I am a paramedic and author of several textbooks. I also founded Limmer Education, a publisher of smartphone apps for EMS and medicine.

Decapevisceration. I may add that to the #EMT book in the next edition. 😂When your guts are ripped out through your head. #dog #dogtoy #ems #trauma #paramedic

#EMS research should be an everyday part of what we do. If not, start Friday October 10th!

Join us at the next PCRF Journal Club where we review a study that sought to understand how EMS clinicians assessed patients who devolved to cardiac arrest in their presence & uncover the barriers associated with recognizing and treating witnessed. https://t.co/OLB17NQUvU #EMS

@limmerdan Had a student ask me if he could continue compressions during defibrillation.

Me: Once

While reviewing #cpr with my class I said a child is 1 year of age to puberty. Patients are considered adults after puberty. A student asked, “When does adult end?”
I said “When CPR stops.” #ems #emt #paramedic

There are times when lifting a patient to a stair chair, bumping down two flights, transferring to a stretcher and a ride to the hospital in a diesel truck does more for improving mental status than any medication or fluid we carry. #ems #paramedic #emt

Many students enter ALS classes without a solid BLS foundation. We put together an ALS Prep program for students to use ahead of an AEMT or paramedic program. https://t.co/rRGwV5RmJC

@DownToFifer Starting a line is also a significant expense for the patient if uninsured/underinsured. We need to consider ourselves part of the healthcare system. A line isn’t benign clinically or financially. Even close to reasonably necessary is fine to start a line. Not rote or routine.

[Dan Limmer @limmerdan]

@mds1820 Is that MIH by necessity rather than design? Creative and done in the best interest of the patient. And likely defensible with the right documentation. Cool.

[Dan Limmer @limmerdan]

Is there a patient refusal “culture” or trend in #EMS? If so, is it a side effect of call volume, staffing woes, or personnel issues? Is it education? Or is it an early effect of #MIH, treat and release, progressive EMS? All of the above isn’t an acceptable answer. #paramedic

[Dan Limmer @limmerdan]

@Jakeification I don’t know. I know my students have come back from field shifts with 7 calls, 7 refusals. Some valid I’m sure but how long can that average last? I’ve seen refusals that would piss me off if it was my parents. But I also know broad stroke generalizations are bad. Thoughts?

After more than a decade, the EMS education standards are getting an update. A final version is expected soon! #ems #emseducation https://t.co/S3PenMcvEr
