    :+: Street EMS :+:

    Ok, here's my 2 cents... Penny #1: I NEVER teach my students what we call "Real World" (Street) EMS while they are in the EMT-B program... why? Because the Registry doesn't test you on "Real World" stuff, they test you on DOT Curriculum from the book.. oh, and there's another reason... some...

    I would agree that he is an AWESOME lecturer / speaker... although, on another level, I lost a little respect for him at a local conference here a few years ago.... DT4EMS... I'm jealous, I wanted to go to the ICE(P) conference, but the new job (that is not EMS related) had me too booked up...

    You're using Steve Berry as a reason to move to Colorado.... ????? I'd be more inclined to use the beautiful scenery and the number of calls... but of course, that's just me.

    I would have to agree... this type of training should be a requirement for all EMS personnel.

    Gym told to pay $619,650 in man's death because it didn't have a defibrillator

    I predicted long ago when AED's first became the "standard".. that sooner or later there would be more liability in "not" having one onsite, than in having one. Expect to see more and more of these types of suits in the the future. In fact, I've seen about half a dozen related to Fitness...

    NR Exam..

    It's always heavy on Airway, and shock. I think the reason that you may have been told to pay attention to OB is due to the fact that EMT-B classes usually don't spend a TON of time on that topic, and depending on your instructor, certain aspects may not have been emphasized enough. Always...
