*** Ya we do accident scene too However for every accident scene we do I would guess we do 4 or 5 critical care transports. A couple months ago I intubated a man in a barn with a dead bull laying across his pelvice/legs by flashlight while standing calf deep in liquid cow manure. THAT is why I take a $14 an hour pay cut to do it :)
Now I have had some pretty unusual intubations...but I think you've got me, hands down, beat...now I get the avatar.... literally.... (LOL actually I was always the feces magnet as well)
And the Oscar goes to......
Don't forget that any transport service that uses RNs is going to see a lot of acute medical patients. Yes trauma is a lot of fun but acute medical is the bread and butter.
