Sounds like one person needs your help, others just need a rag to wipe it off. Take anyone who feels they need ambulance transport, and let those who don't arrange their own transport if they even go. Being sprayed is not likely a problem unless there is an injection or it actually gets into the eyes. Also, don't delay the care of the person who needs you to wait for additional units, but rather meet them halfway.Dantariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720833068460590951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026214128770026952.post-29926618520573602892009-07-03T21:54:43.356-07:002009-07-03T21:54:43.356-07:00I'd probably end up piling them all in my '...I'd probably end up piling them all in my 'bulie and taking them in. The whole way, I'd be worried about being in trouble for it.. but I would still do it. <br /><br />My explanation to the "powers that be" would be this: It's a back-to-back MCI with depleted resources and taking them all is best for patient care. What?? the billing office is going to be mad?<br /><br />Extraordinary situations call for extraordinary solutions.<br /><br />(sorry if I misspelled something, had a night and then a morning off and my MGD fridge was calling)Ckemtphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02120372673086912853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026214128770026952.post-23584926525172763732009-07-03T19:12:03.533-07:002009-07-03T19:12:03.533-07:00take em all.. they;re all your brothers they proba...take em all.. they;re all your brothers they probably wouldnt mind the ride. lol<br /><br />But if you have to choose the most serious.. i agree with the ones with the water in the eyes/face to be the more seriousThe Bus Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259280794473075615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026214128770026952.post-30350524565603935602009-07-03T16:02:08.916-07:002009-07-03T16:02:08.916-07:00The one with liquid in the eyes goes in the ambula...The one with liquid in the eyes goes in the ambulance, the others are told they don't need an ambulance and if they want "checking over" at a&e, are free to make their own way there!<br />That's a Uk thing though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026214128770026952.post-62262238761644814932009-07-03T11:28:53.910-07:002009-07-03T11:28:53.910-07:00I would explain the situation and suggest the walk...I would explain the situation and suggest the walking wounded seek personal transport or have a fire apparatus transport them to the hospital. Do they need emergent treatment or any care other than decon and vital signs q15? The guy with fluid in his eyes, albeit only a code 2 transport, deserves your full attention. They're all EMS professionals who I am sure would understand the situation.SJMedicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026214128770026952.post-71583166955282734782009-07-03T10:46:31.183-07:002009-07-03T10:46:31.183-07:00thanks for visiting my blog! think I'll follow...thanks for visiting my blog! think I'll follow here as well!

Your resources are already way down due to the other patients transported, so you may be waiting for an extended period of time for the next 3 or 4 available EMS units to arrive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026214128770026952.post-60244674811983410782009-07-03T08:54:34.132-07:002009-07-03T08:54:34.132-07:00Man, that is a lot of PCR's to write.

It sounds as though some could go POV or by another means.<br /><br />However, I know I can handle one priority 2 patient and five walking wounded. At least as long as I have a mod. I don't think we'd all fit in a vanbulance...The Road Doctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07670122372040160847noreply@blogger.com
