You should be able to buy a medi-alert necklace that has a little stainless steel vial with a screw on lid. That should give you enough room to write your meds and your AMI on it, roll it up and slip it in the vial. Also means that you can update it when it your meds change.

Whats her chest uscultation like matey? Also, percussion test would be nice. Where was she positioned in the vehicle for the MVA? Keep going to the trauma center and another set of Obs in 5min

Pig shit More pig shit, but at least my mandarin tress will do well next spring. It amazes me how people like yourself take an increase in standards as a direct attack on your manhood. In have not seen one person here tell you that you are useless, what i have seen are people advocating a new standard for future entrants to the industry. You say these good people attack you because you did not go to college? You say that you can do it just as well if not better? You feel that this dastardly idea is somehow a backwards step? Heres a thought mate, in many parts of the world this is becoming the new standard, and yet you continue accept the shitty status quo because its within your comfort zone and "thats how its always been done". Fess up, the real reason you oppose this is because if you now had to do it all again in the fashion that these people propose you couldn't be bothered to put in the effort Drink a cup of concrete and harden the hell up.

Yes, with rolled up galls catalogues?

Cripes! Rolling with the punches doesn't mean get the crap flogged out of you? You run into some Fire Based EMTB's in a dark alley mate? :shock: Get well soon bro

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Sure thing, take the formal education out of you doctors, nurses, lawyer and im sure you will still call them professionals right? Heres a thought maybe if it were actually difficult to get intot the vocation, you would attract less dickheads. No dickheads, less dickheadery, right?

cant really see then benefit myself, could crap on about pathophys and all but thats already been covered. Beta agonist may treat the wheeze but it wont treat the cause, i would fill them with nitrates and PEEP em before i considered salbutamol.

holy shit, i cant believe there is another one of these self idealistic BS topics running in here? wait wait... i didn't read em, but i can guarantee what the arguments for non-PAID, and it is something along the lines of vollies caring more because they do it for free or they do it to serve the community and how selfless they are yaddah yaddah yaddah... Is that close? Heres a flash, nobody does anything unless they get something out of it for themselves. If its about helping the community or giving back, serve soup up in a homeless shelter and keep your first aid certificate off the ambulance, save your neighbour, be a professional, not a professional amateur

Good evening ladies and bruces! Yeah yeah, i said i would be back soon in january and here we are, 6 months on and i have reared my ugly mug again to prove i am not dead and very much alive and well. I have no idea what your all talking about at the moment as there were over 19 thousand posts since i have been on hiatus, but ill catch up. Now, if you will excuse me, i have to clean the lake and eat some gravel before i go to work cheers

OH god, not this shiite again............

in regards to sprinters, they are being used around the world very effectively, so long as the interior is designed with a bit of common sense. Kiwi, it looks like you guys are getting a bit short changed with that setup. And nifty, they are more than capable of holding all the gear you need for emergency response, but again it means that they have to be designed appropriately

I am acquiring a healthy collection of magazines from other sources

I wont profess to have re-discovered or come up with the idea, i saw it as a vague reference in a 1988 JEMS article, so we thought we would see if we could get it to work for us. We didn't have to "create" it, but had to get "creative" to make it work, some people looked at us like we had two heads though :shock:

;)/ :D/ :lol:/ :lol:/ :D/ :D/ :D/ :D/

Nope Mission statement

Only women would be silly enough drag some fat bastard all over the world in one night, the smart guys are at home with their feet up and a beer in one hand (or hoof) 8)

Oooh just had a thought. Never done it in anger but me and a mate played around using a scoope stretcher to traction bi-lat femur fractures

Dont bother posting your entries people, i have this contest pwned This wont be an ambulance, this will be something that belongs in battlestar galactica 8)

Deep.......

:shock: Im not sure there is tactical anything here. The most tactical i will ever get is slipping into bed at 2am without waking the missus, otherwise, i will be in a hostile enviroment

:shock: Crikey.... thank goodness for common sense

Yeah i gave that a thought and came back to alter my post but you beat me

very interesting. Total n00b observation here, but is a low SPO2 reading "normal" in C0 poisoning? I thought it would give a false reading? Thanks for writing this up, and welcome to the city 8)

Ditto. i had a copy of the EMT-I book and it was ok. I replaced it with a Mosby's paramedic book because it was available. But when i saw the latest Brady book, i realised i wasted my money
