Might want to throw in that the position is for FF/EMT and FF/Medic, not just EMS.

So someone who is bold enough to propose that people should lose their jobs and not be allowed to reproduce because they possibly cannot remember something, obviously has not ever forgotten anything in their lifetime and must be a god. Okay, let's fire all those guys then. Let's fire...

What if you forgot, what if there's no more leftovers in the fridge, what if your wife didn't make you anything last night, what if you forgot to go to the store and buy groceries for the fridge? Is our economy in such a poor state that our strategy to save money is to stop the fire...

Good luck with your class, let us know how it goes and if you have any questions feel free to ask away here.

Oral glucose, Nitro, ASA, Combi-Tube intubation... Not everyone has 'aggressive' protocols.

From a BLS perspective, the LP12 didn't seem like it was all up to par compared to the Zoll. It didn't have diagnostic readouts, only a strip for the 12 lead, and the early editions did not have automatic BP. Granted you need to do manual BP's, and shouldn't rely on the machine's diagnosis but...

I believe you can take classes while on active duty in the Navy, so even though you're on a ship, you can still be advancing towards your degree. I believe Corpsman get their National Registry as a basic during their training, so if you decide to enlist, you may not even need to get your EMT...

What I, and the person I quoted before are trying to say that we are against the people who go to doctor's offices, and falsely claim they feel a certain way just so they can get their "feel good meds". Compare it to those who abuse your local EMS system. A guy calls 911, says he's hurting...

Her taking perfectly legal prescription drugs is not the problem. It's when she becomes dependent and starts to abuse the medication. So she takes her anti-depression meds every day and then runs out. She's unable to get another prescription and then she commits suicide or god forbid harms...

Nearly all hospitals around here become furious if you bring in a traumatic code that arrested on-scene. What a horrible way to die... He also shares my birthdate too, kinda freaky.

Ay Tach, that's a new one!

lmao...

Mark my words One day, equipment such as that will be required by NFPA. Whenever it reaches widespread use.

My question is, when she was triaged, was she listed under "walking wounded"? Because she can't walk and she's definitely not delayed... So would you, rip the green tab in half or...
