Here ya go, straight out of the EMT handbook:
1. Air goes in and out, blood goes round and round, Any variation of this is bad.
2. If you drop the baby, pick it up!
3. Remember when dealing with patients, families and supervisors; if it felt good saying it, it was the wrong thing to say.
4. All bleeding stops....Eventually!!
5. Generally, its a BAD thing to use the term WHAT THE HECK in reference to the patients condition!!
6. Anyone on the scene drunker then the patient, is the REAL problem.
7. All patients have a full stomach....at first!!!
8. If you respond to a car accident after midnight and do not find someone drunk, keep looking, you are missing a patient.
9. The dead seldom get better, on the other hand, they never get worse
10. Patients do not read the text books.
11. An unconscious patient is a co-operative patient.
12. Most of your patients will be healthier then you are.
13. Training is learning the rules: experience is learning the exceptions.
14. Common sense...is NOT common.
15. If it's warm...and wet...and not yours...DONT TOUCH IT!
