I came up with that while training combat lifesavers. Most of which were ROTC brats who just finished college. Some of them actually ended up using the skills. Others just do it because it looks good on paper.

As you all may know I work for a BLS transport service. Just recently we lost a patient (he wasn't with us when he passed, he was in the hospital.) He was a great old guy who loved the ladies. First time I met him i was taking his Hx when a nurse from his nursing home walked past, he held up his...

Alot of us like to refer to motorcycle riders as roadrash burgers or plain ole' job security..

I do agree with you on most levels Rid but, it is my understanding in Indiana that even if you go from nothing to paramedic school, you must still take the EMT-B course in order to go on to medic training. They are all part of the same curriculum in our local Technical School. I have checked on...

Anyone remember The Boy Who Cried Wolf!??? Same thing just different situation. I would have done the same though. Good Job!!!!!

All I have to say is BRAVO!!!! I love everything you said. I love the fact that those dull transports are always someone who is worse off medically wise than i am yet they still have a great disposition on life. I am one of the people who like to get to know the COMPLETE medical HX of my...

In response to Triemal04.. I have worked with this guy since, and his attitude has been pretty much the same each day I work with him. He has only seen this pt a couple of times due to the fact he has made it blatently clear he does not care for her. He cannot give a reason. But, none the less...

I agree with the both of you. I am going to wait to see if he chills. But, on the other hand i did document it in a incident report to cover my a** as well.

Lat night I met my new partner. He was cool at first till he opened his mouth. I have heard of people having a bad day but this guy took the cake. I am new at this Transport company and he has been there for a while. As i Introduced myself he bagan a tyrade on how bad the company as and what a...
