BEorP Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Well my Dad was a volunteer, and he was talking about hooking up IV's, shooting up stabbing victims with morphine, stitching up wide open wounds, etc. Maybe it's cuz I'm from a more rural area, maybe he was telling some tales. I don't think they'd give a fancy symbol to ambulance drivers. You know who saves trauma pts? Trauma surgeons. We drive them to the hospital and do what we can on the way.

Havent seen you tonight....
Scaramedic Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 I agree with AK, Where's the camera, where's Allan Funt? Please tell me this a joke! :shock: Peace, Marty :thumbleft:
the_kid Posted May 24, 2006 Author Posted May 24, 2006 OK, this thread has to be a joke. Which one of you created a new name and is playing around? Dust are you having fun?? Havent seen you tonight.... So this is out of the ordinary? I mean I've personally ressucitated a drowning victim, I've saved a victim a a farm accident (hand ripped off by a PTO shaft) from bleeding to death by blocking the artery at the pressure point and then using a a tourniquet. So what do you guys get paid for? ISU public safety are ridiculous. I used to date a dispatcher, and have gotten drunk with my arresting officers. I blew a .92 and a .85. But yep, it's 48 oz. (my former limit at the bar) and it's 2 DUI's. I guess I'll back off. I make money farming, I just want the training.
akflightmedic Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 And it keeps getting better and better..... What do I get paid for..hmmmm, do I even answer? Nope I dont. The ridiculousness of this post is insane.
the_kid Posted May 24, 2006 Author Posted May 24, 2006 I have a pretty basic understanding of biology and first aid, and my first aid has been put to the test twice. I just want to perfect real world first aid. On those two occasions, it was quite a rush. It's also a very useful skill.
the_kid Posted May 24, 2006 Author Posted May 24, 2006 If some would explain to me why this is such a joke, I would appreciate it.
BEorP Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 If some would explain to me why this is such a joke, I would appreciate it. Because if you are serious then you the model person who should NOT be in EMS.
1aCe3 Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 "I mean, what the hell do you learn in two years of school? how to drive an ambulance fast? I learned how to strap someone to a board in a half hour." wtfffffff :shock: :shock: :shock: LOL
