I wouldn't hit that with SandpitMedic's (cough) and ExpatMedic0 pushing. Just sayin... :)

Yeah, assuming the wife gets a tourist visa for the US, we're looking at a trip "home" in November. Probably starting in Boston, grabbing a train to New York, train on to Lancaster and a rental car from there. Ugh... I will always remember a trip to Broadway back in the mid 90s and stopped...

Only if your medical director has authorized you to have that equipment, and authorized you to use it while not "on duty." Otherwise it's practicing medicine without a license in many jurisdictions... and there could be unpleasant questions as to how you physically acquired the ALS gear. and...

Who is performing it? All officers at the appropriate level or is it restricted? All critical care paramedics capable of performing intubation are able to perform RSI. Are you using the same tertiary institutions who deliver your initial education to also teach RSI? Is it part of your...

On side notes, the chicks are hot but likely to take your wallet. The hotel I stayed at blatantly advertised to call the front desk for "romance" to be delivered. But hey, have fun.. stay safe. There is a *good* Scotch Whisky pub/restaurant/bar in Kiev. If you get by the Harley Davidson...

Army languages. I can get scotch, coffee, threaten to kill, "take me to the Americans" or "Hey baby, you youuuu doin" in quite a few.

The memory I _hate_ is from years back. We very frequently went for a cute little old lady who frequently got a little idiopathic brady and passed out. I dont remember about pacemaker and all, but she would. The husband would always be concerned but like "just make her better like you always...

Why am I having visions of a C5 kicking a few of these out? :) OK. We build a yuuuuuuuge catapult. The best catapult. The greatest catapult ever...

Plus versed has that whole amnestic quality. So they may not remember the kick in the chest by a mule. But hey, if you have time to draw up versed, ketamine, whateva... may as well take the time to give adenosine a try. I've only lit up one SVT so far. Cruuuuushing chest pain he thought...

South Korea and Japan is in range of missiles. Both are wanting to put serious brakes on US speed vs North Korea. I'm more of a "drop ten MOABs, with two carrier groups and a handful of ballistic missile launchers offshore" kinda guy.

Back to work after a week in Turkey. 48 hours ago I was at the beach.. Now back at the desk. Ugh. With vacation schedules, the shifts get brutal this month and next for a while. Come on June!

Uhm, I've used some elsewhere but not here. Designed for field use, so it wasn't bad but if you're off-roading insanely it can probably be an issue. My use for them was USAR and also prolonged field care in very forward deployed positions. You're using a $11,000 machine and $25 test to check...

Doh! Perhaps it was a tactical application of electrotherapy, which may or may not have been relatively concurrent with the procedure known as "baptizing with freedom."

...and that messed up my back even more than jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. As I sit with a TEMS running on my lumbar now actually.

That occasionally varies depending on your state. Technically in PA, fire apparatus and police cars operating emergently are exempt from standard rules other than "due regard." Police vehicles, given the need to not use lights or sirens sometimes, were further exempt and could be driven...

Pretty much covered. Just IMO: There's a line. Sounds like that like is way crossed and they're just an unprofessional idiotic *******. If it was "one off" or "rude," I would say, like,.. talk to them and see WTF is up. We all handle stress and bad lives differently and "rude" is certainly...

Crossing many lanes to take the very next exit or so... or heavy traffic on the left, and taking the right shoulder, etc. Trying to get around the Baltimore and DC beltways in years past you also had that fun.

That would explain all those Amsterdam trips buddy... :) I tend to try and visit a fire station every now and then, trade a patch and check out differences. EMS... not as much.

Yeah, my mom is done with pets after her last golden. I went home from a 24 (with a petsitter stopping by) to find my 14yr lab gone... but that's a whole different story, seeing as about the time he passed I woke up from sleep freeeeeeezing cold and wired all to heck and back. I would say...

That and I've always fancied the old cavalry and chivalric eras.
