    Medic spins out

    Thanks for sharing, helps stretch my EMT brain. Nitro and/or asprin for chest pain guy you say? I'd be on the EMT to handle that ASAP if I was going to work on DKA lady.

    Sprinter Type II Units

    I think they look just fine. They're my favorite units to drive. We have some new, giant Mods that look nice but damn are they heavy and slow and SO WIDE!

    the 100% directionless thread

    Sucks doesn't it? I'm not really new anymore but I know the quickest way to get fired. Already lost one partner. We got a call yesterday to take a PT from an assisted living facility to the ER. Closest ER is literally two blocks away. Oh but her doctor is at the other hospital 15 - 20 minutes...

    Exercise Regimen

    Your abs are there, you just can't see them. The only way to reveal them is to reduce your total body fat percentage. No amount of crunches is going to make magic. Even then, the six pack can be hard to come by. I've kept mine around since high school but I haven't gained a pound since then...

    EMT job info for resume

    Try investing in a sense of humor. Then again, people seem to get upset by hearing the truth. Also, I was helping by bumping his thread, after which more replies came in.

    A fall that the hospital gave me grief about

    I just think back to 2010 when I was T-Boned on the driver side of my little two door car. Passenger space intrusion was present but not terribly excessive. My only complaint at the time was a numb right hand which was from the airbag. Now that I think back I don't recall if the FF put a...

    EMT job info for resume

    You mean how you might put what you do into words? I'm usually pretty creative but I have yet to even update my own resume. Might be tricky. -Drove around, tried not to hit stuff. -Gurney in, gurney out. -Gurney down. Load fat person. Gurney up. -Tolerated nurses and ER Staff without meltdown...

    Starting my own Private Ambulance Service.

    It's a nice idea. The real cash cow would be a dialysis center. That's what I want.

    Exercise Regimen

    Have you tried to gain weight previously? Reason I ask is despite all of those fancy workouts you won't gain muscle unless you can eat to grow that muscle. Trust me I wasted plenty of time in the gym. Not a single pound gained.

    Medlife Ambulance is a great company to work for!

    all I know about them is that they have a bunch of new rigs so somebody's got the dollar bills

    White coats increase your ability to pay attention, EMS uniforms though...

    I wish ours looked more like police gear. We have terrible, heavy pants from a uniform company. The shirt sleeves are too long, I look like a slob.

    How well are we cleaning our rigs?

    We clean very poorly. Our company is too cheap for wipes and we usually run out of spray. I don't wear uniforms home and boots stay in the trunk. I'm very germophobic.
