I live in Iowa, and I have seen a significant drop in people moving up the ladder from EMT to Paramedic. We had one school that put on a class for 2 students so they wouldn't lose their credentials. I was wondering is this a nation wide problem?

It is really hard to say. When I was doing seizure inductions in an EEG clinic they occur in small areas sometimes. Each contain different traits.

The lumen of the bone in the tibia is much smaller than the marrow space of the humeral head, this allows for increased flow that you see between the two sites.

Yes SAFER grants are not a sure thing. -- When I worked at a hospital as a flight medic I made $18.00/hr the transport techs that wheel patients to x-ray in wheelchairs with the requirement of a GED and a CPR card were making $22.00/ hr. When I asked my lead flight nurse making $34/hr why...

They make great construction trucks. I have heard of people making them into campers but that is not for me.

SAFER grants are one way to go. (They can be reapplied for, but who knows if you get them or if the government will have the money to keep it going) I think that we really need to make it a necessary service, so we can get funding. EMS has never made great money. Especially when you compare...

We had a guy enter our home once. My daughter and wife have been told aim at the wall and squeeze off a round. Let the dogs out of the kennels and then shoot at what ever moves toward you. I figure if they are dumb enough to be around and approach you after pulling the round off with a 12 g...

I hope you never have to either. I have not gotten a chance to shoot this at the range yet. But I really got a sweet deal on it. Bryon makes his own weapons as well. (The Paramedic I mentioned before.) He and I flew together so I know I was getting a good deal. Have fun with the shotgun!

Probably a lot of injury risks, but in todays' society possible a way to keep from getting injured as well.

Been there twice. I figure it is worth a try. But if they didn't have the money to pay you they won't have the money to settle either.

Yeah, I don't know what happened there. LOL It froze up and then wouldn't upload the photo... seems to be working correctly now..

Kinda like soup cans and string. Feel for the guys

After putting a 450 lb patient into the back of the bus, my partner looks at the patient and says "I have two words for you...Jenny Craig!" I about died right there.

A good vent, a great monitor, a few IV pumps, meds for RSI and longer term sedation, some educated people and a great Con ed program to keep them up on what they learned in the CCP course.

Yes they are great to work with. They are from Canada. So if you get into a vent unit they use minute volume vs. tidal volumes. Also their SMART BVMS are awesome if you have people that love to bag too much!
