    Hardest part of EMS

    I think the only downside to all this is: That for every good day or days we get..there is always that one that comes and just kicks us in the gut.

    Private Hospital dictating Pt care

    I agree with coins and farva on this. We do the same thing our hospitals are spread out in rural areas, min. time travel by freeway is an hour, with one being 45min. My hospital is the only level 2 trauma center for 1hour+ around (freeway). So, in some cases it is best to get the to a hospital...

    Are most EMS personnel THIS unprofessional?

    You come in and bash a group of people ask our opinion, then we give it the bash us. You do not understand because you do not know. You are in class, no field experiance. I ask that I am respect as a human, no a member of the company or team right away. This right there will take time, and...

    The kind of loser I want to be!

    Good plan, as you start to lose pounds your skin will become loose and will need to be tightend. I suggest doing light reps or push ups,sit ups, and cruches. Along with bar bells around 20lbs curls and all that fun stuff. Sounds great and a good plan. Sasha also said this limit your intake. I...

    New NBC series "Trauma" this fall

    It is not so much I care about the drama of the show. It is the fact people will look upon this as truth and will wonder what we are doing. I always watched the nursing shows..and it is a joke. We live enough and work enough in plenty of drama and action from day to day. It does not need to be...

    swine flu--is anyone concerned?

    I dont get the flu shot, mainly cause I think it is a joke. People swear by it, others laugh at it (IE. me). If I get sick I don't go around spreading it. I use my PPE, and that is it. You will get sick in this job but I can bet it will be by you walking around the store or touching money than...

    Are most EMS personnel THIS unprofessional?

    Welcome to your first taste of the outside classroom time. Yes the words to the PT were not of good nature but I think just about everyone on here has had that moment were they were not always "nice". Example would be a drunk driver hitting a family and all that stuff that goes with it...

    coping when it gets personal

    I am sorry to hear about that. It is never easy to have to see stuff like that and to somewhat know the person. I try ever call to put it in my head as not my problem. While still keeping my head open to care. Remember, we didn't cause the emergancy..just there to help. I hit the gym when I get...

    New NBC series "Trauma" this fall

    My favorite part is..when I am a medic I can show up to any scene regardless of saftey (cause I mean really, why be safe?). Go to my personal life meetings while on shift, and overall just run around and be happy go lucky. This show is crap, but funny.

    Trauma code

    It was PEA, then got it to 40 beats a min, then lost it 15sec or so after that. It was a tamponede (forgive my spelling tired). Yes full face helmet, and protective riding gear. Got the full report today. Basil skull FX with hemorphage (again spelling, tired). So, there was nothing to be done.
