I learned so much as a ER Tech than I did on the truck and in basic class. You have many doctors and nurses to share their knowledge and to teach you many things. Plus, like Vent said, you are exposed to so much more than on a "911 rig"

I'm willing to bet even if he was flown to the hospital 10 minutes after the crash, he would still be in a vegetative state.

This is why basics shouldn't play with the monitor. I wonder how many joules he had it set to. Jackass

Nice! We are going from the MD902 to a 407 and a EC135 (we were sold to Med-Trans).

Looks like a run to the cath lab to me 3rd degree ;)

This is why I love air-horns.

I never had to wear a uniform to class, only to clinical. Uniforms to class? gay

Don't take away my blinky things!!!

Drug addiction/drug-seeking behavior killed Michael Jackson. The greedy/fame-seeking physicans enabled him and fed his addictions. Humans are evil creatures.

We've been using them for nearly a year here, they work great - no major complaints that I've heard. Plus, the statistics on them are impressive.

Bwahahahahahahah!

I agree 100%. Dead-on with that post.

I thought medic school was a breeze. I didn't lift a finger or go out of my way to do good on anything; it was that easy. Class 2 days a week for maybe 3-4 hours. Rotations/truck time - it was a cake walk. Nursing school was a lot harder! Organization, time management, 5 days a week of...

I hope more medical directors do this. We all know someone that scares us with their assessment skills and treatments. Paramedics are working under this doctors license, they should understand that if they are not up to par they can be demoted to a lower level; regardless of their...

Blue flight suit :P
