Yeah..........I put my patch on the refrigerator. The private service I work for has no interest in seeing it on their uniform.

I am working 55-60 hours per week for a private service in the Denver metro area and making only marginally more than kemt217 in Kansas. Although certainly at the very low end of the pay scale compared to the majority of posters in this thread I would never give up my location for the higher pay.

My NREMT patch is on the fridge, I sure hope that qualifies me!

This Australian is about to be hanged in Singapore for attempting to smuggle 14 oz of heroin out of the country. I don't suppose that he was too worried about people injecting themselves with a tyrant at the time. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051201/ap_on_...pore_australian

It seems that I read one time that firing squads would have one rifle loaded with a blank so that you wouldn't know for sure if you actually shot the person.

At this time I would be fine with being called an "ambulance driver." Now if someone calls me an "unemployed ambulance driver,"............ thems fighting words!

What do you mean the cocaine gave me an Asthma Attack!?!?
ptemt replied to Ace844's topic in Patient Care
ACE, I do not have any experience to speak from yet, but from my training I would think this would be covered by the "M" or "E" in the SAMPLE questions. I would expect that some patients would not be forthcoming on their use of illicit drugs. -
ACE, That was quite the read! Certainly more in depth than Brady's 10 th edition. It would be nice to have it distilled down to a more basic level along side of the full presentation to help us basics better understand it. Thanks!

This is copied from your first post; "EMS drivers are no better than the rank-and-file of American drivers, and we're the worst drivers in the world. "

Ace, Links worked, good reads, thanks! I can hardly wait to get some experience so I can post my perspective and then get slapped around by the Jedi Knights. :mrgreen:
-
Thanks all for your replies! Ace, I couldn't get the links to work but did do a search.

Ace844, I'll try :mrgreen: ! I am interested in how often they are used at the BLS level on a weekly or monthly basis. Thanks!
-
Please share your experiences as to how often you use an OPA or NPA and what percentage of each is typical in your work environment. I would like to hear from EMT-Bs and EMT-Ps, everyone, but please limit it to BLS and not choke the topic with intubation issues. Also interested in patient response. Thanks!

Well okay, 1959 which makes me forty-sex years old. I just got my Colorado State Certification for EMT-B and am thrilled to be entering the profession. Looking at the poll results I see that I am currently in the TOP 12%. :shock:

I will be taking the National Registry written exam for EMT-B on June 9 and then hope to find some kind of part time work in the Denver area.
