Uniontown is actually my neighborhood. Thank you! :D Though I notice they dont have a link of pre-reqs for medic. I guess I can try to call someone tomorrow. I appreciate the help.

Can anyone speak for EMS on the western (particularly south-west, pittsburgh and south of the pitts area) area of PA? Also does anyone know the requirements for medic school in PA? I tried doing a search, tried searching the google and can not find what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance.

You could make the cake the prank. Morbid but you could do a red velvet cake. Make it like someones head or something.

That is absolutely amazing! When I was a regular platelet donor for the ASBP they were always short on platelet donors and the program was taking it hard having to split them between Astan, Iraq and the cancer pt's in the states. I wonder if they will incorporate these into use for cancer patients?

Not every basic in the US did it because it was cool, easy or wanted something to brag about. Some did it as a stepping stone onto something else, RN, Medic... and/or because they genuinely wanted to help people, and sometimes its humbling to remember that we all have to start somewhere.

Suicide isn't so cut and dry. It's important to remember that. It's good to see the other FD's helping this department out while they mourn.

+2, Just what I was going to say.

You guys are real freaking peaches. Why bother posting at all? Have you nothing better to do with your time?

+1. Should we blame addicts for their deaths? How about MI's for theirs? What about diabetics for being on dialysis? When did pt advocacy turn into pt blame?

Dont take it personal. I liked it.

IS it still blonde? o.O

My tattoo happens to be a very large and personal piece that extends from my hip to my upper ribs. My shirt was riding up because my son was pulling on it while I was trying to grab his cherrios off the shelf. I dont mind people commenting on my tattoos. It's when they violate my personal space...

I'm not the swimmer. :lol:

Yes, we were told we could use the glucometer as a way to confirm. We were also told it would wick away from blood on gauze.

So is the "myth" that male swimmers shave their entire bodies to be faster in the water true?
