    Bilateral tension pneumothorax? Oh my!

    I don't remember if it was Canada or the US where a doctor arrived on the scene of a nasty MVC and found that a lady wasn't breathing.. so using a swiss army knife and a straw I think? He gave this woman an emergency tracheotomy and saved her life. Heres the thing.. he was "off duty", didn't...

    was justice served?

    Plain and simple.. she was under the influence while at work, she blew thru an intersection way to fast, and without sirens. She got away really easy. If she was just any old regular person she would have been charged with a lot more than she did. It's not okay to be under the influence at...

    Do you carry anything off duty?

    Basically a cpr mask, gloves, and a cell phone. Not much point in carrying a fully stocked jump kit when EMS will be there in a few minutes. That being said, I will carry a fully stocked jump kit, and sometimes O2 when I go on long road trips. Being in an area which isn't covered by any near...

    Bilateral tension pneumothorax? Oh my!

    Oh, you just need to me advanced life support here in BC to take ATLS, and be a first responder/paramedic to take BTLS. Interesting.

    Guidance Possibly Needed

    Now not being an American, I'm not the resident expert here, but I'll let you know, what I know. Being an EMT-B differers from city to city, state to state. Some cities/states allow two EMT-Bs to have an ambo and run all calls. From 911 calls to inter-facility transports. It really all...

    personal trauma packs?

    For in the city.. nothing really. A small first aid kit, and a pocket mask, oh and my cell for the 9-11. When I go on long road trips, I will take a company jump kit and sometimes O2. Why? Well when you are and hour and a half from the nearest city, and the area doesn't fall under any fire...
