Paramedics sought by Del Norte Ambulance
Your opportunity to be a 9-1-1 paramedic may be in Northwest California. Del Norte Ambulance, in beautiful Del Norte County, is seeking full-time paramedics. We're looking for paramedics who are able to work with standing orders, have the ability to...
I work in northern CA and have a clause in my employment that states that as soon as the ambulance shows up or responds I turn into a fully active ALS provider. Again, the problem is that I don't carry any meds, IV supplies, etc. to do anything anyway without the ambulance being there but its...
Screw that....principle of autonomy....if they don't want to go they can call us back when they do....sign here. Meeting criteria of course (I.e. Non suicidal, AO, etc.)
Hey guys/girls. I am wanting to trade some Propper 32-34 and 34-34 pants (black) gently used for pretty much any main brand (ie., propper, 5.11, etc.) EMS pants. They just have to be navy blue because my department does NOT allow black.
Metaphysics...This might help.
First, like stated earlier, the models for paramedic and nursing are very very different. Add the stigma placed on both fields toward the other field and you have a crap throwing contest when the two fields should be working together. The nursing model, as I...
Yeah I would have called poison control. Did they say that they had thrown up immediately after ingesting the soap? That could have saved them a great deal of gastric burning due to the caustic nature of H2O2.
Oxy clean breaks down into hydrogen peroxide which the body can handle but only in small amounts...what was the end result? Did you call the ER and follow up?
I dont know about the side zipped....I had a pair and they were uber easy to take off but at 2 am when tones went off I was a monkey humping a football. They have front zip that open up wider so that when you dont know up from down its harder to miss. lol. As far as pants..propper makes a pretty...
So ischemia will show up in like....V1-V4 as opposed to just V1 and 2? If it just shows up in V1 and V2 I am looking for elevation in II, III, and aVF?
Had a call once of a dude that had 'no medical history'...youre sure? yes absolutely no history of any medical conditions...never been to the doctor? Ok....well, ok...we hook him up to an ecg and about 2 milliseconds after he says, "oh here is a card that my cardiologist gave me." It was a post...
So wait..explain the st-depression again. This was a big source for debate in my medic class. So how I was taught is that if there is depression in II, III or avf there will be elevation in one of the other set of leads and vice versa (that was how they explained reciprocal determinism). Explain...
I despise medics (any EMT) that hide behind their "experience" card and dont keep hitting the books and train 24/7. While at my clinical rotations I watched medics play endless madden and then asked me the signs and symptoms of increased ICP...I was fresh in the books so I was able to rattle...
