You a medic at a UK Prison?

I always wanted to visit the UK. I hear we (Americans) arent very popular over there these days though.

I'm sorry our President is retarded, but I"M cool though! LOL

Talking Re: your 2008 first aid QUIZ!!! try it

we will have to differ on your opinion of your president Craven

I don't know where your info on American popularity came from but I believe that is in error

actually I work not far from an American Community School, so I have had contact with plenty of US people who I get on with very well indeed

Re: your 2008 first aid QUIZ!!! try it

I have some mild issues with the test, but that's my old EMT training kicking in. My biggest issue was the question regarding what do you do when the patient has a wound that has bleed through two dressings. I did not like their answer, it goes against the basics I've ever been taught (or taught).

KEBEMT, BikerRN your thoughts?

BTW, either my CPR is really rusty or they do things differently in the UK.

I scored a 90% but I just graduated and became state certified EMT in September of this year. I agree that there are some differences between the quiz and what we learned...not many just minor ones. One such question has to do with CPR and Choking adults. I will say that I agree with Gaoler that the question regarding the dressings is not what we were taught. You never remove any dressing that is bleeding through because you can pull out any clotting that has already started. You apply a second dressing, pressure, elevate, then use pressure points and as a last resort, only with permission from medical direction(which usually wouldn't be granted anyway) would you apply a tourniquet. I know combat is different, but we are not authorized to use combat medical techniques that were learned in the military, at least not in my state. My brother was a certified EMT in the state, joined the Guard, became a combat medic, went to Iraq, came home and the state wouldn't let his military medical training count as continuing ed credits to keep his certification....he had to take a refresher course just to state recert as his expired while in Iraq, working as a combat medic. The logic is beyond me....anyway, sorry for the ramble....I really enjoyed the quiz though...
