Other than sick call meds...you are limited. So don't worry about things that will cloud your brain and potentially get you in trouble.

No confusion at all on my part. The less meds I have to give, the happier I am. I've based my question on what I was being taught at the MTT Course.
Personally, I hope that having access, like you mentioned above, is what I have. I am not comfortable with attempting to make any kind of diagnosis, but once again, the MTT Course is insinuating that we could be in a positioon where we have to diagnose. I'm a damn good Medic, but I also know my limitations.
