I'm Certed! (Or Certifiable)

[Daylonious]

All -

Okay, passed the first stage towards my DM cert. Did Emergency First Responder this week, and passed the first (primary) and second (secondary) care tests with a double 100%!

SOO.. if you're struck by lightning, in a car accident, dive headfirst into a pool, in need of a log roll, need some primary wound assesment, or some rescue breathing, I'm you're guy!

"Hi, My name is Daylon, I'm an Emergency Responder, May I Help You?"

Kudos!

Here's one question to you (since you're in the states): how realistic is that question for the states:
"Hi, My name is utnapistim, i'm an ER, may I help you?"

I'm asking because the course stressed it VERY much and I (all of us in class) felt it'd be a bit unrealistic (at least this is the general attitude in Cyprus and in Eastern Europe I think it's about the same).

I think it is more of a cue to begin the first aid dialogue. It's drilled into you so that when the spit hits the fan, you start there and then move onto the ABCD's

Nice Job Daylonious!

I agree that the EFR statement is awkward - I think it has more to do with liability... or maybe letting the injured person know that you're about to start touching them and not to freak out?

That is because they CAN refuse treatment...

Congrats! Way to go...

I see the terminology has changed. In my day is was "I'm medically trained and can help you."
