Im half way through with my internships in the paramedic course, and Im still struggling with scene management. I googled “ems scene management” in hopes to find help and came to another article of yours. Thanks for this, I cant say I will go on to my next call being 100% better but I at least have something to aim for now. Thank you again.

Great Alan. Since your working in a high risk, low call volume type position, I’m glad to hear that you’re doing a bunch of training. Keep it up brau.

I did CPR and bagging for the first time about two weeks ago on a paramedic ride along. I was amazed at how calm and organized the firefighters and paramedics were. The firefighters and paramedics were very supportive of me. It was a very enjoyable call. Although I made mistakes I can’t wait to go do it again so I get better at it.
