  1. WHY ARE WE YELLING?
  2. Don't carry it, never have.
  3. If you don't have anything to contribute I suggest you find a new forum to post on. Posts like that contribute nothing to the discussion and only create problems
  4. Further to that, if you are unable to remove the obstruction with direct visualization you should consider actually pushing the foreign bolus FURTHER down with the ETT in hopes of forcing it into a mainstem.
  5. Same offer as Jake, I'll have my car there.
  6. This image is the best one I could find. My ex partner there is showing what we commonly wore in the extreme northern Ontario service I used to work for. And that was nearing Christmas time so it was bloody cold. A sweater with a wind breaker is all you need for 95% of your calls.
  7. XL Unfortunately as I have yet to regain employment I won't be able to get service specific gear Also, could everyone post their hotel that they are staying at? I want to try to stay with the group... makes things easier.
  8. I have my theory that jban is trolling in their own way. The posts are just enough to incite a response out of people.
  9. Windsor-Essex is using the ITD (or a sham) as part of the ROC study.
  10. So crotchity, what I got from your post is that you need to be able to show up other providers in order to enjoy your work?
  11. I'll play devil's advocate.... Why does all that matter to the individual doing the work that he is the only medic in the region? Doesn't that mean that he has a better chance of getting a high volume of high acuity calls (which is what many want)?
  12. Did you by chance mean to post that in the blog there on your profile and accidently made a new thread instead?
  13. Just curious... you're aware of the low, low, low, low pay that they have there right? What level are you and what province?
  14. I think the idea of flutter with fib as well is probably the best option with the given strip. I think the moral of the story is that this isn't the best example of a-fib to put in an "introduction to rhythm interpretation" booklet.
  15. As discussed, as restitution you owe me a Pepsi if we ever meet
  16. But the definition of a-fib is irreg irreg with absent p waves isn't it? This is absent p waves with reg irreg
  17. Happy birthday! me too
  18. This is all I have. It is part of a package that my gf (in Primary Care Paramedic school) got for ECG interpretation teaching. They are calling it A-Fib.... I disagree. There is no 12-lead, no other leads, no history. What you see is what is given. I don't call it A-Fib. Every block of 4 beats the first 3 have identical R-R to each other then the fourth is delayed, perhaps an escape beat. I don't know what to call it but it isn't A-Fib
  19. http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r298/akroeze/ECG.jpg Not sure if I'm looking too much into it or not but there seems to be more to this than first meets the eye. Measure out the R-R intervals for the groups.
  20. I'm sorry... did you just call me bad?
  21. I am by no means an expert but the rotor wing aircraft here in Ontario do no scene calls at night. As in none. The risks are too great. They will only land at designated spots (eg helipads).
  22. Google Intubating LMA.... they're pretty cool.
  23. How many nursing home shifts did you do so you understood why it is that you are greeted the way you are when you go to one?
  24. I don't have the studies in front of me but there was a study done that showed that the needles we use are often not long enough
