And a lot of the others suck :(. Ofificially signed a contract for ROTC, and I'm in the ambulance core at my college. I haven't been on a lot due to socializing, and training. I hope you're all doing awesome, and that everything is great. I fully intend to read through this thread tonight.

x2, I'm curious. When I used to volly I never had the MD come on scene, even when we had some seriously nasty stuff go down (5 year old with four GSW, MVA headon at 80mph each car, or a flipped car that had been going around 120 from what the leo's told us).

When I was put in the back as a pedestrian hit it was the exact opposite. C-collar, stretcher, and away we went. Didn't even immobilize my injury. But that's hysterical.

Alligator clamps and a sawzall. Or fulcrum and break it. I've seen a 3" exhaust pipe cut away from a person, while keeping it in them.

I am Katniss!

It's also the environment you grow up in. Most of my friends are huge partiers, a few are serious druggies (I don't approve, but if they want to ruin their lives, they can). I'm friends with very few people who don't have one vice or another (alcohol, fighting, tattoos, etc), and a lot of them...

Fair point, I'll quit it.

Oh wow. My facts are off. My point was originally meant as rathering being hit then shot, but in-fact you're correct. I don't engage with anyone involved in a domestic, it was meant as a.. I guess difference?

I do competative MMA, so a bunch of my friends enjoy going at it with me. I still have no idea what enticed him to pick up the bottle, but its a moot point. Also, my actions off-duty, in a friends house, with no patients around certainly doesnt (and shouldn't) reflect on my professionalism with...

150+ and i start getting wonky as hell on that stuff. In better news, i was fighting my friend and he picked up a glass bottle, and subsequently I punched right through it. :censored::censored::censored::censored: man. My hand is still bleeding :[

That's all well and good, but what about the ones who are shot? Lets assume, for a second, that 1% of all EMS-work-related deaths/year are from shootings. Do you REALLY want to take the chance of being in that 1%, especially when you're off-duty and could go do better things? Patient 1 is...

First time I took vitals on someone in a rig they died in the middle of it. "She's got a systolic but I couldn't get a diastolic. Then I re-took it and the systolic disappeared. John, what happened?" "Uh... she's dead bud." "Oh."

You seem a little more agitated then usual. Just remember that everyone is trying their best, help them fix their mistakes, so they don't do it again.

Maybe i should've cleaned up. Having my ointment out... well thats just weird!:rofl:

My movie came in the mail today from EMTLife. I'm stoked haha, my dad had a photo of him and raquel welch that he carried around for 12 years in his helmet. Anyway, I cant wait to watch it.
