| You ask your partner to give the patient some aspirin and he states, “That is new to our state protocol and I haven’t been in-serviced yet.” Fortunately, you have gone through the training as part of your orientation. The patient’s wife states that she has aspirin and that her husband’s doctor has recommended he take it in the past. You give her husband aspirin and quickly transport the patient to the emergency room. You follow up on the patient and find out the patient did indeed have a myocardial infarction. The ER physician commends you on a job well done and states that the aspirin may have saved this patient's life. | | | | | | |
