I love EMERGENCY. Johnny and Roy are one of the reasons I wanted to be a paramedic. Of course, I'm older...

Hear here.

Are you a mod asking for the people here to illegally give you a code you should buy? Shame on you.

Lol no just the group discount for being in EMS. It knocks like 4 bucks off. I had it written down somewhere but I can't find it now.

Call me a paranoid old man but that whole google now thing seems a little creepy to me.

It's like having your very own telepathic artificial intelligence

I'm pretty good with techy things, even if I'm a little late to using them, but where do you go to access it/turn it on/whatever?

Search button from the home screen should bring it up.

I can't answer for all devices but on my Nexus you just swipe up from underneath the home button or open the application of labeled "Google" in the app tray

I've got the Galaxy S3 from Sprint.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what this app/function does. I thought it was predictive.

Are you pulling up something that looks like this?

It is predictive in a sense, but you have to use it for a bit and have all your stuff assimilated by google/gmail

For example if I have an event on my calendar with am address tacked on to it I'll get a notification a bit before it telling me how long my commute should be, what the weather is like in the area etc

Ah, that's probably the problem then. I don't use my gmail account for regular email.

It is predictive, but it doesn't have to be connected to your Gmail. That just helps.

"Oh you're in EMS ? That's cool. I wanted to do that when I was a kid. What do you make? WHAT DO I MAKE?? "I make holding your hand seem like the biggest thing in the world when your being cut out of a car. I can make 5 minutes seem like a lifetime when I am trying to save your family. I make those annoying sirens seem like angels when you need them. I can make your children breathe when they stop. I can help you survive a heart attack. I make myself get out of bed at 3am to risk my life to save people I've never met. Today I might make the ultimate sacrifice to save your life. I make a difference what do you make?"

:rolleyes: Reminds me of the "EMS: Not just a job; It is a calling" Campaign

Maybe it is just me but crap like that annoys me

Agreed, that stuff is pretty obnoxious.

There's some real colorful opinions of this website and EMS as a whole over at allnurses.com that I've seen recently. Stuff like that post doesn't help.
