Anyone on here from the Tempe, AZ area? I have to go there in November for an FP-C review course, and decided to drag the clan along for the trip.

Is there anything (that time of year) for the family to do while I get to sit in class? Also, any good eateries? I'm a bit of a foodie.


That would be me. Hit me up for info. I would love to help and I would love to meet you and your family. November is the perfect time to get out and about. Where are you taking the courses?

Right on, thanks. I believe they're being held somewhere on ASU's campus this time around.

Need to bring a small sacrifice in hopes that tomorrow doesn't turn into another 12+ day. On the bright side, PRK next week means I can possibly look like a pirate for the ped calls.

Week 1 is done, only 31 more weeks to go! Sadly we already lost one recruit today, die to an admin issue of all things (apparently he never transferred his out of state drivers license to a HI one which was required to have on Day 1, Day 3 was all the City Personnel admin in-processing and today was the final grace period deadline to have all required paperwork done and he didn't have the required license...)

Well hopefully finances work out for me this time. Scholarship application into AMR HR for Crafton Hills Paramedic. I start the Crafton A&P course monday. I've always had things happen and costs come up with all the other programs and this is the farthest I've gotten into the process. We'll see how it goes.

I was surprised to see that Charlottesville, a city of about 50,000 people, is primarily served by a volunteer EMS agency (they have some supplemental ALS staffing from the career FD).

Pro Tip: Don't have heartburn during afternoon circuit workout, especially when it involves running up and down the 7 story Tower multiple times

But otherwise Day 6 is in the bag, only 146 more to go!

Just explained to the wifey how EMS works in different parts of the country. She was amazed that they weren't all county/municipal ran, or that they all didn't have stations to base out of. Had to explain to them that some hold down corners of parking lots, parks, etc.

"I just want to bring them food, gift cards, and puppies."

It fortunately isn't horrible if you stay steady. That being said, I will be here the next few days should she feel the need to being puppies....

Dunno where to ask this. I'm in the first stages of an AEMT class and we are going through Acid-Base balance (airway management). The book is talking about hyperkalemia and hypercalcemia, which I see the Ps discussing quite often here. They are also part of the H's and T's. My question is how do you know, how do you measure that with any certainty? Am I getting ahead of myself? Thanks.
