Could be a weird coincidence, but you wouldn't happen to write a blog with the same pseudonym?

It's people like that giving EMS a bad name. And people wonder why (aside from the whole education thing) pay is so low in EMS. As long as we tolerate people like this, we are destined to have conditions that require two full time jobs in quite a few areas to have any chance of living "comfortably".

Congrats. I'm in the same boat in my area. I have my pre hire physical and drug screenMonday morning, and assuming I pass, start orientation tuesday

Nope. Just a like minded basic in MA. On another note, if anyone hijacked an account, wouldn't it be more logical that it was you that hacked mine, since it was my account that posted?

Is it bad form to use your own quote for a sig?

I'll be the guy in the row behind you throwing popcorn. And besides, hell has more fun......

PT: I don't want to go to the hospital. Besides, you don't have enough people to lift me (bariatric pt) ME: What If I get some handsome firemen to help us??? PT: OOOOOh! I loves me some firemen. I'll go. Thank god the bariatric stretcher fit (barely) into the elevator. otherwise, I would still...

Every protocol in the current Massachusetts Statewide Treatment Protocols has a line that states "Administer oxygen using appropriate oxygen delivery device, as clinically indicated." Nowhere in the protocols of the CMRs does it say that a person's mouth/nose are not appropriate delivery...

As Samuel L. Jackson would say if he were a paramedic: "I am sick of the mother :censored::censored::censored::censored:ing pointless oxygen on the mother :censored::censored::censored::censored:ing patient"

don't feed teh troll Since I am dumb-founded that nobody has done this already: :nosoupfortroll::nosoupfortroll::nosoupfortroll: :nosoupfortroll::nosoupfortroll::nosoupfortroll: :nosoupfortroll::nosoupfortroll::nosoupfortroll: :nosoupfortroll::nosoupfortroll::nosoupfortroll...

but are they sweet pickles, or hot and spicy pickles?

Thank you. I figured it would be obvious that I would be joking, especially since the whole nto being able to do anything pre-hospitally thing was already covered
