On the other hand, they also probably will remember how it felt when we did something to them (instead of doing something for them).<br /><br />The question I always have is, "how can we get our students (and new providers) to learn this, believe this and keep this attitude from day one?"<br /><br />Thanks again for the great site.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14638210826687525818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505990433916682663.post-74247582456326740272010-03-25T09:44:17.333-04:002010-03-25T09:44:17.333-04:00Great first post.

I have used dear, sir, and ma'am quite a few times. <br /><br />My goto introduction has become : "Hello there, my name is Adam and I am your paramedic today. What is your name sir/ma'am? What brings us here today [enter name]?"<br /><br />If the patient seems to be worried, I will add the ole "There is nothing to be worried about [enter name], I am here with some of the best in the business". <br /><br />Anyhow, good job with your first post here, and welcome. <br /><br />Stay Happy,<br /><br />AdamAdam Thompson, EMT-Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107359165856983910noreply@blogger.com
