You know when I first started in EMS I told everyone I didn't know if I would be able to handle pediatric calls. Well I guess last night proved everything to me that I am and will be there to help anyone that needs. Thanks for helping me understand that how we manage on these calls.

My prayers are with the family! I have always been told to never get out by downed wires! I understand they were trying to get everyone out for safety reasons but they would have been better off to stay put!

We purchased jackets last year with reflective tape on them but we got the break away vest a few months ago. They are all loaded on our rig ready to go in a pinch!

Ok so I need a little more sleep. My last question was suppose to say the following! Have managed to block the feelings and am I a cold person? Thanks everyone as I now understand why it isn't bothering as I saw it did bother a few people last night. I guess I managed to separate myself and...

I responded to a call last night to a 14yr female hanging. We get on scene and the police are there trying to get her back. We worked this girl for 45 minutes and the ER staff worked her for another 10 minutes before calling. The whole crew there did everything we could. This was my first...

OUCH! Hope he is doing better!

I love my Macbook. We just spent around 1200 to have our desktop windows xp, recovered and repaired! The damn thing crashed and took it in they got our info off it that cost us $500 and almost $700 to get it up and running again after three months! I wish I could of talked my husband into an...

Job done well! Glad to hear your getting a helping hand on equipment. I live in NY and I know during the summer Hatzolah is all around and is still here even in the winter but not as many. Have you looked into Hatzolah?

I have used it on the one major MVA I went on. Actually the EMT-CC was going to pull the pt out of the car without it, but when I said "You want to KED her?" he took it and used it. The nature of the call was a car vs. tree with major front end damage. The KED was on her and she was out in...

It isn't that my company won't pay for ALS, it is what I want to do and see if I want to take the step into medic. If it isn't a stepping stone than why is it offered?

I have to agree with what others have stated above me. I was nervous, excited all the above you named when I started last year. Bossycow pointed out a very true thing about the fear paralyzing you. I know when I went on my first cardiac call I was paralyzed a for what seemed like 10 minutes...

I'm not from NJ but for my NY tests practical and written went as followed. My practical we had to be to the place at the time the instructors told us to be. If we were late we pissed off the instructor that had to read us whatever it was before starting. We than had six stations some were a...

Well I am going to be taking the next step in EMT. I start class Sept 2, for EMT-I. I didn't think NY even offered the class anymore. I found a place about an hour away. I called to see when they offered it again and they only offer it once a year. So I figured out a way I could take the...
