Ewwwww! Sounds like something that'll cause a few new cases of OCD! :D

Pain out proportion to an injury, decreased power, decreased sensation...How about a compartment syndrome? Exept for the veins.

Yeah, what's with the lights off thing anyway? Between srtudents begging for darkness (usually so they can sleep) and instructors who prefer to teach nocturnally, it's a wonder anyone learns at all! I turn off only those lights which must be dimmed in order to see a screen. More than 1 falling...

Thanks Thanks Hoofguy, Both the song and the story are wonderful. My better half was also treated for TCa just before he started his Paramedic program. He hardly missed a beat at the fire department durimg treatment and a little over year later, got his Medic. I will be sure to share your...

Effusion?? Seems reasonable to put it on the list.

Seriously? :huh:

Several areas of the country have been doing 200 for a few years as part of a long term study. The modified hand position has also been in practice for the last 3 years or so. It too, is expected to be among the minor changes coming up. We started teaching it here in 2007 or 2008...I forget which.

Yeah, but China practices slave labor still.....

Cool! Maybe they can charge per run too.......:glare:

Nice job Dana! Nice coordination of efforts and scene management under such difficult circumstances. Thoughts and prayers for the victim. :)

EMT-I is a good choice for students who either financially choose to, or choose to take the advanced steps one at a time. 99 consists of a bit more A/P, some pharm, advanced airway, ecg interp, IV/fluids and acid base. It is about 200-280 hours. The rest is a review of the Basic EMT course...

Simply apply as a specific type of shift. It's up to the employer. Sometimes being up front on applications does pay off. Good luck!

Are you able to work? If so and you want to work, this sounds like a news worthy human interest story...company fires probie over cancer diagnosis. It's about time people expose some of the disgusting employers out there that build their businesses using medicare/medicaid dollars. Your...

choke, gag, cough cough...Um, sure..whatever Brown says ;)

A tidy hair cut, clean shaven (if it applies), a button down shirt, neatly pressed slacks, belt and polished shoes.... if the interview is for an EMT or Paramedic position. If it's fire, a suit isn't out of the question. Good luck. Hope ya get the job!

Tough times to be quitting but, ya gotta do whatcha gotta do sometimes. Good luck on the new job hunt.

That's actually pretty good for a high school class.

He should have no trouble at all getting a job. People are not always judged by the company they keep. His record should speak for itself...

Nope. AHA has a 30 day window before cards have to be issued. Many TC's won't hand them out until all paperwork has been accounted for. Note that the TC doesn't have to be accountable for their time, only the instructor.
