55 started 49 graduated in the whole total.

If it's a ton of medications load them up in a box and take them. It's a couple, just write them down and head out. You will put that you handled medications under valuables on your report.

I don't know how delete my comment

I think we started with 25 and are down to 20. We have a couple of really good instructors and our lab assistants are awesome. Final exam tomorrow!

Haven't most flight for life helicopter pilots done combat in the military? I know most of the ones in Colorado has.

Thank you for correcting me! That's what I meant. Long day of Practical Exams :P

You can't determine if a person is dead by trying to get a Carotid pulse. V-Fib does sometimes have no pulse, which = shock from an AED. Seriously though, give the patient your 100% even if they say they might have an DNR. If they don't have it in their hand, it doesn't exist until you see...

True, I wasn't thinking about that. I played with a goalie today who has a pacemaker, so it was interesting to talk to him about that.

Another question about this topic. Would you cut his chest protector and jersey off?

EMS is a forgiving field? I wouldn't think so. If you make a mistake, it could cost a person their life. It's not like an software program where you can press "undo".

Okay, okay, haha. I realized that I didn't explained this fully through. There are ice rinks with different temperature heating above the ice. This rink it's extremely hot for being a rink. It's still playable to be on the ice after the Zamboni has been on the ice. Also, they tend to dump a lot...

Depends on the rink. This rink had a pretty unusual high temperature in it. So the water freezes slowly. Takes about 5-15 minutes for it to freeze completely. C-spine was not an issue. The player just fell for "no reason" and collapsed on the ice. Remained unresponsive.

Here's the Scenario: Hockey player collapses on the ice. He's 55, no history of any cardiac problems. Teammate begins CPR while another teammate gets the AED. When they are about to attach the AED, they notice that the hockey player is laying in a small pool of water. Remember, this rink...

My buddy just got this bike: 2008 R1 I'm going to go get a bike this week. I'm thinking either an Ducati 848, R6 or an R1

Okay, thanks for your input. I wouldn't want that to happen. I don't spend too much time in places like Fire Stations. We usually post up and then have a call within 15-30 minutes. So it's not like its a dire need for me to take the boots off.
