Could I get a limited time access? Or even a discount code? I’m really trying to pass & do good, but I’m broke :( Top it all off my instructor just rushes through slides. Makes us buy uniforms, pay for our own cpr classes, pay for castle branch, drug tests, & a whole bunch of materials and books we only touch once. I’m beginning to get really stressed out. My instructor is an old fire paramedic who says didn’t have to take the NREMT because it wasn’t a mandatory thing at the time & even he says he wouldn’t be able to pass it. I’m in such a pickle. Please help.
Should have been a little more in-depth about treating alcoholic patient. I am EMT/nursing student and in recovery from alcohol for about 5 years. I was a “frequent flyer”) terrible name, and all I ever got as a patient was O2 and trip to ED and maybe an IV.
I just took my nremt this morning and got word several hours later that I passed first try! I wouldn’t have been able to it without your videos thank you so much!
beleive it or not, patients like this are a huge part of why i got into EMS. in my earlier teenage years i did a lot of partying and every time i always found myself as the one taking care of everyone who was way too intoxicated and getting them safe rides home or to the hospital. i didn’t formally know what the ETOH assessment was at the time but that’s pretty much how i would assess anyone in that state and i have no doubt that i’ve saved a couple lives because of it. even just simple alcohol intoxication can be so lethal it’s always important to treat these patients thoroughly even if it’s just alcohol. the way people assume someone is “fine” just because they’re drunk is so dangerous. thank you for the video ❤️
Evan I’m interested in your course as a new EMT trying to prepare for paramedic. However I’m not sure what course to take first. Do I take you vault course then the EKG/ 12-lead master class? What order would you recommend?
By expose your patient, I'm saying assess your patient like you would do with any other patient. Again, we are looking for certain signs of AMS. The one "exposure" I always talk about with alcoholism is if they are wearing a hat, remove the hat to assess their head for any trauma. Hope that helps!

I agree tunnel vision can be a bad thing
Yes, hopefully this video reaches as many EMTs/Paramedics as possible so that doesn't happen as much
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!!
Thanks for tuning in! Hope you enjoyed this one
Those patients were fortunate that they were on your watch
Thanks for watching, Ivory, this is why I make these videos so others are aware and how to assess different patients
Sound advice! I’ve seen many make these mistakes.
Thanks!
Great video brother 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed!

Yes, I would start with the video vault, we have a ton of 68W in the vault: www.prepareforems.com
You said you expose them? So like fully take if their clothes to treat like a trauma assessment basically?

Never get tunnel vision!!
Agreed!
Never happens in my 70 years.
Even if they’re a frequent flyer you’re still transporting them so you might as well just do the work
Exactly!
What happened to your forehead?
