Ditto. Ditto Ditto The only thing I don't like is the paramedic asking for a smoke. That wasn't very professionalThey certainly didn't sound like the best EMT's in the world but, taking vitals is important to assess the condition of the patient (shock, internal bleeding etc, etc). Oral meds, food or water is also not given in case you have to have surgery to correct the break and as far as not letting you walk. You may have felt fine and then, when you tried to walk, you could have gotten light headed fallen and then you might have compounded your collar bone. Sounds like her assesment of a minor fracture (bone broken in half) was spot on.
Keep in mind that some tracks do not pay or pay well to have "the best" emergency medical help available. Just because they were possibly not the best, be thankful you had someone to care for you at all.
Sounds like the worst call of the night, was giving someone mophine who felt he could walk and was obviously alert enough to think he could do a better job.
and in those last 4 years, my wife has become an EMT, and will soon be an advanced.Chili said:Wow a 4+ year old thread resurrection!
