And again he's back lmao. I have to say it was so nice to come into the forums and actually have some sort of intelligent conversations. Now I would love to call him an asshole, racisit piece of shit, moron with little man syndrom, and just a complete fuck-up. But I wont because Im going to try my hardest not to responed to what ever spews out of his finger tips but I do have great belly laughs at what he types. I have learned through the years that those that deny are the ones that are suffering from what ever they deny, So everyone have a nice day even you crotch

No you dont want our opinion. You want us to agree with you and your ideas. I somehow truly doubt that will ever happen.

Squint in order to pay for your camping fee's you have to actually make it to the west coast, I think PCP will know the differnce between Safeway salmon and dungeness lol. My son was here for a week and this is what he is leaving with: 150 lbs of halibut 50 lbs of salmon Candied salmon Smoke salmon Smoked black cod and 10 Dungeness crab Nice haul eh...................................................................................

Well ask that of a parent of a child with this disorder. I'll bet you will get a pretty hostile response. I have many friends with children diagnosed with ADD or ADHD. They will all tell you that it's a disease and not bad parenting. I know these people, all are very good parents and they have infinite patience with their children even though they are sometimes brought to their wits end and near breakdown because their children are so hard to control, even with medication. My best friend is a child counselor and he works with ADD and ADHD and autistic kids and he will be the first to tell you that this is a valid and real disorder. So you of course don't bother to put your own vote out there but I'll bet that you fall under the belief that it's bad parenting and not a disease. Tell us what your thougts are and why you believe those thoughts to be true.

I believe Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees is the song you're looking for. This only works, however, if you take the patient's arms, move one of them down to the hip, and the other one pointing straight up...

I am gonna jump in with Dwayne on this one for a little while and do an virtual exploration of this lady's abdomen. Here are some more questions What does a hernia feel like under palpation? What does a AAA feel like under palpation? Is it possible for an AAA to bulge out the front of the abdomen? If there were an AAA what vital signs would you expect? What would possibly pertrude when abdominal pressure is increased by changing position? What would be more urgent, the bulge or the BP?

This will really solve all of Chicago's problems: NOT ! Let's force them to hire 111 people that didn't score in the hiring range over more qualified folks. On top of that give a bunch of other losers cash payouts for not being smart enough to test well on a fair entrance exam. I don't care whether an applicant is green , red , white ,yellow, black, or some combination thereof. If you don't get a passing score on the entrance exam, you don't get hired. This is not about equal opportunity, It's about lowering the standards so minorities can get hired.' Reverse discrimination at it's finest!

Thanks buddy. I am impresed all the time by everyones post. There is an occasional "goober smooch" but most of the post are dead on. I will start EMT-I next month. I am really looking forward to movin' up the food chain. Your question is not juvenile. We all wonder about the unknown. I hate funky smells. Melena, "fromundacheese", bacterial vaginitis you can smell across the room, and other degrees of nastiness make me puke. So if I have to barf I get it over with and get back to the task at hand. Boood is not gory when placed in it's proper context. Blood is the life sustaining fluid that must remain in the body. So a blood leak is simply a problem that must be fixed. A friend and I were talking about the guy that got his penis droped in the food disposal. His oppinion is that it would be appaling and traumatic to see. I opine that it is simply a bleeding flesh wound that needs attention (no touriquet of course). :0 Don't ever feel like less of a provider if some particular incident makes you "toss your cookies". As long as you keep a clear mind and get the job done it will be OK. Some jerk might give you grief about it but "screw him". Keep asking the good questions.

Or.. They could take the last ten academy classes, and hire the best possible (score, fitness and performance) candidates from each class, say about ten each. Without knowing what color their skin is.

late edit .. dang chbar beat me to the punch line ... again.

Yeah man, we have folks that promote their stuff in here without buying ads sometimes, but they at least try and participate so that they contribute to the site. So far your posts are just spam...

1. That D50 can be given P.O. (by mouth). 2. Never get a refusal on a drunk, especially one that has endured any form of trauma (even minor). 3. That glucose machines are not always accurate. 4. That some drug ODs actually present as hyperventilation, until they quite breathing about 15 minutes later. 5. For every flight of stairs you are climbing, you can add another 100lbs to the patient, same for every foot of space-width that is lost in a mobile home hallway. 6. When patients say "I am dying", they are usually right. 7. Treat the patient, not the monitor, some folks have some ugly rhythms, but it is what they live with everyday. 8. Always check your truck completely, the day you dont will be the day you are missing a piece of equipment, at the worst possible moment. Especially if you work a busy 24, cant tell you how many times I have had to go to the last call location or ER to get equipment that was left by previous shift. 9. Never leave a patient that has called 911 more than once in a day, it is bad to have to explain why a patient called 3 times, was not transported, and died. 10. To combat the medication errors mentioned before, do not put medicine vials that look identical right next to each other in the drug box (albuterol and Atrovent), put medications that are potentially deadly (Heparin, Dopamine,) in its own separate ziplock bag and label with magic marker so you have to be a double dumbass to grab the wrong bag. If you have meds that are almost identical, switch the vendor on one so you get a different color box or size of ampule. Ideally, you should have a dial-a-flow or pump on medications that can be deadly. 11. Not all doctors graduated at the top of there class, and many ER Docs are not ER Specialist, but may be a dermatologists who is working part-time (especially the more rural you get), sometimes you have to step up and be a patient advocate. Thats a good starting list.
