Question: Does anyone know why paramedics can't carry Neosporin!?
I just got back from horse camp and had got a blister while I was there and I asked the paramedic what I should do and he said that since he wasn't allowed to carry Neosporin (yet he was allowed to carry Morphine!.) that I should ask for some!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I would guess it is because Neosporin is not an emergency treatment for anything!. Still, a few packets would not be harmful!. What if the ambulance driver had a paper cut!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
It just depends where you are at!. It is not listed on any emergency protocols that I know of though for any service or medic!. Therefore, the company does not need to purchase it nor add it to their budget!.!.!.and generally will not!. And it is true, it is not an emergency drug and if someone only ended up with a blister or scrape than they generally do not need an ambulance and it is an over the counter product that mom or dad or the patient can just go and purchase!. Now, on the other aspect of this!.!.!.if an ambulance is doing standby events!.!.which that may be what was going on!? Then it would be nice if they carried a few packets at least!. I know that I did on my rig during standby events just because it was more likely to have this type of complaint than anyother!. But again, it is not protocol at all in the emergency setting so many do not carry it!. It is not a matter of morphine vs!. neosporin though!. If you were looking at it in a pain manner!.!.!.morphine is used in heart treatment too!.!.!.smile!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
