I understand that, I'm specifically quoting my Instructor. As in "bulb" and "it's for stability" verbatim... I was stating that I was advised I got the wrong one in the first place.

Yes, bulb = bell. It's to hold onto for stability purposes.

Vent Monkey, Toilet Paper My Arse... TPME = ?

I'll heed the advice you have both given. I'm familiar with the "Prehospital Care" textbook, it was used in 2010 for my first EMT-B Class, and it was great. My weak spot is the pathway of blood flow through the heart and the oxygenated/deoxygenated blood. I will review all of it thoroughly...

The Littman Stethoscope I bought for class didn't have a bulb on it, and I was advised it's a Nurse's Scope. I was told by our Practical Instructor that it might be tricky to use on female patients when auscultating because the need to possibly feel a breast could be there. The instructor...

I agree with Desert Medic. I went and bought basic working products for class - and used them with no issues. Amazon, and Chinatown were my shopping areas. Good luck.

Hi EMS Family, So, at the risk of sounding like I'm immensely fretting, which I kind of am - I'm seeking advice again on studying for my upcoming state exam next month. As (I think) I mentioned in another post, I regrettably don't feel like I'm confident enough to pass because the course...

Here in NYC, there are opportunities for civilians to participate in MCI training through some city programs that educate individuals in Emergency Responses. I've participated in a couple, a few years ago, but am interested in joining one as an EMS member when I join an agency. The thing with...

I always felt respected by receiving department care members, and dialogue was two way. Although I personally haven't encountered any negative interactions or frustrations I'm aware it is possible for that to occur. Once I renew my card and go back on a bus, I'll look forward to getting back...

Josh, Thanks - I like that idea - I didn't really think to quiz the group. I'll definitely advise that in our next session. Thanks for your advice.

Hi all, Thoughts? The mother stated she'd drive the daughter to the hospital herself, although I believe assessments should have taken place. Click here to read the rest of the article. Moderator's note: Edited post to meet Fair Use guidelines.

Hi EMS Family, Do your agencies do routine MC Trainings or drills? I'm hoping to participate in one upon my course completion. https://www.ems1.com/patient-handling/articles/384381048-Training-day-Disaster-response-transporting-patients-from-the-scene/

Hi All, I've held one study group so far, and it was more like a lecture group instead of a uniform study session. I, and the others, are all in the class together and some of the new content is a bit tricky to immediately comprehend so I'd like to hold another group, but don't want it to be a...

LG1, thanks! I will take the quiz this week. I appreciate the info!

Hi Hendrik. For number three it's via the pulmonary artery...?

Dr., that makes perfect sense of course. Thanks.

Remi, Thanks for that - I would not have made that distinction on my own... I'll use that for my study group this weekend!

Remi, I appreciate the detailed break down. It makes sense when listed this way. Thanks.

E Tank, Thanks for the video! I thought about referencing YouTube throughout my course for instructional videos - so I appreciate the nudge.

APRZ, Thanks for the drawing, I'm a visual learner. I appreciate it.
