I am a EMT student (as some of you may know). I am thinking of making a new coversheet for my binder, with some great quotes that are EMTish...I have one from MC Escher about loving chaos..anyone have any? Or heard of any?
 
A cover sheet for what?

EMTish quotes? I like Aidey's sig. "Dead is dead it's pretty clear cut...Yea until we show up with drugs and jumper cables and argue about it" or something of the sorts.

"Blood goes round and round, air goes in and out, anything that changes this is bad"

"Don't be a toolbag" <- a quote we tell all the FNGs :rofl:
 
From our very own Firetender

"The more moments you learn to fill with action, the less moments you have to poop your pants"
 
I would suggest spending a few hours (okay, maybe days) reading the 100% Directionless thread. Not so much for the posts, but the signatures our members add to their profile.

I also cranked up the Wayback Machine and found this thread: http://emtlife.com/showthread.php?t=89
 
My favs.

Never do anything you don't want to explain to the paramedics.

Run with sissors support your local ems.

Emt trained to save medics a** es

Stupidity pays my bills

Last but

Yes I can hogtie in 15 seconds or less and yes i am big enough to do it....
 
One thats kinda common, but still a favorite, "All bleeding eventually stops"
 
Maybe not so EMS, but I love the quote
Two rules in life:
Don't sweat the petty stuff.
Don't pet the sweaty stuff.

Not sure who said it first though.

"Never kill a patient the same way twice!" by an ER attending who was passing on a pearl of wisdom from her residency



and paraphrased from M*A*S*H

"Rule number 1 patients die... Rule number 2, Medics can't always change rule number 1"



From a wise FTO

"Never run on scene, unless you see me running then follow as fast as you can!"
 
New EMT: "what do you use to carry your trauma shears?"

Me: "an EMT"

;)
 
We the willing led by the unknowing are doing the impossible for the ungrateful, you have done so much for so long with so little that you are now qualified to do anything with nothing.
 
Jacked from a member here:

Psych patients are just Benzo-deficient
 
While many of these are funny and clever, I am looking for more inspirational quotes, I suppose.

Only you know what is inspirational to you, so we may not be able to give you the answer you want.

Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Or a vegetable...
 
Not necessarily EMS, but this one's stuck with me.

"Evil shall triumph when good men do nothing."

Paraphrasing, but its Edmund Spenser, if I remember.
 
Yeah, yeah. Double reply, but I just thought of another one that's stuck with me.

"What would you achieve if you knew it was impossible to fail?"

And, as an added bonus:

"Be the change you wish to see in the world."
-Ghandi
 
Now that, thanks to ffemt (couldn't imagine how much time he spent starting out that thread from 2004; when he started at this mess he must've really had nothing to do!) and everyone else, you have about umpteen million ideas.

We're looking forward to hearing the inspirational quote that u come up with!
