The only thing that Ive done along this route is one morning we were out of sugar so I tried some D50 to sweeten my coffee it didn't work that stuff tasted like crap

Back in the old days we used to have what was called a patch ceremony, when you first get your patch you stand in front of a line of people, and they would punch you as hard as they could in your arm. You would not be able to move your arm for at least a week!!

One question how do some of you last in EMS without a sense of humor. If you can't laugh at your self you can't laugh at any thing

Mother Jugs and speed is the greatest EMS movie ever made their will never be any thing that compare to it Paramedics was just sad!

All I know is that a private service here in rock hill SC a private service (ambustar) is paying medics $18.00 an hr to start right out of school

one question kristo if some one was breaking into your home and they were going to harm you or one of your family member would you not want the right to defend yourself and how would you choose to do this? if this said criminal had a gun or a knife

I agree with the texas law and I think that it should be expanded to where if you see a violent happening any where you can use deadly force

This Idea sounds very possible now, the technology that we have today is a lot cheaper today then it was ten years ago. I think that you should contact your congressman or senator about a possible law to require auto makers comply that is the only way to get this or some other things done

saw this sticker on a jeep and it said- if I wanted a hummer I would have asked your sister

I used to wear a badge until I had a kid that had taken an od and was semi out of it and would not tell me what he had taken because he thought that we were the police because we had those big shiny badges on our chest let the cops wear the little medal targets not me! if you want to wear something wear a stethoscope

I have only been involved in one and it was an older lady that I had transported several time she was not a "frequent flyer" she was a legitimate emergency every time and the family asked me to stand by at the home while the funeral was going on remember in rural areas the viewing is done at home some times (old fashioned way) and I was deeply honored the practice of having some one at the home while the funeral is going on is usually reserved for a close family friend

TELL ME THIS WON'T HAPPEN TO US !!!! LOST IN THE DARNDEST PLACES: An elderly Floridian called 911 on her cell phone to report that her car has been broken into. She is hysterical as she explains her situation to the dispatcher: "They've stolen the stereo, the steering wheel, the brake pedal and even the accelerator!" she cried. The dispatcher said, "Stay calm. An officer is on the way." A few minutes later, the officer radios in. "Disregard." He says. "She got in the back-seat by mistake." ________________________________________________________________________ FAMILY Three sisters, ages 92, 94 and 96, live in a house together. One night the 96-year-old draws a bath. She puts her foot in and pauses. She yells to the other sisters, "Was I getting in or out of the bath?" The 94-year-old yells back, "I don't know. I'll come up and see." She starts up the stairs and pauses "Was I going up the stairs or down?" The 92-year-old is sitting at the kitchen table having tea listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says, "I sure hope I never get that forgetful, knock on wood." She then yells, "I'll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who's at the door." ________________________________________________________________________ "I CAN HEAR JUST FINE!" Three retirees, each with a hearing loss, were playing golf one fine March day. One remarked to the other, "Windy, isn't it?" "No," the second man replied, "it's Thursday." And the third man chimed in, "So am I. Let's have a beer." _______________________________________________________________________ LITTLE LADY: A little old lady was running up and down the halls in a nursing home. As she walked, she would flip up the hem of her nightgown and say "Supersex." She walked up to an elderly man in a wheelchair. Flipping her gown at him, she said, "Supersex." He sat silently for a moment or two and finally answered, "I'll take the soup." _______________________________________________________________________ OLD FRIENDS: Now this one is just too precious...! Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the years, they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards. One day, they were playing cards when one looked at the other and said, "Now don't get mad at me .. I know we've been friends for a long time, but I just can't think of your name! I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it. Please tell me what your name is." Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her. Finally she said, "How soon do you need to know?" _______________________________________________________________________ SENIOR DRIVING As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on Interstate 77. Please be careful!" "Heck," said Herman, "It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!" _______________________________________________________________________ DRIVING Two elderly women were out driving in a large car - both could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red, but they just went on through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself "I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red light." After a few more minutes, they came to another intersection and the light was red again. Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous. At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through. So, she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred, did you know that we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us both!" Mildred turned to her and said, "Oh, crap, am I driving?"

Now that brings back some memories from back in the day

Unfortunately that also happens that same thing happened to me but it was my first wife I was a paramedic and she was not in the medical field at all, but after that I met a wonderful nurse whose ex-husband worked in ems (different county) had he had cheated on her so we both had been through that pain but that was a long time ago and we have been happily married for ten years and are more in love today then the day we were married!!

from what I've seen with my own eyes the rate is about 80% almost every one that I have worked with has been divorced at least once and some several times also allot of marriages fall apart when one spouse gets in to ems and the other doesn't there are a lot of very pretty nurses at ers and hospitals yum yum !!!
