Another of Imi's followers here. I love Krav Maga. I have never been in such good shape, felt so healthy, or so energetic my whole life.

I think I may get this.

PS3 PSN is EMS_WARLORD. Playing a lot of MW2 right now.

We use regular strykers, and powered strykers. I love them. Prefer a regular one, don't like the extra weight of the powered one. So much better than the fernos in chicago winters.

I always wonder the same thing. I asked at work, never got a straight answer. Talk to IMMC would be your best bet. I've been too lazy to do that as well. ^_^:blush:

In my bag most of the shift ( it's a personal Littmann and I'm pretty forgetful so I never leave it on the back of the cot, lost my gloves already.), around neck for the first half of the calls, and I'll usually take it off as I walk to the drivers seat on most calls and throw it back in my bag...

Except for one hospital, we can take all the linen we need/want. IDPH has a law that we are required to have a minimum of six sheets and two blankets in every rig. We try hard to keep the numbers at 1:1, but after doing four or five IFTs without stopping at an ER, you need to grab more than...

There is the xray machine sitting in my basement.

Don't steal from hospitals man. Last thing I "stole" was an unguarded sheet lying on an already prepared bed. Only because we had run out.

Sweet uniforms.

Sasha got it right! I like helping people. It helps keep me balanced. It's fun. I enjoy being on the streets the days I work and not stuffed in some office. I like meeting new people. I like new experiences. I like learning. This job saved my life. It goes on. I love being an EMT...

hahaha, I'm not a black cloud, and the system has never been used. I just like being prepared.

Thanks. You guys would probably think I'm a bit whackerish but I carry a backpack with me at all times, and along with my laptop, books, and nicknacks I carry around with me, I carry gloves, steth, bp cuff, CPR mask, pen light and basic bandaging equipment. Also now that its hot out a few...

I used to get away with a full on wild man beard. My company did not care at all. I also had really long hair. Recently (due to the heat) I have shaved down to a neat goatee and a buzz cut. AND I'M KEEPING IT. I fell in love with this. So much cooler, easy to maintain, and the...

My only question to those with more experience, as I would have stopped as well, is aren't you required to stay with him once you start care until you can hand him up to a higher level? Or is the family and pt's refusal good enough, as there is no refusal on hand to sign? I don't want to...

I'm overweight and have visible tatts. DGAF. My company is cool with it, and I'm losing weight because I want to get on a fire dept EMS service. All of which are cool with visible tatts. Gotta love the Chicagoland area. Many FFs, EMT-B/Ps, and LEOs have visible arm sleeves, random...

3 13 hour shifts a week. Usually a little longer though.

I've always liked you RR. I totally agree! I have wiped behinds, and changed diapers. Some partners have told me that we dont have to do that, we arent CNAs. I disagree. Pt. care (and IMO in IFTs this includes comfort) is number one. You gotta do what you gotta do.

Finally did a run. Short and sweet return to NH from OLR. And...back to posting OLR. Off in half an hour. Wish me luck folks.
