You don't want any variety?

I was actually going to post that second video in the Lounge forum but found the time (by that I mean I never got around to it... :P). I was very impressed with the EMS Anthem song; I quite enjoyed it. I hadn't seen the first video though. I have respect for this guy, and I wish there were more...

Not to provoke the dragon, but how else does an ambulance manage to get hit by three vehicles in an intersection? Highly unlikely that there were 3 people running a red light at the exact same time and more likely that 1 ambulance went through a red without stopping at the intersection to make...

Story here $10 says they blew through the intersection... Things like these are easily avoided.

Your guess is as good as mine; this sort of situation is in a galaxy far, far away (B)) from my scope of practice. But common sense would dictate that, if toxins were present in the decaying arm, severing the arteries would not allow said toxins to spread into the rest of the body and throwing...

In our area if there's ever notification of a previous altercation in the last little while PD will be dispatched to whatever we're called out for (regardless of type of medical/trauma emergency).

I'd never let the patient leave my sight. At the same time, I wouldn't let my partner leave me in a house along with a man that just pointed a gun at me and threatened to pull the trigger. If he's bouncing, I'm bouncing. Glad neither of the EMTs are hurt, but things could have been managed a...

Hahaha, I enjoyed this.

Had the same scenario; however, the already inebriated guy and his buddies decided to play "cowboy" and put alcohol on the wounds... They used a can of beer that had somebody's cigarette ashes in it.

A trade name is a name that is commonly referred to when talking about drugs (Tylenol, Aspirin, Bayer's, etc). A generic name is simply that; generic and not trademarked (acetaminophen, ASA/acetylsalicylic acid, etc).

They will most likely throw in a question or two regarding acts, but they will never question you on something you cannot do; they are not there to trick you. Sure, they may suggest or allude to something that is out of your scope in an obscure way (read the way it's written!) - ie. assist a...

Remember: they will never test you on something that is not a part of the EMR course. As you should have picked up on during your course, it is not like high school or anything of the equivalent in terms of material delivery. 75% in class and 25% of it is your own reading, studying and...

"Morior Invictus" Means "death before defeat", which is something I tend to live by. I also don't like to lose. My next tattoo will be "Acta non Verba" across the bottom of my clavicles, which means "actions, not words". My reason to get it is a bit negative (I have very bad experiences with...

Got a friend of mine to take it on. She did real well. She managed to get a proper dx after about 15 minutes of talking on Facebook. 20 or so year veteren of 9-1-1 EMS and an instructor for NAIT as well as an examiner for the Alberta College of Paramedics (all levels of prehopsital care)
