Re: downtime

["Jonathan Godfrey" <JGODFREY@cnmc.org>]

Our medics do not assist in the hospital except in traumas and codes. Their role is limited and they do not intubate. That will change very soon in that they will go to the OR for skills/competency. One problem that has contributed to this is that we do not employ our medics we contract though a vendor.

what is the job description of medics who work in hospitals on down time?
how do you convince your docs to let you intubate?
