    Funny one liners you've said to overheard to a patient

    I had funny one in class too. We were running trauma scenerios. The scenerio was that we responded to a MVA with a Semi v a sedan. Our pt was the passenger and the driver was DOA with the semi on him. As we start treating our pt, our instructor (who is acting as the voice of the pt) says, "What...

    Strangest calls?

    Responded to a local urgent care to transport a pt to the ED for a reference of abdominal pain. When we get there, the nurse advises us that the pt (a woman) would like to be referred to as a man. Pt looked like a woman, but dressed like a man and had some facial hair. Still not 100% sure what...

    What is the best way to find an EMT-B job?

    Beats me, but if you find out let me know. I know Medics was hiring a little while ago, but they don't hire til your 20 (and since I'm 19 I was SOL). Just look around, talk to people and maybe you might get lucky. Best of luck.

    First Responder to EMT-B

    I was a First Responder before I upgraded to EMT-B. My recommendation is to take the full EMT-B program. It will benefit you in the long run.

    Chest pain call turns into a code...

    It sounds like you did everying that you should have done. Unfortunately, at the end of the day we are just Paramedics and EMT's, and we don't get to decide who stays and who goes, but you did your best and that's all that you can do.

    Stupid things you did on your first few calls

    Foot in mouth This was about my second or third ride in EMT school and we had a stable pt who was talking with us. She was complaining about the bad economy, and how she lost her job, and this, that, and the other thing. So then I turned to this pt that was lying on a stretcher en route to the...

    I too am an EMT-B, I just finished school a few months ago, but still volunteer with a local Fire Dept and I agree that some Paramedics are just jerks with big (and often undeserved) egos. I was actually on a call with a medic a few weeks ago. While en route to the ER with the pt, the medic...
