@homeworkhater5000 sadly an EMT will need to call medical direction to HELP the patient administer their own Epi if they are conscious....

With the Epi-Pen you NEVER put your thumb on the end of it, you always hold it like a child holds a crayon. This is because you might accidently trigger the epinephine into your thumb and it will swell up and will need to be amputated. When administering the Epi-Pen the EMT will grab the leg with the right hand to keep the leg from flinching, the EMT will tell the patient that he will feel a sting and will administer on the lateral side of the thigh, not medial, and will remove after 10 seconds.

Im in the emt academy now, and not bad overall. And I think people who get on here and criticize in a negative way are all dumb because videos like these help us learn both by showing us how its done and by showing in some cases what we forgot. As humans we learn from our mistakes. The only thing I would have done differently is you never asked where the bee stung him or checked to remove the stinger. Correct me if im wrong because i watched this video to try and prepare for final scenarios.

All you yahoos with negative comments are tools. I went through the corse with Erick and he is currently in paramedic school. So check your selfs if you have a problem with the assessment and cant leave a more positive response do not comment. Night Class EMS 010 L.M.C

@maveholic Word. O's right away for the DB pt. Also... a full trauma assesment? There was no mention of trauma at all. He needs to go to the hospital quick even after his epi-pen. Also... checking his "patent airway"? He was talking... he has one.
you don't ask the patient sir or madam "what is your chief complaint?" you should ask "what is wrong?" or where does it hurt?" then according to what the patient tells you, you will decide what the patients chief complaint is. it's not a matter of being ignorant are not, it's just that in that situation the patient doesn't have the time or patients to try and figure out what you are asking them, especially in a situation like this where the patient is suffering from and anaphlacitc shock

I'm sorry but poorly done, you don't ask the patient what is your chief complaint, that's for you to figure out, you ask most patients what your chief complaint is and they will look at you like you are an idiot.
