I'm a fan of gun rights, and guns in general (I have my own pistol and permit, and my husband is a collector. We probably have close to 50 in our home) However, I don't trust myself or my partners well enough for a gun to be on an ambulance with me. Its too easy to be overpowered by your...

I did that on purpose ^_^

no, pervs. I'm not asking if you are having sex w/ your partner....:P Do you have a regular partner, and are they the same sex or opposite sex? All 3 of my regular partners have been male. 1 treated me like a girl, 1 \was too big of a douche bag to treat me like anything and my current...

5... 1 EMT/driver 1 Paramedic to do airway and push drugs 2 firemen/first responders to bag and compressions 1 fireman to drive their truck to the hospital and pick up the firemen This is the normal scenario in my county. They have 4 men firemen, and we have 1 EMT-I and 1 Paramedic on...

We have 2 24 hour trucks out of my station. 2 bedrooms up stairs w/ 1 bed each, 2 bedrooms down w/1 bed each. On my shift the paramedics are men, EMTs women. The men sleep upstairs, the girls down. Its not a privacy thing, in our case the men snore like polar bears and fart all night...

wow, sorry those are so enormous.

This is Will. He turned 6 last month. He is aspiring to be a cop, fireman, paramedic, doctor, airline pilot and professional fisherman. This is Caroline. She would be turning 5 in June, she passed away 19 months ago from injuries sustained in a bulldozer accident. She was 3 years old...

my nephew was 980-something when he was diagnosed at 11 almost 5 years ago. I've only ever seen "high" in the field, I don't remember ever asking what the hospital results ended up being.

Ditto... I do the same thing @ the beginning of each shift along with the rest of my check off duties. I'm confused....Is a typical BLS crew not allowed to begin IV fluids in some states? In Ga, if I'm an the truck w/ another EMT-I, working as a bls crew, i can still begin fluid therapy.

This is yet another area where I really show the newbie... are there seriously areas where dispatch decides whether lights and sirens are warranted? Is that not a HUGE liability??? In my county, if you call 911, youre getting a truck w/ lights and sirens, even if you request no l/s due to...

I think T-shirts are appropriate in certain circumstances... like midnight-8am on a 24 hour crew, assuming they are crisp and not ratty. That being said, I'm 24 hours and don't get to wear teeshirts. I end up sleeping in my polyester uniform shirt that is terribly uncomfortable because I...

I'm Erin McBrier (married Cooley)... partly irish, partly scottish however I don't know my heritage or if I have any irish or scottish to back up my name!!!

get on scene where pts c/c is "clear liquid coming from my mouth and making my pillow wet" The DIB was only a problem when he removed his O2 to smoke another cigarette. Nothing like a little inbreeding at its finest.

I can't help you out.. I think our service went for the biggest, most awkard to carry jump bags ever invented

I'm Sue......

I'm confident that this has been asked, and discussed, so no need to tell me to look it up. I want to discuss it.... Two times this week I've been en route to the hospital w/ unstable pt (1 head bleed, 1 really, really sick baby that ended up having a 106* fever after 17 miles of cooling...

None of us will ever know enough... however, I am confident that I know enough/knew enough out of school to do my damndest to keep a pt alive until we got to the hospital. Make sense?

The company that I work for (AMR- Troup County) is only hiring B's at this point (its a company wide thing apparently and a real PITA for a state that has very few EMT-B's) Kev, where i work the I isnt treated as a medic. Actually, we're treated as an ambulance driver. I don't get to ride...

I finished school March 15, tested the following Friday (written) and Saturday (practicals) It took about 2 weeks to get my results from that. The day after, I hand delivered my paperwork and got my state numbers. I started applying that day. My first 3rd-ride w. my company was on May 15...

I've searched online, and asked the HR director @ work, but I'm still not completely understanding how it works in regards to pregnancy. Is anyone familiar that can help me?? My hubby is having a vasectomy reversal Tuesday (12/9) assuming it works, I will have to have a cerclage and go on...
