Today, if the odds play out correctly, somewhere between 680 and 850 people will stop by to
read my blog. Over half of you will enter through the home page and see this post.
Let’s talk about something. I don’t know what. You decide. If you’ve never posted a comment on this blog, I’d like to hear from you now.
I imagine that if everyone who reads this decides to post something…anything before they click away, this post should have between 500 and 1,000 comments before midnight tomorrow.

Hi Steve. For new EMT’s / Ambo’s I think the best thing they can learn about is assessment skills. One of the things which I had to pick up from many sources when I had just started was patient assessment priorities and what to look for. Learning how to be thorough, to follow a logical sequence and to intervene and start treatment before continuing on with the assessment ( a patient who is cyanosed will appreciate oxygen before the complete secondary survey has been completed- yes I have seen someone do this). The more practice at thorough assessment on stable patients, the better you will become at picking up something out of the ordinary when it does appear. So greater emphysis on assessment. Thanks, Pete.
