Have you guys had the FUZE drinks? They are really yummy. Will probably be found to cause cancer.... but they are still delicious.

As someone who has taken 3 refusals from Nursing Home patients.....Its not an easy task to accomplish, especially when the NH staff is standing there with an order from a physician to send the pt out and I am not really incline to wrestle a CAOx4 person, regardless of age, to the stretcher under...

Fifth Grade, Gifted Class. Yea, we are posing the same question to a few other places.

I should clarify then.... The stretcher does not always get brought into the house. Some patients after assessment walk to the stretcher..... some get carried..... some get the stretcher brought to them. Most of them will ride the stretcher to the truck. I get a little upset at the ones...

Had the worst fire in 100 yrs here last night.... took out a city block. Sad, it was in the historical district.

When you presented this to us, you presented it as though you were there. Naturally we will have additional question for you. You were never in the house, so you don't really know what the patients complaints were. You never had any real patient contact, so you don't have any real information...

But, Did he have SOB and Near Syncope prior to calling? As for the "Sucks to Be Him" attitude.... Wow! That is part of the problem. Part of your job as the medical care provider to to ask question to get answers. If you were dispatched for SOB and Near Syncope and now they are saying...

And there it is..... What about the little old lady who calls because she just doesnt feel good? Or the pt who was SOB, but now feels fine? Or the ABD pain pt? or the hundreds of others that call us because they have a problem and it is our responsibility to provide them with the best care...

Your math is a little off..... Its okay though, Im a forgiving princess.... I won't be off with your head just yet:P:D:lol::P:D:lol:

You walked him, all the way to the truck? Does your stretcher not have wheels that could be taken into the house? A quick check of the radial pulse while talking to him would have found that, before you had a pt who called for an ambulance with a complaint of SOB and near Syncope walk out to...

Try this without looking at answers. Do not scroll down until you've completed this part. 1) Pick your Favorite number between 1-9 2) Multiply by 3 then 3) Add 3 4) Then again multiply by 3 (I'll wait while you get the calculator) 5) You'll get a 2 or 3 digit number…add the two digits...

So obviously not EMS related, but I need a random selection of people. It doesnt get more random than you guys. Its for a class project.... Should people be allowed to keep Exotic Animals as pets? If you choose, Yes or Depends.... What type of Exotic Animals should be allowed as a pet...

We have the AutoPulse in our service. The supervisors carry it. I am torn on it. I had a code on Christmas day. We had the pt packaged, good chest compressions, good BVM (intubating in the truck), everything set. As we picked up the pt to head to the truck, my supervisor arrived with the...

Okay, so first of all take a deeeeeeep breath. Second..... There are things your not going to be able to do - at first. You will forget things - at first. You will definantly fudge something up - hopefully only once. Everyone goes through it. Just wait until you pass and get your first...

Acutally just had this happen 2 shifts ago.... We had a 30min transport time with a pt I was giving a CPAP trial to while I set up to RSI her. My partner yells back to me that we are coming up on an accident that is blocking the other lane and he planned to stop. My response to him was...

AHAH!! Thats funny... How about .... Salty Dawg?

This is my 4th day off in a row and I haven't enjoyed them one bit. Finally gave in and quit calling my cough "Allergies" after the fever hit 4 days ago. Of course my BF really earned his spot in my heart when he woke me up, with flowers in hand, and told me "Even with that snot on your face...
