I knew I was in, but being new I didn't stand up for it. It wasn't until the doc finally admitted later to me in private that my tube was in all along and he made a mistake....although it made me feel good he admitted he was wrong, it did nothing to make the other staff not look at me like I didn't know what I was doing on the next code. <BR/><BR/>The one thing I learned about being a medic, hospitals/docs, etc will have no problem placing blame on pre-hospital providers. Don't be an idiot about it, but be vocal and aggressive....in this scenario, ask the doc to put the blade in and let you see before they pull it--especially when you had capnography reading. But don't let them tell you you were wrong when you know you were right--- There will be plenty of other times you'll be wrong in your career and you'll suspect/know it. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856030010029791557.post-68747552738033409882008-06-13T06:11:00.000-06:002008-06-13T06:11:00.000-06:00Nice work.

He has everything at his finger tips, numerous people to help, and a nice controlled environment...You, on the other hand, don't have all of those advantages and still manage to get the tube. Every time I see a medic in the ER get crap for something like that, it irks me to no end because the "doctors" don't have a clue what it's like out in the field. They have all the comforts and protection of their ER. <BR/>A few months ago, I saw a dr. get pissed off at a paramedic asking "why did I not know this patient wasn't intubated?" The medic, who clearly worked his butt off said that the information was in the patch. Still the doc didn't cut the medic any slack. I lost a lot of respect that day for the particular doctor. Wonder if it's the same one...<BR/>Sorry to ramble, but I get pretty heated when the doctors disrespect EMS as they sometimes do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856030010029791557.post-29130142863837205042008-06-06T20:10:00.000-06:002008-06-06T20:10:00.000-06:00I think he owes you an apology and were it me, I w...I think he owes you an apology and were it me, I would have told him so.LoraLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294436393584054853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856030010029791557.post-43118239384675866722008-06-06T05:42:00.000-06:002008-06-06T05:42:00.000-06:00not uncommon to be blamed for this. as usual, ambo...not uncommon to be blamed for this. as usual, ambos are blamed for everything that goes wrong in hospitalsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856030010029791557.post-37626500758771569302008-06-04T21:17:00.000-06:002008-06-04T21:17:00.000-06:00I wonder if its the same Doc that sheepishly gave ...I wonder if its the same Doc that sheepishly gave me an apology last month after blowing up at me over a nonintubated code.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856030010029791557.post-59665154378053892052008-06-04T19:51:00.000-06:002008-06-04T19:51:00.000-06:00that doctor sounds like a god damn idiot...that doctor sounds like a god damn idiot...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856030010029791557.post-39414886059898596132008-06-04T11:57:00.000-06:002008-06-04T11:57:00.000-06:00Can you print out waveforms?
