the way to go. Nurse education is not as well suited to prehospital tac med because you lack some fundamental skills coming out of school such as surgical crics and intubation. Some states will have bridge programs you can do though 🤷♂️

We have the Pre-Hospital Registered Nurse in Pennsylvania...California and Idaho also have a pre-hospital nursing specialty...you have to take 6 months extra training to get your specialty as a PHRN...as any nursing specialty...but with this specialty, you are allowed to do procedures and push meds beyond paramedic protocols so long as you are A) Trained in those skills and B) have permission from your medical director. In Pennsylvania its usually a requirement to have your PHRN in order to be a flight nurse...obviously field time is necessary too...I had mine, and was a medic before...but that isn't necessary...as far as being on a SWAT team...yes, I have a buddy who was a PHRN who was on the SWAT team...they were unarmed, though...I don't know what Idaho and California allow...and yes, you definitely can bridge from RN to Paramedic...
