Saw this article on FB. Seems interesting. http://www.ems1.com/international/articles/1482976-Doctor-claims-he-could-have-saved-Sopranos-star-after-heart-attack/

At Target earlier, and there's a man who appears to be an "urban outdoorsman" sitting on the bench outside the store. He asked a passer-by for some water, so I went back to my car and raided my stash of water and snacks I keep in the trunk. When I gave them to him, I asked if he needed...

Chaz~ I'm so sorry you had to do that. Telling someone that their loved one is not coming back has got to be so hard. Exponentially harder if that person is a child.

I've never had to use "mechanical restraints" (i.e. tied sheet, four-points, etc) on a child, but I have had more than my fair share of manually restraining children (i.e. holding them down with my hands) who are having temper tantrums or trying to hurt themselves/someone else. Not an easy...

Awwww!!! Cuuuute!! **melts**

This was my plan. Apply with all of the companies at essentially the same time and send good quality copies/scans to each place.

Words to live by!!

"Urban Outdoorsman" such a great term!! And I love the "occupied" sign idea as well!! :lol:

I don't (yet) work in EMS (soon, I hope!), but I do work with little kids (up to age 5). Whenever one of them gets hurt, I pick them up and say something about the ambulance taking them inside for a Band-Aid. I'll usually make a siren sound and "drive" them around in a circle or a figure-8 to...

Sadly enough, I had an aunt and a cousin (mother and daughter) who both fit that bill. Cousin passed away first from lung and kidney cancer. Aunt passed away a few years later from emphysema, lung cancer, and complications due to a broken hip (sustained by tripping over her O2 tubing). *sigh*...

Hey All Y'all~ With the DMV printout, do you have to turn in an ORIGINAL printout, or will a photocopy pass muster? Mainly, do I need to request a DMV printout for each company I plan to apply with? I hope not, cause that would be expensive!!

Wow ... Didn't expect so many 'yes' answers. :blink:

So Sweet! Real Tear-Jerker!

Wait, victim #2 ran away WITHOUT grabbing her 2 y/o son? Or did she grab the baby and run? Or does anyone actually know? Whatever happened, that's a horrible thing to experience for anyone, esp a 2 y/o!! :o :o :o

I live near San Francisco, and I thought you were talking about the Bay Bridge out here. I did a double-take, then saw you are in Maryland.:rofl:

Has anyone here ever transported a Peds (12 and under) Psych patient? Is it more difficult than transporting an adolescent/adult/geriatric psych patient? I think that's going to be the biggest hurdle for me, as there are two psych facilities in my general area that have a Peds ward (Children...

I went back out to the closer DMV (the one I tested at), and I found out why I never got my license. The DMV DIDN'T SEND OFF THE PAPERWORK TO SACRAMENTO!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: What the :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: is up with that...

Dragged my butt out to the DMV today, and was told it was *MY* fault my ambo license didn't arrive, because I had two different addresses. One is my physical/residential address, and the other is my mailing address. I was also told it takes about four months for the paperwork to be processed...
