Just to preface I'm a BLS lead in a fairly busy system that does 911/IFT. Just had a call for syncope. Get there and a 78yom is laying supine in a bedroom. Cyanosis around his lips, delayed capillary refill, no palpable distal pulses. My first set of vitals were GCS: 15 HR: 71 RR:14 SPO2: 90 and a bp of fucking 59/41. I rechecked it and got another one of 49/33. Called for ALS, got capno/12 lead/BGL/started O2 4lpm via NC and recheck the BP on the other arm and get one of 83/55. PT said he was gonna vomit so I roll him on his side and fire puts a towel under him.

So one of the bystanders say she's an NP and that she can start a line and give fluids. I said no ALS is on the way. ALS arrived about 3 minutes later, turn over care and they transport. She asked for my name and I gave it to her.

Long story short would you guys have done the same thing? Im not sure what the legalities surrounding mid levels practicing outside of their work is in regards to PT care on scene. Curious as to what everyones thoughts/concerns are

Rah gents longs story short I did 4 years in the USMCR and got discharged for smoking weed (retarded I know) getting separated with a General Under Honorable discharge. I hit Cpl and was gunning for Sgt when I popped. I was told I was going to be retained and we got a new Msgt and he didn't like that.

​

I seldom bring up my service and have been doing quite well, I work as an EMT, am in medic school and am starting my own business. My fiance has been trying to play the "veteran owned" anglr and it doesn't sit right with me. Am I good to go or should I reel it back in?

​

Also if anyone in my situation has enlisted into the national guard could you reach out? I've been trying but have no DD-214, can't reach out to my old command to get the information I need for it and am frankly confused with what's going on. I've been talking with a recruiter and until I know my RE code I don't want to waste their time.
