Try some Ativan.

Everybody is a paramedic in canada. They diluted the word down to meaningless. The 50 odd titles/ranks we’ve used in America wasn’t the right solution either; but calling everybody the same thing is more confusing to me.

It’s been awhile since I looked at this with an interested eye; but I recall at the time that a NR paramedic could, in theory, with a mountain of paperwork and bureaucratic shenanigans, obtain licensure at their EMT level, which at the time was really more akin to our intermediate level which...

What a vibrant imagination you have...

MMC, TWIC and STCW if you’re vessel crew, BOSIETT and HUET regardless. So there’s like five grand with travel and lodging, and thats just off my knob if nothings changed. I havent worked off shore in a decade.

And here I thought I was going to have to wait at least a week for the next “I‘m so awesome” tall tale from this jabroni. What a treat. Here we have another completely made up tale of heroics, iced with a made up condition he also just happens to have cured. Mods, please dont ban this guy. You...

I don’t need either the exit wound or the bullet to diagnose someone as gun shot. question 1: was there a gun? question 2: did it go off? Question 3: was it pointed at this fella when it did/ question 4: has he always had this smoking, bleeding hole in his chest? Diagnosis: high velocity...

I love that episode.

I’ll bet my left kidney, which is my favorite kidney, that right around 0% of that is true. You’re not going to make any friends playing the super basic(or medic) card around here. There are straight whacker forums that are little more than an echo chamber for people to congratulate each...

Perhaps it’s different for physicians, but for EMS unless you're employed by the group in question, you tend to get very little beyond a wallet card. Some of them offer various discount programs, usually with onerous restrictions. Some make mention of various types of assistance, most of which...

Find out the company’s name. Google it. Click around till you find the jobs section. Find the posting for the job you want. Read the instructions. Follow them. Basically the same plan as every other job at a place you aren’t juiced in.

Logic would say that the duration of the documents effects would be from the minute that the document is used to restrict the named patients freedom and extend to the statutory period thereafter. California is anything but logical, so clearly that’s out the window.

Why must you write like that?

I bet the NAEMTs will be able to answer your question, and I’d bet that the answer you get from them will be more correct than what we can offer, unless one of ou r resident physicians happens to also be a NAEMTs course medical director.

Intubation frequency is the primary argument used against field intubations, so I’m guessing there is at least some traction to the idea that, if we don’t do it often, maybe we shouldn’t do it at all... Sure, even after along hiatus, people have been able to demonstrate success. I would hazard...

The narcan didn't hurt, and in my opinion wasn’t a bad move. You have an unresponsive patient with constricted pupils(cut this “slightly” **** out. It’s a yes or no question). They have an adequate respiratory drive, which is the only questionable part of giving them narcan. As far as the debate...

If you can do the job, I don’t care if you’re black or white, old or young, male or female, gay straight or whatever they come up with tomorrow. Get to work. If you can’t do the job, I don’t care if you’re black or white, old or young, male or female, gay straight or whatever they come up with...

Well, if ever there was a case that would get my support for an online, accelerated, or both EMT course, this is going to be the one. I would find the cheapest, easiest, best scheduled, or populated by the best looking(insert your fancy here) EMT school available and bang it out. You don’t...

Fortunately, there are nerds with internet access and a lot of free time willing to do thing like write https://www.calculator.net/take-home-pay-calculator.html so someone like me who can only tip in 10% increments a chance at budgeting.

When the patient fights the vent, high pressures cause damage to the lungs of a number of flavors. I don't know anything else about the patients condition or previous treatments, so I can't really comment on the facilitys response. There are times when the correct, or at least the most correct...
