No that's your job, remember?

There are lot's of things an EMT-B can do for a patient with no medical supplies. Some of you just get on here just to pick fights and look down your nose at people who are of a different skill set. I asked for simple comments regarding the situation as a whole not to nit pick and the fact I...

LMFAO! I couldn't have done anything to help huh? Do you just stand around all day and collect a pay check? The "cool stuff" as you mentioned involves how to save someone's life and offer care at an EMT-B level. If your just in it to save your own *** why would you be in the field to help others?

I'm just baffled by that, I have no problem risking the unknown to help someone in need. I assumed that's the whole point of being in the EMS field, wither your on or off the clock anything could happen in any type of situation, your gonna let someone possibly die on the side of the road when...

If the fact that I even stopped was the only thing that was going to be discussed I would have never even asked, I was referring to what I did for the people involved in the MVA, I made the choice to stop and I stand by that choice. I have two BIG EMS stickers on my back window, how would that...

My point as well, thank you.

"I must cross the line often then, i will hold hands, sometimes without being asked. Ive also been known to run a hand through a patients hair. Touch shows them you care, caring makes them feel better. Your partner needs to gtfo of ems." __________________ Your words, not mine.

I hear you Rob, it was 395 N 1/2 mile south of the airport exit, just to give you an idea. I felt it was safe enough and I didn't have Natalya in the car so I stopped.

:huh: I'll take the risk of a lawsuit to save someone's life, if my best "tool" is a cell phone then why the hell did I become an EMT???? O no wait, I'm only allowed to help someone who may be hurt while on the clock?? WTF?

Thank you Rob! You beat me to it. lol

Is that really a pet peeve of yours? Why are you in the EMS field if that's honestly something that bothers you?

LMFAO!!! That's awesome! :rofl:

Hey Guys, So after my second attempt at the NREMT I can now say I am officially an EMT-B. The other day I was on the freeway heading home and I come up on traffic, it was pretty much all stopped. I look ahead and noticed traffic was clear so I knew there had to be something going on in...

Always remember you ABC's! Go over your skills sheets if you have gotten them already. Know what order you going in down the list, depending on your book, there is a CD in the back that may help you along with your skills tests. Some people hate them and some love them. Read the ch, pay...

You don't have to be rude about it, jeez.

"We convince ourselves that we are superior medics because we can work a resuscitation in our sleep, or we can fall down a flight of stairs and accidentally intubate five people on the way down." EMT/PARAMEDIC ON FB

Haha, if we could be arrested for our thoughts we would ALL be doing life sentences!

Wow, looks like I'm the only one that failed this NREMT.

Call the testing center, If you took the test then your school did everthing they needed to do. BTW: Did you pay your 70 bucks already? Anything marked in Red means it had not been done yet and it has to be done before you get that letter.
