Richard B the EMT Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 Changed to the American language, at least as spoken in Brooklyn... Kiwi to English Translator Ambo = Person who works in the ambulance = the ambulance itself AOS = Armed Offenders Squad (SWAT) = American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons Copper(s) = a Police Officer / the Police = the "Heat", the "fuzz", "Five-Oh", and some unprintable other names Fireys = Fire Service = "Bucket Faries", "Rubber" ICP = Intensive Care Paramedic; top clinical qualification =Inter Cranial Pressure Muppet = silly person = Kermit, Miss Piggy, or the children that might watch them Registrar / reg = specialist physician trainee / resident = The person in the ER the ambulance crew turns over the completed paperwork to, for records in the hospital,m just before returning to available status Technician = lowest clinical level of an AO (almost exclusively volunteers) = The medical care providers that are the backbone of the EMS industry, from unpaid volunteers to municipal services. You have to be one of them before you advance to "Intermediary" or Paramedic, as you sometimes have to do that type work before you can do the advanced stuff.
ERDoc Posted May 5, 2012 Author Posted May 5, 2012 you know Emergentologist I need a script for large amounts of benzos its easer to get wasted on valiums than face reality either that or beat me over the head with DSM There's websites to get that stuff and it's a lot cheaper. They can get you your viagra too.
Kiwiology Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 There's websites to get that stuff and it's a lot cheaper. They can get you your viagra too. I don't need Viagra I need some valiums to get wasted on so I do not have to face reality Also Richard the American Academy of Orthopaedic (sic) Surgeons is AAOS and they lend their name to the most awful textbooks for ambos out there
Richard B the EMT Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 OK, poetic licence leaving off one "A". I became an EMT using both the AAOS "Orange" and Murray"Yell;ow" books, first editions.
Kiwiology Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 I became an EMT using both the AAOS "Orange" and Murray "Yellow" books, first editions. I was waiting for something like that; man I'd love to get a read of those Unfortunately the AAOS books are not held in very high regard
Chief1C Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 I just sold a '71 EMT Text - The Orange Book - on eBay for $39.99... That was the highest priced book since I sold "The Paramedics" for over $700. Granted, I paid about $575 for it to begin with.. Jim Page autographed it.. Needed the cash.

Richard B the EMT Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 Unfortunately the AAOS books are not held in very high regard Really? As I recall, from Midwinter to Spring, 1974, when using the two "First Edition" texts, the AAOS "Orange Book" (Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured) was written as a fairly dry college textbook, and the Murray "Yellow Book" (Emergency Care) was more of an illustrated comic book. We must agree to disagree on this particular topic.
ERDoc Posted May 5, 2012 Author Posted May 5, 2012 I used the 5th edition Brady book for my first responder (CFR for you Rich) and EMT classes. Any ever use the Henry and Stapleton books in the late 90s, early 2000s?
