It's really not a big deal. Most of our stations are housed with FD, a couple are next door to SO and some stand alone. I've worked at all the different housing situations and haven't noticed a bit of difference between them. Except that when I'm at a station housed with FD I have more people to...

I think we use Ativan or Versed. I know we carry both but we haven't had to chemically restrain anyone yet.

My favorite teacher in high school was Mrs Shea, She treated us as equals and as a friend. She always appreciated my work and would always make time for me and my friends after class.

I usully take Ibuprofen, 800mg helps most of my headaches, I get cluster HA's which are basically tension headaches and have midrin on hand for those bad boys. It's been around forever, is safe, is non-narcotic and works every time. Hope that helps...it is a rx though so you'll have to talk...

We ALL felt that way, whether medic or EMT it's just the way that test is and the subject matter we learn. Good Luck and Hang in there. Study what you can and always remember it's the BEST answer your looking for. It's almost never a cut & dry right answer.

:) :) :) Welcome!!! :) :) :) You won't find one online, but most colleges have a program and there's usually a lot of independant places that offer the course. Goof Luck!! Keep us updated!

That's just cool.

If you sit in some warm steam or apply a hot washcloth to your face for a while before you scrub with the dry washcloth it'll help you get more off.

Absolutely, I think it's a great idea and I think once a month is perfect. We have some wonderful writers on here and brilliant people too. DT, Rid, Princess, WHKR (please come back to us!!) and several others could really contribute some great insight in a newsletter I think. If they're willing...

I feel your pain, we have to be in our new place in 2 weeks. It's only a mile down the road but it still sucks donkey balls.

That was my first thought too. ABC's are our main gig but we can never forget C-spine. And while her symptoms didn't call for you to get in her car and hold it, climbing out the window is probably not the best thing to do. The shock of the accident can delay some painful symptoms. Otherwise I...

I know what you mean, I don't even tell people I have them any more. I have 3 that are all very meaningful, but no one can see them unless I wear clothes to show them. I'm getting a huge shoulder/back piece done soon too. Don't let it bother you, if it makes you happy go for it. Obviously I'm an...

oops.............

I know for a fact we don't. I guess the FD might. I was stationed about 45 mins from home and we were next to SO instead of FD. Of course I manage to lock my keys in my trunk with all my gear. So for 4 hrs another EMT & I tryed to break into my car with no success. We did managed to pull out...

LOL Join the club, that was my first thought when I read what you typed too.

ROFL... "Parental Advisory, Wingnut contains explicit lyrics."

:) :) :) Welcome!!! :) :) :)

The ribs sound good!!! We have one of the highest costs of living in the nation and we (EMS) get paid crap here. I'm only supplementing our income so it's not absolutely necessary that I make good money but if I got offered another job where I would make the same or more than Jay did I can't say...

Good Luck!!!! I feel for you, really I do!
