My name is Julie Brady, RN, NREMT-P, and I am an EMS insturctor/coordinator at Waukesha County Technical College (WCTC) which is located in southeast Wisconsin. I have been asked by Emergency Medical Products (EMP) to contribute to the exchange of ideas and stories on challenges that are encountered everyday in our practice and the EMS field. I encourage you to participate, provide feedback and post your stories.
This is not a personal endorsement of EMP or their products, but I do hope that the opportunity they have provided will be a good forum to discuss the current issues EMS providers face in todays environment.

Current issue for EMS responders…….. how do they know the proper treatment to offer a patient, given their particular medical needs, when a patient can’t respond?

Wow, that’s a very cool gadget – small enough to put on your keychain and super easy to update your personal info. That could really come in handy. How long has it been on the market?
