Well I see all sides brought up here but the thing of it is the pt was pronounced dead on scene. Crew that was sposed to stay behind and clean up stood around shootin the :censored::censored::censored::censored: with the LEO and not doin nothin. If they got time for a smoke then they got time to...

Ok, not a clean freak here, but need to vent about the poor hygiene of my coworkers. Besides them looking unkempt and excuse the term trashy, our rigs and quarters look like crap. Plus they left a mess of code trash in the house last night after the first rig (mine) left the scene. They were...

We had a bit of a soap opera at work the other day. Medic tested pos for marijuana. Claims he had a prescription for medicinal purposes. Supervisor said no way and suspended him from running calls indefinitely. Review board has to make a decision. In the meantime he flipped out and threw a...

I am looking for jobs for basics around the Philadelphia area. Have a few leads but would like to know from someone that's in the area. I'd like to get a good idea of what i will have for work when I move up there in May. Thanks yall!

10-50 is a motor vehicle collision. 10-50 PI is persons injured, 10-50 PD is property damage. We share a freq with the county sheriff so we have to use codes that keep both agencies informed and on the same page. We're a real rural agency so we don't deal alot with urban emergencies and rarely...

We are being taught ot use ten codes and the agencies around here use specialized ems codes for the type of call. And there were beer cans all around the scene and the smell was god awful. When he woke up in the rig en route to the ED he was slurring speech excessively, uncoordinated, and blew...

So we're in class last night when the tones drop and LAS (the agency I'm taking my class thru) gets paged out for a motorcycle 10-50 2 miles west of town. This is only the 4th night of class so none of us were expecting to get to do anything. Right now we're working on checking vitals and pt...

I bought mine used. I'm planning on keeping mine so i can go back and review in the future. Mine didn't have the cd but it does have a couple quizzes in the back to go with the chapters.

Got my textbook today. Mosby's EMT-B textbook. Already been reading some fo it. Do have a couple questions though. Some other publishers include cd roms for the pc, study guides, workbooks, etc. Does anyone know if Mosby's has anything like that?

Well the only thing I'm gettin at here is that I don't try to push what I believe on somebody else. Either you believe it or you don't, and if you don't that's fine by me. So I am keeping this post to a minimum and if you'd like to discuss anything I say here feel free to PM me. Basically what...

They asked me to go with them today on a ride-along. IFT from the local hosp to Terre Haute. So happy because I will be getting more ride time.

I downloaded the state's study guides and flashcards. Have been taking the online quizzes with about a 60% on them. Don't think I have anything to worry about really.

I am leaning more towards national right now. The only thing that threw up a red flag with me was recertifying every 2 years instead of 4 and the traveling I'd have to do to take the classes and the test but I think it'd be worth it in the long run. Thanks again for pointing me in the right...

So I was thinking the other day about where I wanted to go work when I got my EMT. I was thinking about maybe Terre Haute or Indianapolis are because I always like it over there and I have alot of family there. Also, who is best to work for? A private service, a hospital owned service, or a...

I have a quick question for administration. Are we, in any way shape or form, allowed to discuss religion in the forums? I would like to share my views and beliefs but don't want to offend anyone.
