@gretchemaben Very unfortunate this happened to you. One of the biggest downfalls of paramedic practice is protocol driven “cook-book” medicine. So many patients suffer.

Guidelines and education are the part of the solution.

Hope you’re feeling better soon!

Another essential pain management tool is coming for all paramedics with @BC_EHS. Injectable acetaminophen will be part of the multimodal pain management for patients within British Columbia. This novel formulary will improve the care paramedics bring to the community.

FYI: Guidelines should guide care not dictate care.

They are called GUIDElines not GODlines.

Clinicians still need to apply their judgment & ask patients values/preferences. #EBM

Many challenges and lofty goals for NHS paramedics but wow look at all the advancement opportunities! MSc, consultant pathways, bridge to MD, work outside of the traditional 911 (999) service. Pay attention Canada!

@NicClory @Northernmedic @criticalevels Aside from organizational, policy, and legislation change. Focus on what we can control in our 3ft world! The work you’re doing with the @PARAMEDICPEI is great! Share your passion and positivity everyday. Slow burn is right, persistence > intensity

@BC_EHS @NicClory Paramedics are healthcare professionals.

@NicClory @TheSGEM @criticalevels Part of @UPEI’s BSc Paramedicine requirements is an excellent Critical Appraisal course taught by @SibleyAaron. Understanding and appreciating EBM is critical for paramedics

ACLS and PALS every 2 years is not acceptable.
Skills deteriorate after 6 months.
Run scenarios. Do educational debriefs.
Make it the norm.
Allow people to get better.
Show people that they need to get better and can get better.
