I want to get videos for studying/practice and memories of my first calls as an EMT-B student in clinicals but idk if it would be proper as a student to have a chest camera during calls 😭 someone help
I heard the velcro from a BP cuff go off at the stroke patients residents. Wouldn’t a possible stroke be an immediate load and go situation? (Learning EMTB)
Houston based 911 Paramedic here; You’ll be shocked at how many “possibly stroke” calls you will get in your career that aren’t a stroke. You still need to take the time to get a proper assessment done on scene prior to transporting. Load and Go days are gone except for like a GSW. An extra 2 minutes on scene to do a proper assessment won’t change the outcome of the patient.
Yes every fire fighter you’ll see or meet is always going to be a certified EMT or certified Paramedic they don’t only just do fires they do medical calls rescues fire and hazmat.
@@ySkellztell me you’ve never lived in a small town without telling me you’ve never lived in a small town. Yes some towns and even larger cities do bomb squad training.
@@EASHall132 yep. I did a ride along a few years back..small town with 2 main ambos, another 2 in towns 40min away. I only went to 1 job between 11-5pm. I think they had 1 or two before I joined them. I expected a few more, asked to do another one and they said it took awhile for them to reply to my text because it had been so busy.
@@mrobsolete530x4I totally agree with you. Stay med compliant, manage any remaining symptoms that should be very few, drink A LOT of water (Lithium), and the world is your oyster. Never let something like bi-polar limit you. 🤨
Work in EMS for a long period of time and theres a decent chance you will develop some sort of mental illness.Very depressing line of work. So glad to be done after 23 years.
Oh, so a paramedic is in control, how about your medical training?…..are you actually advanced life support, or you just a paramedic for name sake?….please explain your scope of practice, because here in Canada, your training is below EMT
Sounds like you're mixing up US & Canadian terminology. US and Canadian EMS designations aren't directly comparable; meaning there's no direct 1 to 1 correlation. But, ignoring the vastly different education requirements & sticking with just scope, the closest in Canadian equivalent level would be about an AB EMT-P, or a little above a SK ACP (sorry, but Alberta's scope is notably higher & broader than all of the ACP, though SK gets close). For example, always depending on specific local protocols of course, most US paramedics are allowed to do crics & NTs, and have the ability to use various controlled medications like benzos or fent even if some are only with authorization rather than standing order. Just realize specific scopes and protocols vary in the US just as much as they do in the provinces. In EMS, US has no formal level above Paramedic. Though there are specializations of course, just as in Canada - flight medic, tactical, wilderness, CCP equivalent, etc.
@@JonathanMitchell-o3x Yes you are right! Thank God, if my house is burning, firemen will run in and save me. The chances of that happening to any person is zero but thank God they are there just in case. Um.um, er. .....um, er kinda?
@tedkeenan3341 My goal is to never have this mindset. The best part of the job to me is continuing education, I love to train and learn new skills or improve the skills I already know. That’s how I spend my downtime. If you have a good work ethic you won’t find the time to nap, watch tv or do nothing all day! Have a great day!
Please do more videos like this

Did the lady with heart palpitations convert with the Valsalva?? I never have any luck with it.
You’ve tried the modified Valsalva too?
Im not too sure on this but at 7:00 you guys might've accidentally violated HIPAA on the MDT with the address. Otherwise, great video!
Palpation is to examine something by touching it.
Palpitation is funny feeling heartbeat.
why is the music to my right and the video sound to my left😂
Wait so you are a Firefighter as well as a Paramedic?
Yes every fire fighter you’ll see or meet is always going to be a certified EMT or certified Paramedic they don’t only just do fires they do medical calls rescues fire and hazmat.
And bomb squad depends on where you live

It varies day by day one day you may have zero the next you might have 10 you never know

Working out, sleep, watching TV, getting paid by taxpayers to do nothing all day, that is the life of a firefighter, which you may be someday
Just don't tell her that when she shows up to save your life

Common misconception. Alot of departments run EMS calls as well. Often arriving on scene before the ambulance and providing care.
@@Nick97JS It is not a misconception, it is truth. Even with the EMS calls firemen spend most of their work day in downtime. Pulling their puds
