Is this the EMS version of comparing the sizes of a certain part of the male anatomy?

I personally wouldn't. I think that it should be sufficient to say something of the lines of "I have first aid training", should be enough, no reason to go into titles, unless they specifically ask. Another question, why would you ever need personal clothing that identifies you as such?

Guy got his neck slit by his ex. Lucky dude. 5 inch or so lac, she started up by the masseter muscle and hooked down right across the jugular. Could literally make out the jugular vein and she didn't nick it at all. Captain noticed some wax in the wound and he asked about it and the guy was...

You may have luck trying to get in contact with your local fd and seeing if you can get one of them to help.

Seizure resulting in a MVC. Then another seizure. Then an ecclamptic seizure. All in a row.

That moment when you get amazing seats to the suns vs lakers as a birthday gift and realize you work that night.

Hahaha my bad. I saw desert's photo first and that made me think of something else as in if I being the father was questionable. I'm totally blaming Desert for that moment.

I was just told today! I would not be that excited if it was the first question that I was answering yes to. Haha Edit: I maybe misread that question. I'm not entirely sure. So to keep it simple, I'm leaving it at that I was told today.

So... As of today I found out that I'm a dad! Lots of mixed emotions... But we are both pretty excited. :D

Oh, wow. I literally went around in the morning talking to every anesthesiologist/ crna and they let me rotate through almost all of their procedures.

How many tubes are required? We need 10. I got 12 on my first shift and my second shift at a different facility wouldn't let me tube anyone. It was weird. They let me do a lma and that was all.

I'm actually relocating to Tucson here pretty quickly. All of the Carondelet hospitals are on a big push to integrate paramedics into their emergency depts, and from my understanding the same with more EMTs as techs. So there's that. They're supposed to be really good to work for, the pay is...

So, early birthday present from my girlfriend this morning. Gave me a $5 scratchcard as a joke (long story), and I won $1,000 :cool: Definitely bought a leather race suit today for riding :D

They have an anchor that is put under the skin. It's a long skinny thing and that has a hole that the piercing screws into. The anchor stays in, you have to get them removed by the piercer. She had a clavicle one break off in the socket and never had the anchor removed, so you can still feel it...

Dermals? The ones that just go into the skin right? My girlfriend has a sternal one and hates it. Always complains that it hurts. I don't understand why she keeps it haha.

I've had 9 calls during my 2 shifts so far. Every single one signed a release...

Pt w/ abd pain. She had an appendectomy 4 days prior and had walked almost a mile that morning to go shopping with her cousin.

Well, first day of vehiculars tomorrow. I went to meet my crew members a few days ago and the EMTs made it clear that they weren't fond of a non-fire medic student. Oh and the captain (the only one I knew at the station) just got taken off duty due to an injury and they get a new captain...

Sort of. It's not that it's opening it, it just helps to provide a more stable airway. I don't know how else to word that. To truly help open it would have to be manually (head tilt chin lift/ jaw thrust). OPAs are preferred because they help the tongue from becoming an obstruction. Clinically...
