    EMS Explorers

    im not totally on board with them treating patients. maybe riding third and acting as gophers, but getting hands on with the patients isnt kosher. theres a bunch of stuff you can have them do. just getting the oppurtunity to hang around the house would be enough motivation for the average kid...

    EMS Explorers

    train them on how to wash, inventory and restock and ambulance properly. this serves two goals. 1) its an integral part of ems and if you instill in them how to do it properly before they even get their tickets, it will make them more throrough emt's. 2) free labor.

    help with ams

    its good that you shave your head or are naturally bald, because that joke flew over your head so fast it would have burned every follicle you had right off.

    What does your agency ride in...

    nice to see the evil empire actually knows how to order new trucks; but i have to say that that platform is the ugliest ambulance every created and yes, im stacking it up against all of the foreign abominations.

    How do you maintain med drip rates on your truck

    yeah, right. how is starting a fight on an internet message board going to change things? in my state, it takes an average of seven years to change a protocol going through a half dozen different committees and review boards. i cant just one day walk in to my bosses office and demand four...

    How do you maintain med drip rates on your truck

    heres how i go about it: before doing any call requiring an infusion, i proceede to have at least thirteen shots of tequila. then, i blindfold myself and mix the bag by touch. after starting the iv one handed and hammered, i hook the bag up. i put the drip chamber right next to my head and...

    Is a T-shirt a PROFESSIONAL EMS Uniform ?

    if the call you're going to is going to be dependant on the 20 seconds it takes you to put on and tuck in a shirt, its unlikely that a critical care chopper with md would make much of a difference, much less an ambulance. ive worked hundreds of overnights and always stripped off my unifrom...

    Basic CPR Question

    check your cpr guidelines. no more blind sweeps. you can chase what you can see, but no more fishing. its also highly unlikely that you'll be thrown into commotio cordis/r on t through cpr. its usually caused by a very sudden, very hard impact in a tiny window of oppurtunity.

    Is a T-shirt a PROFESSIONAL EMS Uniform ?

    funny, i can. between reading name tags and white coats, its not rocket science. if he's a talented surgeon, i couldnt care less if he walked into the room in motorcycle leathers and fishnets, as long as he brings his a game into the or. ding ding ding, we have a winner!
