Thanks a lot for all the advice, I really appreciate it. I'll keep you all posted as to my progress as the months carry on.

Male, 22 y/o, 200 lbs, 5'11 ft, Mostly want to lose a crap load of fat fast but have been getting quite a bit of conflicting information. some say only cardio 20 intense minutes a day, obviously no crap food, 6 meals a day. Others tell me eat healthy but as much as possible and lots of weight...

Long story short. My city has a contest for a firefighter calendar in which we pose sort of like a woman oriented sports illustrated swimsuit edition. I am currently 205 lb's at 5'11, Slightly overweight, as I am not quite chubby, but certainly close. I am wondering 2 things. Is it possible to...

haha thats really funny. Thank you for that. :lol:

I've always seen those red things on power lines but never knew why they were there.. Thank you oh so much

What about putting the pt. on a NRB and not turning the oxygen tank on? I am obviously talking about hyperventilation and although I have very little experience in the field as of yet many of my instructors taught this as a good way to deal with the decreased CO2 levels. Also I don't mean...

My current situation is: hired as a casual Tech-P in Manitoba. It's been about 1 month since I've been hired and yet I am still waiting for my first shift, even though they claim that its so hard to fill shifts. No biggie, Its nothing I can't handle with a good book. My question comes in when...

Wow. People just don't think anymore...

I greatly appreciate the timely responses. Thank you very much.

What is the reason we do 15:2 ratio of compressions to ventilations for 2 rescuer CPR for children and infants? I was asked this question today by one of my students and the best thing I could think of was that children are smaller, hence it takes much less to restore a good BP, although I...

Far to close to home. Sick world indeed. I actually did my clinicals out of portage.

Bleach fan eh? I will post my tat soon enough. I just couldn't help but post after such blatant Kuchiki reference ;)

Loud and clear. :)

Yep that answers my question. I don't understand what is meant by public perception though, are we afraid of being mistaken for police officers?

Excellent! I just applied for a Fire Medic position hence I find this article very interesting. You wouldn't happen to know if there has been any talk of paramedics getting protection vests also? I think that may also be a good idea considering the rising number of shootings in Winnipeg in the...

This is an entertaining thread. I highly doubt that any form of trained EMT would ever refer to a heart rhythm as "V-Techy" as well as not taking c-spine precautions on someone who hit their head after a fall.

During my clinical, I had 2 calls happen right in front of the station where I was being precepted. The first was a pretty nasty leg trauma in which a construction worker was backed over by a co-worker driving a 3000 Lb bobcat forklift. He had an open ankle fracture and an obviously fractured...

lol A thing of beauty. mycrofft, that is very detailed. It also reminds me of a question. How often does one see flash with a IM? I don't think it would be that common but I am still so new to all this.

I know there are many ways. I am interested in finding out what method works best for you guys.

I am currently working on a presentation about febrile seizures. I have already found many great sources and recorded much information. The downside is that I am having difficulty locating many good sources that pertain to a prehospital care perspective. Which leads me to my questions: 1) How...
