Thanks ruff for a great topic. Thanks to those that made serious thoughtful posts. Congrats medictexas.

Unless theres a really good fight with injurys, hockey is hardly ever mentioned on the news my area. Before the strike/lockout/whatever hockey had decent ratings not great but still some networks would show it. Now it is only on one channel very rarely. I honestly no longer even know who is on the Stars because it is so hard to get games. That stoppage killed it in the USA.

Sounds like a dumb medic. The 12 lead still shows whats happening including whether pacemaker is working properly or not.

I vote medictexas. Not just because he's from Texas. Part of me laughed because of him calling it rural, but I forget I grew up practicing frontier medicine. His plan would bring the greatest benefit to area served and was geared towards all areas of EMS. Brent and JP I liked your ideas but brent was focused on 1 project that is of great value but would have less direct EMS than medictexas. JP enjoyed yours just think medictexas edged you out, but I liked your focus on helping education. Well best to all.

Go Stars. Stomp the canucks. Red wings suck. I like hockey. Did not answer poll because no option given to watch sometimes. I think in the USA most just do not understand it. We all grew up playing and watching football ( not what the rest of the world calls football but what we call soccer but NFL style ).We stay with what we know. Another problem is the marketing in the USA, where is it. Beyond Wayne most cannot name another hockey player past or present. Since the stupid strike what fan base was developing was lost. Hope that helps answer.

Yes I won. Ruff just PM'ed sorry losers. Just kidding. I was trying to put thought into it and forgot to get back and post. Congrats to the winner. Some of you made good posts, most of you made more fun of the topic than I usually do. Good idea Ruff.

Good to see some classic funnys returning.

Congrats on becoming a Not Real EMT ( NREMT ). But seriously way to go.

You mentioned pulse rate, but what is it's quality? Is it palpable at all 4 extremities? Palpate abd. Any tenderness? Any pulsating masses?

Oh ERDoc you remember the funniest topic ever on the city, I'm touched. :twisted: :roll:

My "breasted American" friend that was funny. I'd type more but I need to cover my rear cleavage.

You'll get your card. If you pass pretest and under current standards you'll probably walk out with a 100.

Why I oughta....

Are you a politician? That is a text book politician answer. It was correct but I was visualizing a politician. No offense meant. I agree, no DNR break some ribs.

You can't be really asking that? You are pulling my leg right? We have gone so far overboard in what kids can do. This is no big deal she never used it on anyone. This is just as bad as kids not being able to carry their meds at school. Parents need to step up and raise their own kids. This crap is part of the reason I homeschool.

You are joking?

At least thats a little funny. OP wasted my time.

I think you'll score just fine. Hope you the best in school.

Females are sadistic. Some things just should not be done.

There is no need for this in class. If somebody is to immature kick them out we don't need them. In my school we have a school shirts that must be worn to clinicals and rideouts. Like dust mentioned get on college campus and people show up in whatever they want and all to often attendance is not required.

Now that theres funny.

Any nausea or vomitting? Skin? Color (normal, pale, red, etc ), tenting, etc. Fever? Gas for heat/cooking? Does she have carbon monoxide detector?

I hope they give her the death penalty. Criminals like her don't deserve to live. :roll: This is more of the overboard world we live in. When I was in school we all had knives. We had pocket knives, knives on our belts, guns in our trucks. Just a normal day. Nobody thought anything about it. Teachers asked to borrow our knives. This is just stupid, have any of you tried to eat the shoe leather schools serve, you gotta have a knife to cut it.

No thats just not possible. :wink:
