Sweet Thank you! And it can't be too much heavier than my one edition Mosby's book I have. That thing is ungodly heavy

Is anything more boring that ICS classes?

Nope not really I'm glad I got 100, 200, 700, and 800 out of the way already.
Their IS-3 (Radiological) isn't too bad.

Brown feels sick and blames the breakfast burrito that was consumed earlier

Therefore, HEMS will be operating without a Doctor today

Most board meetings. :-| (Pun of course not intended)

One of the downsides of becoming an officer is that I have to take (and am now in) ICS-300. 24 flippin' hours of ICS-related "fun".

At least it's over tomorrow. And if I have to take 400 eventually, it's only 16 hours.

Besides... I'm not sorry. If the paramedic actually knew it was called DOS (Dead on scene) not DOA!!!! (Dead on arrival...... to the HOSPITAL).

DRT - Dead right there.

We usually say that "It's a pronouncement." Cuts down on the confusion a little, since everyone knows what that means hereabouts.

lonely in the chat room tonight.... stop by if you get bored

Well I found out this evening that my oil filter wrench does not fit the filter on my new rig. So I ended up driving a screwdriver through it in three different places to remove it. Of course becoming covered in motor oil that is loaded with diesel soot. I look like the creature from the black lagoon or something.

At least the air filter was easy to change.

Then while I was changing the fuel filter I somehow managed to soak myself pretty well in diesel fuel. At least it cut the motor oil somewhat.

So now I'm off to take a shower and scrub myself down with GoJo. That should feel really nice. Not.

Yep, I'm playing catch up on bills from when I was unemployed, plus gotta put cash away since I'm paying out of state tuition for my medic program and I've gotta start giving them money in January.

Brown's tummy is making very funny noises and Brown does not feel good, kinda like upchucking.

.... Brown is however unsure if this is a job suitable for the helicopter emergency medical service?

If you were here in the US, I'd say it's about as emergent as a lot of calls they get

Actually the 5 book Brady Bledsoe is more in depth than the 1 book edition. Not much but some. What year model are they using as someone might have a good clean used set for sale?

 

[TransportJockey]

I was told they use the newest edition, which from looking means the 2010 set. I've emailed Steve, the program director, to see for sure.
