Sounds too good to be true from an EMT-B

The owner actually brought burgers and dogs for us and did the grilling. Even with the stop by to eat we ran 6 calls.

I just remember RUQ - Liver/Gallbladder and and LUQ Stomach/Spleen. I find myself randomly pointing to those quadrants and reciting the organs to remind myself.

Yep, EMS week. I've gotten jack and :censored::censored::censored::censored:. Pretty normal.

More appropriate for us and everyone else is a more versatile 3 Day Bag/72 Hour Bag/Get Home Bag/Bail Out Bag. It will include the most basic first aid stuff as mentioned in addition to clothing, water, cash, emergency blanket, fire starting stuff, flashlight, knife and/or multitool. Makes...

Desperation. I took the EMT course because I needed something to do while unemployed. Then I found a "real job." Real job laid me off and I got an EMT job the next week.

I never even took the Vicoden after having 4 done at once. Man up.

Enjoy! Work is for suckers. I'm working my EMT job because I got laid off from a "real" job. Sucks being poor but I was hired at my EMT job the week after I got laid off. Quite amusing.

Get an X-Ray. Make sure the discs and such are still good. Maybe an MRI. If it's just nagging muscle pain, time to work the back.

If a neither a patient nor a nurse has complained about this person how bad can it be?

crap, now I want one

Best conversation of the day. Female at a board and care, residence, not the PT Her: Oh no, we haven't done anything Me: Don't worry, we're not police Her: I thought you were going to take us away Me: Nope, just and an EMT. It's like a Paramedic (no one knows what an EMT is) Her: Do they pay...

Mr. Kitty

Highlights of the day: 1. Finishing up rig checkout, sitting in the driver seat when I feel something funky/moving on my head. Instant reaction was to throw my hand up to investigate. Felt fuzzy/squishy for a split second then OW! Thanks Mr. Bee. Stung in the left, middle finger. Good...

In the lamesauce world of IFT it's really not dynamic. Most of the info is fed to you by the nurse because it's procedure to get a report. After that it's up to you to see how much of the info you can confirm. Some patients talk, some don't but it's as simple as walking in and starting a...
