You have to do whats in your best interest, no doubt they are going to do what's in theirs.

I dont know, give it a shot and report back to us.

I have to admit I don't wear gloves nearly as often as I should, when I started in ems no one wore gloves, stabbings, shootings, and car wrecks it didn't mater. I try to keep a pair on me at all times, because if I don't have them I won't attempt to get them I wash my hands religiously...

How many of your coworkers have breen doing this job thirty years, maintained a marriage and are financially sound? You are the exception not the rule, it takes a special breed to punch this clock for thirty years. Well done. Not everybody can nor will.

Your applying to a fire department, chances are you will be doing something relatively dangerous on a regular basis. I agree with the gut feeling, this comes with experience and useful tool, it has saved my but on more then one occasion. If your faced with that question I would simpley...

Do you have any friends that attend a local college or university, you may find a deal, around here you need a student ID to buy a used book. This may not be the case everywhere, maybe ebay.

So I have the right to choose my doctor, the hospital and where I want to have my surgery, but I can't choose who I call when I am in the midst of a medical emergency. If I choose to open the phone book rather then call 911contacted provider I think Im well within my rights. No?

Theres one. Moments in the death of a flesh mechanic. Maybe you've seen it.:)

Bingo!

The smiley face commonly denotes humor. That statement wasnt made in relation to the original.

Im pretty sure doing over 100mph in a Kia is going to result in instant death 100% of the time. :) My defense would have been its a Kia it can possibly go over 100mph. :)

Good news man. :beerchug: Best of luck.

Its all about the outcome.

Yeah take her to the hospital. 8/10 abdominal pain s/p traumatic injury in the second trimester. Is she bleeding, contractions? I'm no OBGYN but uterine rupture, placenta abrupto, pre-term labor, maternal hemorrhage just a few reasons I'm not sitting around. Do they expect you too hang...

I see this with new/inexperienced providers all the time. The thing is they don't have the experience, they follow the regimented step process taught and any deviation from isnt considered, they don't realize yet that there is a hundred different ways to get to where your going, experience...

I'm sure their using it, they may not verbalize it. It isnt a test where you need patient participation, it should take you fifteen seconds to determine a GCS and you can use it as a baseline.

Well said!

I couldn't tell you the last time I saw a deer, it's been a while. People on the outskirts hit them once in a while, but with my own two eyes it's probably been years.

So maybe it's location dependent, we don't commonly run things over, there isnt usually dead animals in various states of decomposition along our roadways, I have seen a wild deer once in my life. So if we hit something in the street chances are it's going to be a person and not wildlife.
