Just randomly remembered my first 911 call as a new grad EMT-B (before med school). This was back in 2008. We brought in a lady from SNF. I didn& #39;t really know how to do all the medical documentation and my partner& #39;s response was "don& #39;t worry about it you& #39;ll be fine."
We got to the ER and I was unprepared. My partner told me to present to the ER RN. I didn& #39;t know what to say and my voice was shaking a little bit. I just started saying things that I thought were helpful. Then I went into home meds and allergies, that& #39;s when it got really bad.
I said the patient "had an allergy to NKDA" and in front of the patient the ER nurse, the ER tech and my partner busted out laughing at me. I was able to hold back tears and decided the right thing to do was to laugh too and I didn& #39;t know what was wrong.
I don& #39;t know why this memory came back to me today but there& #39;s a reason why I care so much about medical education and being good to our fellow healthcare workers.
If you respect medicine, you always have this lingering question about what you don& #39;t know or what could make you look stupid, and it& #39;s humbling.
I came up with my own philosophy when it comes to working with other HCWs (especially non physician medical people) is TASK.
