And, with all of this being said... and taking into consideration what you stated about Trauma; if you have a question that reads "... patient with a amputated arm, profuse bleeding (although, probably highly unlikely) and a closed facture of thefemur..." with choices such as: a) Control the...

Not really sure... but, I would say under Trauma or Medical that ABC's should be followed. Your circulation (c) of blood isn't worth much if you aren't breating (b) and actively exchanging oxygen; and you can't breath or exchange oxygen if you don't have a patent airway (a). Which means...

Did the NREMT TRS not give you subject matter in-which likely casued your failure? Check your e-mail from the NREMT, as there should be a category listing with your percentile rating, thus allowing you to know what to study. Overall, don't read too much into the questions the NREMT throws at...

Life is not fair. Life is not easy. Life is not nice. Get over it. Who cares if the administrators told him to get lost? Who cares if the administrators encouraged him to overlook the others on here bashing his posts? Does it really matter? -- No, it doesn't. He is not here right now...

We are actually custom developing a solution that constantly monitors the frequency and when the PL is detected, it records a specified period of time and then sends it either as a text message with a # to call that gives recording, or calls the phone. Would be pretty neat to get a...

That's just 100% ridiculous. I know the thought-pattern-approach I have is probably a little off from what I should be thinking; but I can only imagine how the firefighter feels, or will feel about his girlfriend being shot. I know if it was me, I'd very severly pissed. People are such...

Guess I always neglected to post here. My name is Travis, and I'm been clean for almost 3 years!... okay well -- the Travis part is true (really, I'm clean!). Anyway, I'm an EMT -- got it back in 2007. I'm a software developer for an IT company and part time EMT at a local agency running...

hmm, you may be on to something there... SnickerGiggle Enterprises

Kill Him..... accidental overdose of.. adenosine? :ph34r:

I got a pair of ****ies the other day, that isn't measured in large or x-large, but rather your actualy waist, inseam, etc. Got them, and.. wearing them today.. they are almost skin tight when I sit down lol, guess all of the emt pants fit tight like this; anyone elses?

And... your grade in class is an "A", right? :P just kidding

I'm just hoping we don't have another Ice Storm in KY like we did in January of this year. Ref. - Kentucky Hit Hard by Deadly Ice Storm (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/02/02/national/main4769197.shtml) - Kentucky's Ice Storm Worse in Aftermath...
