Well, law enforcement has a reputation of escalating a situation for anyone who doesn't comply with their orders... how many fire apparatus operators have been cuffed by state troopers for failing to move their engine at a crash scene? While LE does have a job to do, they often forget that so...

A stressful situation for all involved… ICE officer likely owes the EMS crew an apology, because I doubt their actions were intentional https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2025/10/federal-officers-delayed-threatened-to-shoot-and-arrest-ambulance-crew-at-portland-ice-facility-report-says.html

fist thing? good job officer... are they great compressions? probably not.. it's hands only CPR, and likely ineffective... but better than nothing, esp since her primary role isn't as a medical provider... should she retake CPR class? sure... but I won't fault someone who does something...

That's actually been one of my concerns... how much brainpower are we offloading to AI, and what happens when the AI fails? or hallucinates? How much blind faith would medical providers put into AI, and how many old school providers would refuse to use AI? Would any one trust a surgeon who...

My job only allows copilot... so I've played around with others at home, but for powershell, i have to stick with the M$ option... after seeing some of the AI notes from my meetings, I don't know if I would want to do that, especially if a human doesn't reread and correct any errors. how many...

As AI is slowly taking over the world, companies are investing in projects with AI components (often at the expense of others), and I have spent the last 2 hours using Microsoft Copilot to enhance my file management powershell scripts, I was curious if anyone had any ideas for how EMS providers...

Officially received my accreditation as both an CISM and CRISC instructor!

ok, back to the topic at hand... What was actually said? The comment is stupid. It's inappropriate. It shouldn't have been said. I'm curious what the discussion involved beforehand this clip, as it seems like there was a lot more to this story, and is missing a lot of context. It's a very...

I heard the talk... it was much needed, as it is designed to refocus the military, and bring it back to peak performance, not the joke it has become over the past 4 years... I love how you paraphrase what he said, which implies he said "feel free to get more handsy with recruits with no fear of...

Now you're getting political, but I'll bite... Where did he ever say that about the military? I must have missed it where he said women shouldn't vote... sounds like your making an assumption based on no evidence, or you are making a baseless smear, one that has been clearly corrected by the...

that's fair... personally, I would take a handful out, put them in a ziplock bag, and keep the box at home. no need to take the whole box with you.... and if you go though more than 20 pairs of gloves in a day, than you are doing something wrong. but you do whatever you feel is best for your...

Paramedic vs advance practice paramedic... most RNs can't intubate, but an MICN (nurse on an ambulance) can. Those extra hours do make the difference between what you can do and what you can't. Kind of like how some cops are authorized to perform a PITT maneuver on a high speed chase, while...

Ehhh, i don't think that's exactly why he's doing it... Ehhhh, I can count on both hands how many times I have stopped at wrecks... usually it's 1) I am the first person there, so I call 911 first to get the AHJ coming and 2) it's more than just a fender bender. But I don't think that's what...
