    1 Month into EMTB training...

    past experiences in classes? Even after getting a college degree, I've taken a lot of classes (mostly computer related) My entire life, it seems I've had either classes that I find very easy, or very hard. Sometimes, I search for motivation to finish an easy course- to really excel and master...

    Acadian Ambulance Service testing fuel-efficient vehicles

    Hybrid SUVs I've seen ads for new hybrid SUVs and tried googling it and found a whole HYBRIDSUV.com website! :blink: I wouldn't mind the hybrid Escalade B) Actually I hear a problem with those things is that they're too quiet!!!

    Firefighter accused of damaging fire truck after Phils win

    Demon Alcohol I can appreciate the effort to give the ff benefit of a doubt, but... when alcohol is involved, the levels of stupidity that can be reached is infinite!!! I speak from experience here. ;) :blush: If you want further explanation, sometimes in moments of ecstasy a person wants...

    The rules changed

    Duty to Act Vermont Statute 12-23-519, states that a person has a duty to render reasonable assistance if they have knowledge of another person in physical danger or that is injured. There is an exemption that states that a person does not have to render any type of assistance that would place...

    The rules changed

    Damned if you do... MASSACHUSETTS has a duty-to-rescue statute, as does Vermont, Minnesota, and Rhode Island and four other states. I think the last episode of Seinfield revolved around the crew getting jailed for neglecting to help someone, and its based on a real law. You are open to...

    The rules changed

    Maybe get a new lucrative career at a law firm? Anyone who tried to help could get sued. This isn't a problem specific to emergency responders. Chances of being successfully sued for helping are probably low, but sometimes strange things happen in court. But don't blame your training! If...

    What is your most ridiculous call?

    From the other side (in the U.S. at least) I probably shouldn't post this, partly because I'm just a student, not EMT yet, and partly because its from when I was the patient, but... I drove myself to the hospital one evening for an emergency ------ (under the circumstances, I keeping this...

    Switch States with a WEMT?

    No Recognition at all? I don't think ANY state recognizes Wilderness training (beyond the standard EMT-B that may be offered with it). It was not part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) legislation, or any nat'l legislation at all. Maybe there will be a change in...
