You'll find a good majority of the people on these forums will recommend you to get into a medic school as soon as you can. Most people I know who are B's and I's for ten plus years are burnt out and show no motivation what so ever not just to go back to school but in patient care as well, that...

I do do most of my shopping in the health food store and i usually drink real brewed green tea but over here we got Arizona Green Tea lol I know the difference I thoroughly enjoy both :)

Well i'm just peachy! theres been a sand storm for the last 3 days but other than that can't complain too much I'm going back home soon

I like/ love green tea (drink it all the time) but there have been "studies" stating it can help with anything from curing cancer to curing Erectile Dysfunction, to clearing up acne, etc... apparently green tea is the most spectacular object on the planet... and you can get a big ole' can for 99...

Ginger works quite well...at least on my daughter just give her some ginger gum i get from the health food store before a road trip and she's good...without vomit ensues every time. As for your first day you will most likely go over TTPs, offline protocols (if your fortunate enough to have...

D tank, laryngoscope with full set of ET Tubes, My brand new very expensive Oakleys at a CPR... yeah I didn't get those glasses back...didn't think it would be very polite to goto a Pt's house who died to get back my glasses... Yeah I left quite a bit of stuff behind now that I read that...

I'm still alive and kicking I suppose they kicked up our Ops tempo last few months we're supposed to be here so not much time online anymore...bleh

I also love the old Fernos as you said they're lighter and easier to clean and why would I care about the aesthetics of it...not like I'm riding a stretcher for dates. The Ferno is a great stretcher I don't care what you say though the Strykers are nice too but I honestly prefer a Ferno over them.

He works for a volunteer ambulance service in Mexico. If their rigs are anything like the ones I've seen in Cd. Juarez i'm surprised they have air splints to begin with. To answer the question... the service I worked for used vacuum splints not air splints but imho it's about personal...
