Doctors, nurses, you name it.

Correct

Lol

Yeah - guess only "boomer medics" like the professionals I worked with actually knew their stuff enough to not need to whip out their phones. Then again, they weren't high ego flight paramedics either - just ordinary people doing an extraordinary job of taking care of the sick and injured in the back of an ambulance. Personally, I'd work with them any day.

Top things you don’t want to hear an ems provider say. Lol

"Got a visual on the vocal chords?" One sec, gotta finish this selfie first."

Ain’t that bad if you’ve got emt experience! Don’t sweat it. Put ur hours in and study the god forsaken pharmacology hahahaha

@@joeygreen5443 Thanks, sir. Will do, and always keeping my ears and eyes open for good lessons.

Did you try using a different way to lock your phone not pin?

Face unlock may work, but your phone may not have it. It's not as secure as iPhone's face ID but still alright and better than not locking it. Then again it may not work well with masks

@@renegade7493 yes Bio metrics, fingerprint

Huh. Imagine that. Guess Captain Cool didn't think of that while he was insulting the "boomer medics."

They all function, at least to a degree without cell service. If you noticed I had my phone in airplane mode almost the entire video.

@@PrepMedic nah, didn't notice. Good to know, though. I have some great navigation/mapping apps that become useless once signal falls off.

Yes

@@PrepMedic if i may ask which one

Good Sam’s, Saint Joe, Lutheran.... can’t remember what else in the area is SCL

I can't find it on android either

That sounds like an app that would be more useful for a firefighter to have 😂 Jk. Most monitors have a feedback device on them or services use the Lucas.

Just did screen capture and then put the video in my software

Every quarter.

Not really. Honestly there isn’t much in the BLS realm you should need to look up.

Why did I not put it in one folder?

The calculator is for any math/formulas. The flight tracker is because he works with helicopters.

No i think he's on the helicopter

I still work on the ambulance occasionally but my full time job is on the helicopter. If you have a beard you just wear a PAPR

I'm surprised, honestly. "Boomer," "Ok boomer" and the like have become such banal, throwaway insults that it's hardly even original or surprising any longer. Always comes across as arrogant, to me, when people use it - case in point being the smug smile that accompanied the usage here.

Sometimes it is warranted. Is the "new blood" more efficient? If so, then... When the "new" is wrong, however flashy it might be, it just wrong. IMO

This boomer just graduated paramedic school at 67 with better grades and attitude than my 20 something counterparts.

I find it insulting. I'm not thin-skinned, so I honestly don't care.... but IMHO it's kind of the N-word of ageism and really has no place in any sort of professional discussion.

Do animals lol

Veterinarians for cattle and horses are always heavily sought after usually there aren’t many of them around. Often times they do stuff in the field instead of an office so it might be more your speed if you are considering ems and it definitely would pay better

Go do a ride along with your local EMS or fire department!!

Medics have trash pay unless you go flight medic or firefighting...keep that in mind. They’re vastly different so keep that in mind too

Cardiac arrest timer app? What’s the name of the app your talking about?

@@camcam3087 nah the regular timer, usually used for assessing the pulse how many beats for minutes.

No flaming needed. I think you´re right. I, myself without any professional medical training other than basic combat medic in the german airbourne, really dig some of the apps. I´m often out in the woods bushcrafting, geocaching and climbing and i hope these apps can help me when shit hits the fan and i´m too nervous to remember. I think he just made a joke about boomer medics and his smirk just meant that he doesnt think that way at all. But i agree with you on unfortunate joke placement. I myself rely heavily on electronic maps and navigation, but would never leave to unknown terrain without an hardcopy backup and oldschool navigation equipment/Pen and Paper. I think the golden way is to use tablets given by your job and hardcopy backups in every vehicle. My generation (I just got 30 this week) is used to work with Tablets and phones and the people are really fast in using them. This can help to reduce time a lot. If you pack the tablet in an military graded cover and you use constant and microcontrolled charging in the vehicles you´d be safe to not loose power. But i would always insist on having a backup, written on paper, in reach. That´s the case in most german responding cars, fire service, ambulances, and mobile doctor teams which are a big part of germans EMS. I would love too hear your opinion on it, since i´m not an EMS responder, just responding to wildlife medical calls as an volunteer. And i will try out some of the apps in training, eve nwhen i don´t need half of it, since i don´t have protocols or allowance to give medication. Hope my english is good enough for this discussion :-)

@TheDoctor1225 it’s a joke man chill out

How about you get a manual on how to take a joke? 🤔

Of course his profile picture tells you he's a medic
