  1. Done got buyers standing by. :twisted: :wink:
  2. So for those that say they have not been hit on, is it because of the professional manner with which you handle things or is it because of something else?
  3. Afib is a chaotic ryhthm with no rhyme or reason for its QRS's right? Irregularly irregular with no p-waves? So no way anything could be premature as nothing is organized? Remember I am a student so am I right?
  4. But think about shocking grandma back to life with TV channel X broadcasting live. Wow we are heros then like fire and can get whatever we ask for. Currently there are no real action photos or video because of legal issues. Anything released has to be sanitised so far that the public does not get any real idea what we do.
  5. Just saw this post about said subject on another site and actually kind of agree. "Why is EMS basically an unknown service in the USA? Because we never get to talk about our calls. We never get to draw any positive attention. We never get to show the blood and guts. You always see cops and fire fighters for lack of better term bragging about what they just did. The public sees and hears them but they never hear from USA EMS people about our work. They only see the bad headlines or the call 911 in emergency statements. If we can not talk about whats done to actual patients no wonder the public disrespects us by calling us ambulance drivers. Honestly I wish we could tell them about some of the things we are required to do and even include real footage. The public would soon realize that we do a whole lot more than provide free rides to the hospital. So I refuse to judge this EMT for taking a moment to bragg and be a hero for attempting to save a life."
  6. LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) - Eight people are dead and a ninth is reportedly in critical condition after a helicopter crashed yesterday afternoon approximately 10 miles south of Morgan City. http://www.kplctv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9...mp;nav=menu66_2 [web:283f7f7790]http://www.kplctv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9617922&nav=menu66_2[/web:283f7f7790]
  7. I see. Just did not notice any topics that this came from.
  8. What brought this on?
  9. Wow I must be a CCT-EMT-I I need to request a new patch. In 911 service I place people on vents for our long transports. I start drips. Guess I need to request more money.
  10. Must be what else could he mean? Must be cool to work with such talent.
  11. Only 48 wow wish I had that instead of my 120. Of course slow service here. I to always keep the vials, though still does not prove what I am actually wasting. It also serves as a reminder to restock.
  12. Protocol will also need to include meds that can be administered while not transporting. Provide relief but when no transport actually needed, not transport. We really need to start acting as Pre Hospital Medical Professionals not taxi drivers. Vent every patient deserves compassion but it does not mean they all need transport. There is no black and white in EMS, some people will need transported while others with similar but not as bad events will not need transported. Will there be mistakes made, well do errors occur at the hospital? So yes, but in the field most mistakes will probably still be transporting people that do not need transport. DNR still gets any treatment they need based on their instructions. If they just want a ride that could be done by other means then they will be denied and assisted accessing other services, see public education. If you transport everyone only education that public gets is we are a free taxi.
  13. Sometimes its first to leave, just with a different medic on it while first medic gets stuck deciding who lives, who dies.
  14. Wow I know someone that would wear them. And think it makes him more important.
  15. Adult protective services and the humane societyneeds calls from the sound of it.
  16. My IQ dropped as I watched 2 episodes.
  17. Nope just told her no. I was so proud, maybe he had read my posts here at the city.
  18. Can I sell Itku2ers organs if I win?
  19. I saw that one to. That was funny.
  20. And money should not by you a ride in the first ambulance.
  21. It did surprise me a little that even in high humidity long sleeves were recommended.
  22. Even longer because you want to be stable and find the right someone for the kids to look up to without them getting hurt.
  23. I have requested testing as I do not want any doubts about me. I even requested the hair test. I got neither.
  24. Heres more info, but not the study: http://adventure.howstuffworks.com/jungle-...l.htm/printable http://www.nps.gov/bibe/planyourvisit/survive_the_sun.htm http://www.azcentral.com/community/chandle...r-heat0704.html http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/ba...thread_id=15626
