The Paramedic Should Be Suspended In Research

Decent Essays
I disagree that the paramedic should be suspended. Obviously there are lessons to be learned from the call and every call makes lessons. If the paramedic is suspended then it will prevent through fear, others from coming forward. Whether it’s the medical transport team with the monitor in demo mode or the radiographs been misread then these errors need to be reported with zero blame. By doing this further errors may be prevented. On the call in question maybe the minijets looking similar needed to be looked at as the possible cause of further errors. James Reason makes a good point that “fallibility is part of the human condition, we can’t change the human condition but we can change the conditions under which people

    It was cold in the office and people who work there can get sick as well as Bonnie and the patients. One OSHA violation is the cord anyone can trip over it, like patients or Bonnie even though she knows it's there she may forget and fall. Then that's a worker out for a few days or weeks they may need. I truly don't think she cares what the safety officer thinks because of how cold Bonnie was and to be honest I think she believes he can't do anything. The officer handled the situation correctly the first time; he could've taken the whole thing without saying anything to Bonnie.…

    Community paramedicine is a new and upcoming alternative to the healthcare field with a vast amount of availability for the paramedic or ems provider to branch out into a more controlled option of care. However, I do not think this is a place for all providers or all ambulance companies to venture into. The paramedics of today are not of the same caliper than when I first started my ems career in the late 70s and early 80’s. The education and skills that are now required makes the current paramedics well versed in emergency care, but lacks in the knowledge of psychological care.…

I truly see both positive and negative points in community based paramedicine. I feel like after reading these articles and talking with paramedic that work in different parts of the metroplex that I have gained a wide base of ideas and knowledge.

    According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM), one of the key recommendations for structural change in the health care profession is “Nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved education system that promotes seamless academic progression (The Future of, 2010). In my opinion this should be one of the highest priorities for Registered Nurses (RN). As nursing continuously evolves the practice of nursing continues to change as well. During these times we are faced with more critically ill patients as well as a faster growing population of ill patients. The elderly are living longer than they did 20 years ago and their comorbidities make their care challenging.…
