Standing orders for both pedi and adult. .3mg/kg to a max of 5. and i sure as hell like the "IN" route for this med alot better than tryin to get an IV on a floppy fish. they give us the diazepam in the adult protocol, but as i said, im not messin around with the IV. much easier up the nose.

I think its a good idea that we pay closer attention to infection control procedures, but the medics and EMT's are not the only ones that need guidance on how and why we need to do this. supervisors and dispatchers should also understand this. if it takes me 30 minuites more than normal to...

Good luck with the new company. you sure they still have Texas, cause we actually got sold off recently. RAM bought us.

you know i tell you this everyday at work. you're gonna do fine. i think you're gonna enjoy it way too much.

i quit for a while, just for you. I thought it would be a good idea to get everyone to quit JUST FOR the attitudes and moods that would be going around. maybe give dispatch a taste of their own medicine.

I wanted a job that wasnt behind a desk 9-5 M-F. i wanted to WANT to get up when the alarm clock went off at the behind crack of dawn. i guess it didnt hurt that my dad and grandfather were both combat medics in the military. years of listening to my dad tell stories had me hooked as a kid, and...

My partner and i are guilty of this i guess. He and i were working an event, cotton bowl to be exact. we were just patrolling our assigned area, when we spotted the intoxicated person. realising that there was nothing we could do for the guy, and LEO had already spotted him and couldnt do...

I'm a Paramedic, but i ride with a basic. i ride with the same guy everyday, and ill be the first to say, i dont know what i would do without him. He is filling out applications for fire dept's in the area, and i told him the other day, he better not put me down as a reference because i will...

I've stopped before. witnessed a police vehicle spin out and hit the jersey barrier, we had a non emergent patient on board going to a doctors appointment. my partner stayed with the pt, i went to check for injurys. come to find out, not a police officer driving, just the guys from the siren...

I just kind of thought about this and wanted ya'lls input. ive smoked since i was 18, and have tried to quit over the years with no success. i was kind of thinking about starting something at the ambulance company i work at. i know there are alot of smokers where i work and i figured if we all...

are we talking inentionally or unintentionally broken. -Broke a nexthell once. they make great soccer balls at the grocery store. i told them that i was attempting to put it in my thigh pocket as we were pulling the stretcher out, phone slipped and the wheels dropped on it, they believed me...

oh jesus...

I would be ok with "AmbUlance Driver" But the one i hear most is "Ambalance Driver" and everytime i get this huge smile when i hear my partner start cracking up.

99' Ford Ranger with 125,000 Mi.

I think Guardian hit it dead on,The cameras wouldnt be so much for the law suits, just more "big brother" over your shoulder at ALL TIMES. I already get harassed by the FTO's and supervisors as is, last thing i need to do is go into work every morning for a sit down in the "viewing" room. I took...

wow... just wow...

I dont know if i understand this right. As said before, they left out the fact that the car hit the ambulance, they leave that out but point out that the driver of the medic had a "propensity" to drive recklessly? Just wierd.

Sounds like a few of my past female partners.

After my partner took some ribbing from the night medic at the christmas party, he got so heated over it, almost took it personally. we went to the "gay" area of our city and picked up some tiny tiny rainbow stickers. when we got back to the station we put one on his personal vehicle. the...

i actually used to work at a radio shack back in the day. not really that long ago, but still. it sucked. and i was probably one of the guys that knew the least about electronics. radio shack is all about the bottom line... profit. sometimes for me its almost the same as those people that never...
