What are some examples of common medical scenarios?

Some examples of common medical scenarios include a fallen elderly patient, a middle-aged person being reported as being drunk for consecutive days, an elderly patient claims she is weak or shaky and a report of a feeding tube falling out. These instances occur regularly according to EMS1.

Many medical scenarios outlined in typical patient simulation programs, while well-prepared, only outline about one-third of the situations real-life EMTs and paramedics actually encounter. Most patient scenarios lie outside the parameters bulleted on the National Registry skill sheet, states EMS1.
