I have worked as an EMS provider at a motocross track. The younger ones on the smaller bikes tend not to fall that hard. I would say get a good helmet, goggles, and the chest protector. If the child is gonna be doing jumps and such it is a good idea. The boots look like they work well too.

Mostly IFT, with some 911

I miss read... I am with firecoins on this, what is the problem with that?

Do you remember the most important thing they taught you in school? Scene safety? Back away, keep bystanders out of harms way and call 911. That is what I would have done.

It all depends on what your state protocols state. And, if you drive the Pt onto the hospital grounds, they have to have an exam by the ER. This is a federal law. (Cobra)

Paramedic, RRT. Hopefully finishing up my BS. Married, Kids, Nice house, 2.5 pets, great job, and a pool table. that is all.

by shooting the animal in the head, don't you run the risk of the jaw locking shut, or bitting down even harder? If you used electricity to kill it, you would probably hurt the Pt even more. I would say break the animals neck if you could, or shoot it in the heart. I don't think I would give the...

question? When his Sat's were in the 60's, he was warm and pink? did you ever think that the SPO2 sensor was messed up? he had poor circulation, you said you tried 4 times to get an IV, and you still couldn't. I mean, you are bagging them, they are pink and warm, then maybe that the SPO2 was...

I understand a lot of EMS is 911, but IFT is growing more and more and is becoming more abundant and more diverse. I say us glorified taxis need a category. What do you all think?

Most people that are on dialysis have DM and HTN. Those are the 2 leading causes of renal failure.

hey Sarah!

I bought cheap sheers and keep them in my EMS pants. I like to have a couple of pens, pen light, and an O2 wrench also. I also keep a field guide. The thing I think you should spend your money on is a good stethoscope. I bought a really good one and love it. It is better then the ones that have...

Dan and Ian, It is really funny what you can use for a medical reason that a person needs an ambulance. But, be really careful with O2. That is not an automatic reason for an ambulance. You need to justify why they cannot self-regulate the O2. Not just not able to self-administer. Also, just...

A person who is in the hospital and needs an ambulance to be discharged home or a SNF, to bill most insurances you must include why they were in the hospital. Along with the reason an ambulance was needed (how being transported by anyother means would endanger their lives). Yes, I will give that...
