Today I went around with a blood pressure cuff and took people's blood pressure (lachatz dam). I knew this was going to be one of the primary things I would be able to do on the ambulance and so I wanted the pratice. I am sure many friends remember when I was taking the first responders class at the community college that I did a similar thing when I was learning to take blood pressure.
I also was involved in this practice scenario in which three of us arrived on scene to find a baby and mom unconscious and dad in an altered state of consciousness. The three of us who were practicing had to figure out what to do and handle the situation. It was a tough call but we did pretty well. We came to find out that they had poison in their food.
