In reference to feeling ready to quit? For a year or two at least with my letter written and ready to hand in. My average so far over the past 3 years has been around 57 hours a week (thats not including my shifts left for this week). I've done 80-hour weeks where I'm essentially living at the station. Granted, 500 calls a year is probably a month for her, but its still "I can probably move into the station and be slightly ahead" I totally understand the outrage of pay, I think being paid double what the general EMT's are paid due to being an officer (minimum wage for basic, $7.5/ hr for AEMT), but the village workers entry-level is higher than mine. If not for state retirement and health insurance, I'd have probably left long ago. Honestly I'd love to be making her 17/hr though when I'm down around 13.

my service still carries them, as stated before... mostly movement/ extrication/ CPR needs with strict "we had to keep them on the board for X reasons" mostly altered LOC following trauma, etc. otherwise just a C/ X-collar while laying on the cot

So recently State of Wisconsin has been trying to get out a version of tracking software for mass-causality events. The company that the state went with was intermedix. Just was wondering if any other states/ services were using any intermedix software, especially the EMTrack system. Basic rundown of the software. It allows a patient to be tracked from the initial contact in the field to discharge from the hospital, and can also be used to give a hospital a "heads up" that you're headed their way with (insert chief complaint here).

Was he found wearing khaki's? D: As for this "pain detector" it may just be a BS medi-onion story, but I bet they're out there working on a real one...

any other history? specifically addictions/ diabetes/ stroke/ cardiac? medications? WITNESSED number taken? Also check pupils... per my level, check BGL, obtain twelve lead & transmit, obtain vitals, protect airway and assist ventilations as necessary, appropriate sized IV with .9NS, once IV is established, administer enough narcan to bring the respiratory drive back around (lets not bring him out just yet... no need to have a pissed off 54 year old in extreme pain thrashing around without need for it >.> )

Welcome as for your question. I hadn't gone through the new AEMT course, but i did go through Wisconsins IT to AEMT refresher/ transition. Haven't actually challanged the National though so no clue on what may or may not help. my best suggestion though would be to try and get a hold of an I-85/ IV-Tech/ Intermediate Technician course book. They would give you a great view into the next level (its about 80 pages long if memory serves). Hopefully this will help, good luck

how do you say goodbye to someone who's been a friend and a brother for a decade? This morning I woke to find out that Scott Mueller; the person who had trained me how to be an EMT and helped show me into the music industry, had died yesterday morning. What exactly do you say to news like that? All i can say is goodbye Mules. Rest easy brother
