I always hate CBT's for this reason. I always ask "well what does the patient look like" and my preceptor would just be so goddamn confused by the question.
DYING. When my instructor found out I was also a flight attendant, he said, "Your passenger broke a bottle of champagne, shanked himself, and is now bleeding uncontrollably as you hit turbulence. Manage his injuries."
@@RockyTuxedoFBI Patient In a prone position face down on the garage floor laying on top of a broken card board box under a tuck. Not moving and unresponsive. After checking BSI and scene safety you chose to grab the patient by the shoulder and your dead. He was laying on an active wire that shorted out and cause his death. happened to me in a bit of a joke exam. Instructed make up crazy things just to prove points its kind of fun to do these classes. It can be hard though the material can be difficult and hard to learn.
@@tkonlyme Wow! After an instructor like that, I would have made a 1000 bulleted list and and all victims would have died from my being overly thorough and not finding the problem in a timely manner. But then again, I would remain alive in this scenario, and as he is already dead, I guess that is a good thing. :P
That kid wouldn't even have the decency to pretend to hold a shield, he would then proceed to call it a force field whilst running around with his ultra gun. No matter how many times he had it explained to him he can't do that anymore, he would still insist on doing it any way. Then his mum comes running because he got hit in the face with an ultra fist and someone gets grounded after a phone call.
Oh yeah…. “A mom is breast feeding and is fully covered… all you see is the back of the baby’s head… evaluate the latch” This was on my IBCLC test…except it was just a black and white grainy, and fuzzy picture .🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣🤣

I got so frustrated with my first emt scenario test. It went like this: "You arrive on scene and there's a man with his arm stuck in a machine. And go." "What kind of machine?" "It doesn't matter." "Uhhhh, yeah it does. Is it a hydraulic press? Or some kind of farming implement? Is his arm crushed, skinned, amputated? Is it his whole arm or just the forearm? Is he bleeding?" "It's does not matter. What do you do?" "OK, well, start off with scene safety. Then assess airway, breathing and circulation. I'd then start...." "Your patient is dead. He bleed out while you were asking all these questions. What do you do now?" "Uhhhh, I guess I'd just try to figure out in what universe does any of the last 5 minutes makes sense." "Keep studying."
I bet the person asking the question didn't know the answer either, or wasn't prepared to ask the question in the first place and made something up on the fly.
starting to suspect some of these "scenarios" arent about giving the correct response....but about the fact that sometimes people die and there was nothing one couldve done.

My applied med class does trauma scenarios at the end of the day. We’re split into two groups, one stays in the room and the others have to leave and have no idea what is happening inside. The group in the room either decides or is assigned injuries and must act the part, we can only tell them what’s wrong when they ask us certain questions. Our instructor only gives us the items we need and we are left to figure out who needs what and “save” them within 1 minute. I ended up as a victim with both legs amputated and the instructor had me hide in a cupboard covered in things so they actually had to find me. I’m pretty sure I bled out, they didn’t find me until the last 15 seconds and somehow lost one of the tourniquets.
Great job! I took EMT training in the military in '86 in Oakland at the Naval Base. I was stationed at the Presidio as a 91A so we commuted to Oakland for many weeks.

My fictional patient was found near a dumpster and when I was told they were not breathing I went for the mask...but it was 'damaged'. My partner froze up in fright. Bystanders refused to go call 911. Eventually, the virtual patient 'barfed in my mouth' and infected me with who knows what, then died. Fail. It was all in good fun but I supposed we did learn something.

I actually ran the pt with abnormal labs last week, she refused to go in any one of the 5 cars parked out front because she said that the ambulances bed was more comfortable than riding in any of the cars or trucks her family has. They actually had to move 4 of the vehicles out of the way to let us get the stretcher in, did I mention that 3 of the vehicles followed us by riding our bumper so close they nearly killed us twice on the ride there.

@@froggybug depends on the country. I can only tell you about the USA and austria. In america, emt's only know basic first aid and cpr, and paramedics do advanced first aid, advanced life support, and are allowed to give medications. Same in austria, though they're called differently. Plus in austria we have emergency doctors aswell - emts staff the normal ambulances, and paramedics + a doctor are on the NEF (literally translated emergency operating vehicle)
@@froggybugDepends on level of training, different states have different qualifications. But generally: EMT-B (basic) - ambulance driver, can do first aid, AED, oxygen, not much else EMT-I - a Basic that also does IVs (in some states, this is minimum level for EMS) EMT-A - picks up a specialty, like cardio or respiratory, usually does non-emergency transport work (in some states, paramedic training is required before these specialties) EMT-P - medic. can do intubations and other invasive procedures Every state and department has their own rules, this is just a rough summary
Outside the obvious case of "They just wanted a ride", it is often just a security thing. You want to be sure you have professionals with you if things take a turn. . That said the one time I cracked my head open, I was driven to the hospital instead of using the ambulance. I puked blood all over the car (for those wondering why: It turns out sometimes when you take a fall... it causes your lungs to bleed... and when your lungs bleed the blood sometimes gets into your stomach... and when your stomach fills with blood it pukes). . Though truth be known I live so close to a hospital (albeit one with a terrible reputation, considered one of the worst in 1000 miles) that I could reasonably walk to it. Waiting for an ambulance would take more time than just going. So it would be better if I reserve that for situations where I REALLY shouldn't be moving the person.
I have to say I’ve only had to take 3 ambulance rides…. My first was in college when I came down with the Roto virus plus I have Crohn’s… I lived alone the 911 operator was great she kept talking to me to make sure I stayed conscious until the medics got there… I was fading in and out when they arrived… I remember them asking me question and I said I just wanted to sleep… which they told me I wasn’t allowed bc I might go into a coma so I then asked for them to ask me better questions bc I was tired of giving them my phone # and address… the head medic was great she stayed on the phone with my mom until they got me to the hospital… ps I lived alone at the time so it was quite scary for me bc I knew I was fading in and out and the Medics and Firemen took time to make me feel safe. Y’all are very much under appreciated for the life saving work y’all do! Thank you!
I don't think any non-paramedics realize how incredibly accurate this is. Edit: since y'all in the comments want to cry about it. I should not have said non paramedic. I should have said anyone who has never done medical scenarios does not realize just how accurate this is. Jesus. For medical professionals, I thought you guys would know what I meant.
I disagree, not only are most EMT/EMR scenarios like this, I had a fire chief who would use unwinnable scenarios in driver training. basically you would never even get the rig out the door in his scenarios.
@@Booger414 you dummy. Hes including you as an emt in the blanket term of paramedic... by non paramedic he is saying civillian. You just want to argue.
Had an instructor fail me because I didn't move the patient out of the cooler unit (he "died" of hypothermia). Thing is: He never told me, the patient was in one. The scenario was such that we were responding to a deli shop and the owner leads us to the patient. I even did my little "scene safe" BS, but obviously I didn't ask *how the fracking temp was* ... No argument about how I would've felt the temp myself and should be given that info because it couldn't be "missed" in the real world gained any traction. Still mad about that one :)
A similar thing happend to me in practical exercises so now I always ask about the weather, temp etc. in any scenario. Most of my classmates got a similar thing so now everyone always asks about the weather/temp.
No no no.....it’s got 8 legs...it glued the bag shut too so you’d yell at your partner, while it stole the scalpel out of the OB kit on the back of the gurney.
When we were playing pew-pew games in JRTC, we'd have these senior NCOs walking around called Observer/Controllers. They're allegedly highly skilled professionals, but usually it's just whoever the unit could spare when they got the tasking. If your unit could spare you and you had a rocker under those chevrons, you probably weren't going to grow up to be the next Audie Murphy. They amused themselves by giving the silliest injuries they could to the guys who got tagged out, whether by OPFOR actually shooting them (with lasers, think laser-tag) or them being too close when a simulated explosive went off. Pretty much every injury should've been something related to getting shot or catching shrapnel, but they were giving out things like heat injuries, migraines, broken bones, stuff like that. Not exactly battlefield trauma stuff. The most absurd one was a guy getting a card for a miscarriage. This pissed our medic off to no end, because he was rather keen on our guys getting trained for things we'd actually expect to encounter overseas. They shot him with the controller gun, then handed him a card for menstrual cramps.
As someone who’s been on three deployments, those injuries ARE the ones you are going to most commonly see overseas. Getting shots easy, keep the red stuff in. But what are you gonna do for a soldier that’s gone a lil cookoo and decided to start crucifying mice?
When I was in, I "volunteered" on a couple of mass casualty exercises. The first one I was a "hysterical blindness" patient. Got told how to act, and to not "see again" until I got to the psych ward. I got a great tour of all the departments of the medical facility for a couple of hours until finally someone decided to send me to the right place. The second one was on a field exercise, I had a "sucking chest wound," and the moulage team gave me a very realistic small wound in front and a huge one in the back. I "died" because the medics didn't roll me over to check my back.
how many US servicemembers died from combat related injuries from 2014-2020? How many died or could not RTD from all the 'unrealistic' injuries/illnesses you described?
Literally my final EMT skill test lmao my instructor gave me a scenario where a cop was shot 6 times and the answer he wanted me to give was to transport immediately but I was going by the guidelines of the skill sheet (required) and did a rapid trama assessment. I wish he would have used the required skill sheet instead of spontaneously improvising a scene. ...
I totally understand 😂 they're trying to prepare you for the screwed up real life shit ( rightfully so) but it just gets confusing until you pass the test. Then it's helpful
I’m in EMT B training now, and I have a good instructor so I’m having a lot of fun with these scenarios. Glad I have an instructor who’s not condescending and actually wants to see us succeed. I just wish I didn’t have to take this course through zoom.
I'm an ER doctor. When I was in residency, I had an attending hand me a copy of the book "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie". He said it would tell me all that I needed to know about caring for ER patients. He couldn't have been more right.
Not an EMT but a lifeguard. And oh boy the scenarios some of us came up with were, a little outlandish. I also just had the memory of doing choking scenarios and the instructor would come up with quite a litany of things the patients had in their mouths. Everything from hotdogs, legos, and a whole litany of items.
Yes. In one of my scenarios my patient “died” because I got my OPQRST and SAMPLE before administering Nitro. In another I got “shot” by a Good Samaritan doing CPR because I forgot to ensure the scene was safe while approaching a cardiac arrest patient.
Had an EMT say I faked a medical emergency at a Church to get a ride into town. I looked at him and said "yes I would love to have a ride into town at 7:30pm at night on a Wednesday where by the time I get out of the hospital it'll be about 10pm and I can go do my shopping."
I was having a really bad day at the end of a really lousy week....I happened on this video and i could not stop laughing.... having gone thru EMT and EMT-P...you could not be more correct in your portrayals....It turned my whole week around......thanks brother!
This brought back memories of emt school. We had a scenario where a patient was shot in a parking lot. We arrived on scene taking primary assessments and somehow we ended up all dying because the scene wasn’t safe , the guy who was holding her while she bled out was the guy who shot her. I remember instinctively going for the gun but we all died anyways 😂😂 haven’t gotten to work as an emt yet but seems accurate
My first ride-along, I happened to be with the SWAT medics. They failed scene safety so bad our first call, they nearly got fired. All I heard was GSW, we were on scene in two minutes. They flew up the street, literally screeching to a halt next to our bloody patient and immediately jumped out to render aid. As I said, my very first call, I did little else but fetch stuff and chest compressions on demand. Right as we're loading the patient, the cops pull up, asking us where the shooter was at. The two medics stopped, looked at each other and were like "uhdunno" and then we hustled off. It was almost two weeks later that an instructor at my school pulled me aside about it and had me write a thingy. The school complained to the ambulance company (major city's main 911 service, so no, not naming anyone), and the two medics lost their SWAT certification. I never told anyone, the instructors found the story while going over the assessments from the crew I rode with.
I used to teach an air base ground defense class for the USAF years ago and I’m not ashamed to say I used a very similar technique. It’s a cadre thing...most don’t understand. 😂👍🏻
EMT-B = Basic EMT-I = Intermediate or EMT-I 85 AEMT = Advanced EMT or Formerly EMT-I 99 EMT-P = Paramedic Looks like all of them have EMT in the name. Can’t be a medic unless you’re a EMT. Better off becoming a nurse because society will still only view us as dumb ass ambulance drivers. Until it’s their loved one circling the drain then we become the necessary evil that society must rely on. Luckily there’s still people who care. It’s Called EMS.
You arrive on scene. Get out of your unit. The person that called 911 drives off with your ambulance. What do you do? 🤣 (True story. Answer and the boss's reaction will be revealed soon.)
You can’t be in ems until you win a game of dungeons and dragons emt edition

This is the perfect way to describe how it feels. And the instructor is a DM who's gone mad with power and just wants to see you suffer

"Awesome, being a medic's gonna be easy" and the EMT God laughed and laughed and laughed
The EMT god then cursed the emt for his hubris, and said “ whenever you stop to eat or make waste, you shall receive a call”.

Always ask
"Did a 747 crash into a school bus full of diabetics in a blizzard?
Because....you'll save a lot of time
@@notlikely4468 thanks I'll keep that in mind
My husbands an EMT and I accidentally came across these and he’s been loving them 😂! Especially after a long day riding around, it’s good for him to have a laugh.
Or have a flashback
"Being a medic's gonna be easy"
*top 10 last phrases, before someone regretted their decision*
I wish I could like this twice! The first scenario is a NREMT scenario the second is an actual every day one. Lol great job.
This comment just made my evening 😂
Didnt say BSI scene safety
Instant death
“The octopus has been trained in the *art* of anti-pulling”
Face-hugger has evolved an acid blood spitter on the back?
Anyone else had patients who were absolute lunatics with the emt's, but turned into literal angels as soon as paramedics and police showed up?
Some personalities clash
Every day
Are EMTs not paramedics?
@@froggybug depends on the country. I can only tell you about the USA and austria. In america, emt's only know basic first aid and cpr, and paramedics do advanced first aid, advanced life support, and are allowed to give medications. Same in austria, though they're called differently. Plus in austria we have emergency doctors aswell - emts staff the normal ambulances, and paramedics + a doctor are on the NEF (literally translated emergency operating vehicle)
@@froggybugDepends on level of training, different states have different qualifications. But generally:
EMT-B (basic) - ambulance driver, can do first aid, AED, oxygen, not much else
EMT-I - a Basic that also does IVs (in some states, this is minimum level for EMS)
EMT-A - picks up a specialty, like cardio or respiratory, usually does non-emergency transport work (in some states, paramedic training is required before these specialties)
EMT-P - medic. can do intubations and other invasive procedures
Every state and department has their own rules, this is just a rough summary
The cars the the driveway was a nice touch. Sometimes I just wanna say it. Why can’t you drive?
I thought that was going to lead to something to do with occupancy or patient count.
You assist her out to her car and tell her, “This way you’ll have a ride home and won’t have to wait for the bus”.
Outside the obvious case of "They just wanted a ride", it is often just a security thing. You want to be sure you have professionals with you if things take a turn.
.
That said the one time I cracked my head open, I was driven to the hospital instead of using the ambulance. I puked blood all over the car (for those wondering why: It turns out sometimes when you take a fall... it causes your lungs to bleed... and when your lungs bleed the blood sometimes gets into your stomach... and when your stomach fills with blood it pukes).
.
Though truth be known I live so close to a hospital (albeit one with a terrible reputation, considered one of the worst in 1000 miles) that I could reasonably walk to it. Waiting for an ambulance would take more time than just going. So it would be better if I reserve that for situations where I REALLY shouldn't be moving the person.
Everyone gangsta till the pt starts complaining of a tearing pain in the abdomen.
😂 no shit. I assume you're going for a ruptured aorta?
The silver bullet.
Drive faster
Call Triple A. Administer LSD. Get a fresh pair of underoos.
@@RedT...TheOriginal.NotANumber wait who gets the LSD and do you change the pts undies before or after the drugs kick in?
I have to say I’ve only had to take 3 ambulance rides…. My first was in college when I came down with the Roto virus plus I have Crohn’s… I lived alone the 911 operator was great she kept talking to me to make sure I stayed conscious until the medics got there… I was fading in and out when they arrived… I remember them asking me question and I said I just wanted to sleep… which they told me I wasn’t allowed bc I might go into a coma so I then asked for them to ask me better questions bc I was tired of giving them my phone # and address… the head medic was great she stayed on the phone with my mom until they got me to the hospital… ps I lived alone at the time so it was quite scary for me bc I knew I was fading in and out and the Medics and Firemen took time to make me feel safe. Y’all are very much under appreciated for the life saving work y’all do! Thank you!
I don't think any non-paramedics realize how incredibly accurate this is.
Edit: since y'all in the comments want to cry about it. I should not have said non paramedic. I should have said anyone who has never done medical scenarios does not realize just how accurate this is. Jesus. For medical professionals, I thought you guys would know what I meant.
I disagree, not only are most EMT/EMR scenarios like this, I had a fire chief who would use unwinnable scenarios in driver training. basically you would never even get the rig out the door in his scenarios.
@@Booger414 so why do you disagree with me..?
“6 cars in the driveway; abnormal labs, and just needs a ride to the hospital” however that went.
To a ‘T’.
@@Booger414 Brain.exe has stopped.
@@Booger414 you dummy. Hes including you as an emt in the blanket term of paramedic... by non paramedic he is saying civillian. You just want to argue.
Had an instructor fail me because I didn't move the patient out of the cooler unit (he "died" of hypothermia). Thing is: He never told me, the patient was in one. The scenario was such that we were responding to a deli shop and the owner leads us to the patient. I even did my little "scene safe" BS, but obviously I didn't ask *how the fracking temp was* ... No argument about how I would've felt the temp myself and should be given that info because it couldn't be "missed" in the real world gained any traction. Still mad about that one :)
A similar thing happend to me in practical exercises so now I always ask about the weather, temp etc. in any scenario. Most of my classmates got a similar thing so now everyone always asks about the weather/temp.
our teacher did that so we'll remember to check the patient's temp no matter what
"Bein a medic's gonna be easy" famous last words.
"You can't intubate him, there's an octopus on his face." Hahahahaha!
"Awesome, being a medic is gonna be easy", 1st call on the job later, is when you realized you were horribly wrong
Not only is the octopus trained in anti-pulling, it's got the scalpel before your partner could glue the bag shut!
No no no.....it’s got 8 legs...it glued the bag shut too so you’d yell at your partner, while it stole the scalpel out of the OB kit on the back of the gurney.
When we were playing pew-pew games in JRTC, we'd have these senior NCOs walking around called Observer/Controllers. They're allegedly highly skilled professionals, but usually it's just whoever the unit could spare when they got the tasking.
If your unit could spare you and you had a rocker under those chevrons, you probably weren't going to grow up to be the next Audie Murphy.
They amused themselves by giving the silliest injuries they could to the guys who got tagged out, whether by OPFOR actually shooting them (with lasers, think laser-tag) or them being too close when a simulated explosive went off. Pretty much every injury should've been something related to getting shot or catching shrapnel, but they were giving out things like heat injuries, migraines, broken bones, stuff like that. Not exactly battlefield trauma stuff. The most absurd one was a guy getting a card for a miscarriage. This pissed our medic off to no end, because he was rather keen on our guys getting trained for things we'd actually expect to encounter overseas.
They shot him with the controller gun, then handed him a card for menstrual cramps.
Oh that's PERFECT!
As someone who’s been on three deployments, those injuries ARE the ones you are going to most commonly see overseas. Getting shots easy, keep the red stuff in. But what are you gonna do for a soldier that’s gone a lil cookoo and decided to start crucifying mice?
at least they weren't cards for laser beams
When I was in, I "volunteered" on a couple of mass casualty exercises. The first one I was a "hysterical blindness" patient. Got told how to act, and to not "see again" until I got to the psych ward. I got a great tour of all the departments of the medical facility for a couple of hours until finally someone decided to send me to the right place. The second one was on a field exercise, I had a "sucking chest wound," and the moulage team gave me a very realistic small wound in front and a huge one in the back. I "died" because the medics didn't roll me over to check my back.
how many US servicemembers died from combat related injuries from 2014-2020? How many died or could not RTD from all the 'unrealistic' injuries/illnesses you described?
Our ambulance chief would throw in extra little tidbits to throw us off in training all the time. 😂
Literally my final EMT skill test lmao my instructor gave me a scenario where a cop was shot 6 times and the answer he wanted me to give was to transport immediately but I was going by the guidelines of the skill sheet (required) and did a rapid trama assessment. I wish he would have used the required skill sheet instead of spontaneously improvising a scene. ...
I totally understand 😂 they're trying to prepare you for the screwed up real life shit ( rightfully so) but it just gets confusing until you pass the test. Then it's helpful
Did you fail it because of that?
@@trevor0245 I would have but they let me try again since everyone realized it wasn't a valid scenario
Jeez mine was a fallen cheerleader and I totally blanked in the middle of my rapid trauma
The scenarios and the way the instrusctor is responding is much like a dnd campaign
I’m in EMT B training now, and I have a good instructor so I’m having a lot of fun with these scenarios. Glad I have an instructor who’s not condescending and actually wants to see us succeed. I just wish I didn’t have to take this course through zoom.
I'm an ER doctor. When I was in residency, I had an attending hand me a copy of the book "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie". He said it would tell me all that I needed to know about caring for ER patients. He couldn't have been more right.
Too funny 😂
So true the instructors are ridiculous with their scenarios
Most of the instructors I know base their scenarios on wild calls they've actually had. The Katana one was totally my final TSOP in medic school
I do. They’re all real. Ok. Not ALL of them, but most
Not an EMT but a lifeguard.
And oh boy the scenarios some of us came up with were, a little outlandish.
I also just had the memory of doing choking scenarios and the instructor would come up with quite a litany of things the patients had in their mouths. Everything from hotdogs, legos, and a whole litany of items.
Reminds me of the Test administrator yelling at me "What about that TV, it could fall and crush you, now make the scene safe". Good times!
"You can't get the octopus off"
Don't underestimate me, I've watched plenty of weird japanese cartoons.
Yes. In one of my scenarios my patient “died” because I got my OPQRST and SAMPLE before administering Nitro. In another I got “shot” by a Good Samaritan doing CPR because I forgot to ensure the scene was safe while approaching a cardiac arrest patient.
i got to pretend to be unresponsive in a church and all the “bystanders” were screaming “JESUS WILL HEAL HER”
Had an EMT say I faked a medical emergency at a Church to get a ride into town. I looked at him and said "yes I would love to have a ride into town at 7:30pm at night on a Wednesday where by the time I get out of the hospital it'll be about 10pm and I can go do my shopping."
I was having a really bad day at the end of a really lousy week....I happened on this video and i could not stop laughing.... having gone thru EMT and EMT-P...you could not be more correct in your portrayals....It turned my whole week around......thanks brother!
I think a good video would be “when Fire/EMS gets to put a cuss word in their chart”
Lol. Abnormal labs.
EMTs out here going lights and sirens to go for a dialysis pickup.
Had a dispatcher try to get me to do that once. Same person told me to light it up when I radioed to advise I was delayed by a train. 😩🤦♂️🤷♂️
I just died reading the “he wouldn’t have died if he said bsi”
This brought back memories of emt school. We had a scenario where a patient was shot in a parking lot. We arrived on scene taking primary assessments and somehow we ended up all dying because the scene wasn’t safe , the guy who was holding her while she bled out was the guy who shot her. I remember instinctively going for the gun but we all died anyways 😂😂 haven’t gotten to work as an emt yet but seems accurate
My first ride-along, I happened to be with the SWAT medics. They failed scene safety so bad our first call, they nearly got fired. All I heard was GSW, we were on scene in two minutes. They flew up the street, literally screeching to a halt next to our bloody patient and immediately jumped out to render aid. As I said, my very first call, I did little else but fetch stuff and chest compressions on demand. Right as we're loading the patient, the cops pull up, asking us where the shooter was at. The two medics stopped, looked at each other and were like "uhdunno" and then we hustled off.
It was almost two weeks later that an instructor at my school pulled me aside about it and had me write a thingy. The school complained to the ambulance company (major city's main 911 service, so no, not naming anyone), and the two medics lost their SWAT certification. I never told anyone, the instructors found the story while going over the assessments from the crew I rode with.
@@punchkitten874 hope you’re doing well
Shoooo... BSI scene safe, call for ALS back up and clear lol
You arrive on scene and your patient is covered in honey. What do you do?
Get to licking
Bsi scene safety, I tell the man to get a shower and proceed to assist him to the bathroom in a spineboard obviously.
"Release the bears!"
is the honey all natural?
Ask questions... lots of them 😂
This skit has lived in my head rent free for a lot longer than two years.
Yep... abnormal labs with their luggage bags
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. Last night flashback. Too soon.....too soon 😭🤧
This is ironic. I actually saw more action in school doing clinicals than I did working as a volunteer.
It depends where you did volunteer, like here in Italy i am an EMT and CBRN operator.
Yup sounds about right. The correct answer in 99% of cases, give some oxygen and transport LOL
Being in paramedic school really makes me take these personally 😂
This is the truest video on UA-cam.
You won't be died if you just say "BSI" first 😭😂😂😂
It’s the Kobayashi Maru for EMTs. 🤣
I used to teach an air base ground defense class for the USAF years ago and I’m not ashamed to say I used a very similar technique. It’s a cadre thing...most don’t understand. 😂👍🏻
0:58 me during my exam 😌 this is so accurate istg
Holy hell man these videos are absolute gold. You’ve got EMS down to a science here.
I’m taking my national registry paramedic test tomorrow. This feels accurate based on what I’ve seen so far
I hope you passed, if so congrats!
This was the first video I ever saw from fire department Chronicles and I laugh my ass off every time I watch it 😂😂😂 it's relatable
0:11 The Katana part is HILARIOUS 😂😂😂😂😂😂 "also you're dead"
Seriously who thumb this down, this is a great video
If your laughing so hard, its difficult to push the small like button. So probably accidentally?
This is like a game of D&D where you just roll 1's all day long
“The octopus is trained in the art of anti-pulling” I can’t with this guy🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is my life right now. i needed this
I usually hate EMS/Fire memes but this one was perfect
100% true, spot on soooo spot on!!!!
School Medical Scenarios sound exactly like scenarios in fictional medical tv series like Chicago Med and 911 Lone Star XD
I couldn't breathe, I was laughing so hard!!😂😂😂😂
Lmao this was my medical assessment last week 😂
ME THROUGHOJT THE ENTIRE CLASS
When the Dungeon master is rail roading
It's the complete accuracy of every single word 🙌😂..100% my instructor 😂
Yessss. This is how it be. Just finished EMT school this past march. It was right on point🤣🤣🤣
My emt-b, emt-i and emt-p national registry practicals all over again. Lmao. FML 😂
What is emt - p ?
I think that is paramedic not emt!!
EMT-B = Basic
EMT-I = Intermediate or EMT-I 85
AEMT = Advanced EMT or Formerly EMT-I 99
EMT-P = Paramedic
Looks like all of them have EMT in the name. Can’t be a medic unless you’re a EMT.
Better off becoming a nurse because society will still only view us as dumb ass ambulance drivers.
Until it’s their loved one circling the drain then we become the necessary evil that society must rely on. Luckily there’s still people who care. It’s Called EMS.
Nawaf a paramedic is an EMT
@@hardway1746 I think you have to see your references that's no correct
@@kh040 yes paramedics study basics and advances but that dont mean Technicaian 🤷♂️
I'm having D&D flashbacks

I love this!!!! Lmao! That octopus 🐙 though!
I wish the job was this simple. I am also grateful, though, that it's not.
90% of ems is bs calls
😂
You arrive on scene. Get out of your unit. The person that called 911 drives off with your ambulance. What do you do? 🤣 (True story. Answer and the boss's reaction will be revealed soon.)
Call dispatch and report a stolen unit
@@lastresort5015 Not in this case 🤣 Try again.
S C Administer some morphine and settle into the fact that you’re going to be in a whole lot of pain.
Follow the ambulance’s route on the monitor in dispatch and laugh at the thief’s reaction when the cops go right to them.
S C well what is it??
I really love these videos 🤣🤣🤣
Ridiculously accurate.
And holy shit you do indeed have very nice eyebrows.
I have watched this so many times and I always crack up with "the octopus has been trained in the art of anti-pulling"
Im a new basic EMT and this is probably the funniest video I’ve ever watched
I have no idea about EMT work but your videos crack me up. I also feel that they decrease my anxiety to give first aid.
This made me laugh so hard I legit choked and nearly needed the heimlich
