aren't ems trained to look for the symbol on the tags? just me being curious again. :wink:

Hi curious,
 

I think they have to want to take the time. They have to care what the special orders are for a patient. Some donot.

We go through that with hospitals all of the time where they don't listen to what the patient says about sensitivites to meds, tapes, even after being told.

I see people on here talk about how the Nurses rip their tap off even after they say they are sensitive to pain.

They aren't all like that but a lot of times they have this, I know what I'm doing attitude.

I read the back of my card yesterday and it says that the VNS can be shut down by taping the magnet over the area where the box is. They didn't do it.

I've had Drs. to give me valium after telling them I can't take it.

They still aren't educated enough at times on certain things to think it's important enough to do those things asked of them.
