Disgraceful

It was probably Dust being chased down by the fire unions ... maybe not, he could still be in Texas

All our stations are "residential" in that they have bedrooms, kitchen etc and Officers can sleep after 10.30pm if there are no jobs and everything is done. Most stations only have one or two crews (max I have seen is four but having four crews on station at the same time is pretty unusual) so it gets fairly quiet in the evening. If we want to sleep perhaps it's time to go next door to the Fire station man those guys sleep heaps!

JEMS can only publish what it is made of mate seriously I fell asleep on the way to a job the other week, damn, I could have ended up on JEMS.com!

*Growls at Annie I was being sargasmic, duh

I have never heard such utter, downright lies and in-thier-endo. Raise your hand if your job includes saving people from Firemedics ..... ?

Turnip that list didn't include sedated; tsk, tsk, tsk And now back to your regularly scheduled programming

Doesn't DFR suck anyway?

I bet O'Neal was pissed Dallas Fire Rescue took thier business Makes you wonder who provided a better service

Died much on the inside yet JT?

I blame the Houston Fire Department .... no wait, it couldn't be them, could it? Dude that sucks I feel for you and hope you get a new gig.

I thought you guys over in Oz could decline transport just like we can? If I get a patient with a runny nose I sure as hell ain't taking them to the hospital

Could have been stridor, sounds more like she swalloed a grape that was too large and it got temporarily stuck but she managed to swallow it. If it were me, give the kid the works (full respiratory workup, SPO2 etc) and if the parents seems amicable to the idea we could leave her be at home. I know people who have transported kids who are otherwise fine just because the parents are so worked up sooo I wouldn't overlook it.

Aren't they merging all those into one level in line with the 2010 Agenda For the Future changes? And do you know awesomeambo? :P

Oregon is the greatest state in the Union because they require an Associates Degree for Paramedic. Oregon approved schools: http://www.oregon.gov/DHS/ph/ems/certific/school.shtml#emtp CAAHEP/CoAEMSP sccredited programs are Chemeketa Community College in Salem and Oregon Health Sciences University in Sherwood. Note that I didn't include NCTI which is AMR's patch factory. Washington has some serious education programs for Paramedic, Counties who are part of the Medic One system (King/Whatcom/Pierce etc) require thousands of hours of work. Now generally, I really do like Seattle it's an awesome city and they have a really cool pointy thing. Could always get a job as a Tech at Seattle Grace; Arizona Robbins is hawt! Here is some info from another post regarding WA Now go get me In N Out, stat!

I agree with Mike

Aren't you smoking crank anymore? What happened mate, did your dealer get taken down on the latest COPS? :D

Yeah but the LP10 looked awesome in that bright red case and its big black paddles which inspired confidence not like those wimpy sticky pads. And besides I grew up in the 90s when a certian alcoholic, nymphomaniac, prostitue loving lawyer with a man girdle and LP10 as co-host made us believe we could save people every Tuesday :D

No, we have the LP12/MRx although there are one or two Lifepak 10's around still on spare vehicles and as backup. Oh how I love the LP10

A basic EMT in Los Angeles? .... man it like everybody in LA seems to have a script and an EMT card in thier back pocket

Bloody hell this is a bit extremee, but look at who is behind it and I am not suprised. I mean in like our first year of high school here during "health and sexuality" we got taught how to spank off, best class I ever took can still get an A a decade later!

ROTFPMSL thats good But we both know its a lie, the firefighters were inside watching telly and playing scrabble, the Engineer was outside working on the truck

Hey man good luck

What a nice story Mm lookey here, the minimum age to join the Canadian Forces is 17 ....
