You'll never use that in the field.

Good afternoon,

For a project I am working on I am collecting a list of all of the procedures,

assessment techniques, or anything else that you were taught in EMT/Paramedic

school and then told " You will never actually use that. " Extra points if you

found out later you could use it.

You can e-mail me off list if you want. Thanks in advance.

I'll respond from the perspective of an EMS instructor. I teach pharmacology in

depth, and the most common complaint I hear is that paramedic students have been

told by their work partners/preceptors that they don't need to know how drug

receptors work because " All you need to know is what the protocol says. "

A great illustration of exactly why I have long maintained that paramedic

education is best achieved with the so-called " zero to hero " students, who have

no EMT-B field experience. The fewer misconceptions, pre-conceived and

ill-conceived notions, and bad habits they bring to paramedic school, the easier

it is to properly educate them.
