One of our first responders had it too. Lasted about a day and then he felt better.

Awesome, thanks for the info. I will pass this along to everyone in my fire department and the ambulance crew.

Woke up for a 1am call and there was about 5in on the ground. Woke up for end of shift and there was about 8in on the ground. On duty police officer scrapped the snow and ice off my car (:P) and he said there was about 11in on my car and on his police cruiser.

Its just because he lives in our district. I definitely look forward to learning about it. We have already had it set up in dispatch so that when his address is typed in, they can alert us that its him. The paperwork that was sent to our fire station says he must be transported to Baylor Dallas...

We have a patient with an LVAD in my fire district. A nurse from Baylor is going to come and do a class for us. I won't be able to attend unfortunately do to me having school that day. But I do plan on going to the house and when the family is able to, teach me about it.

Gee thanks. It doesn't really snow here just slush. Of course last month it actually snowed and I was amazed to see real snow in TX. We had 10 inches at my house. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/photo.php?pid=11410234&id=901345441

Stupid TX weather. Nice sunny day yesterday, rain and cold today with a chance of snow/ice. And I'm on shift for 24. Boooooooooo!!!!

Do you go to Collin County?

Had a MVC last night with 2 DOA.......those cows never saw it coming. On the plus side, we now have enough meat to last for a year. Lol. J/K. It was my first cow vs car though. Bloody mess. Thank goodness they found the 10 cows that made it across the road so we didn't have to go back out there...

Choke, choke, choke........Just kidding. You're gonna rock it!!!!!!!

Lord help us all. Lol. J/K. You'll rock it!!!

96 on the A&P final. woop woop!!!!!

Thanks!! I feel good about my A&P test. I've already started making my first round of drugs flashcards and I already want to pull my hair out. Lol.

I have my A&P final on Tuesday and then we start Pharmacology this week:sad:

Take some Ibuprofen. That's what I used to do until one day I woke up and my face was swollen. That's when I decided it was time for them to come out. Well that and the horrible pain I was having. First time I've ever been knocked out. Versed is an amazing drug. Felt like I was out for 5 seconds...

I was an EMT for just over a year when I got my first CPR. Would have much rather gotten during clinical's. I was a little nervous, probably due to it being my first one and that I was by myself until the fire department got there.

Wouldn't this be the medical director's fault vs the paramedic's? They did say that they were just following protocol. My boyfriend works for Dallas Fire and they just started a new protocol for Medical CPR's. They sit on scene for 20 minutes and if no ROSC is accomplished then care is...

My partner is cooking steak with grilled zucchini and squash...YUMMY!!!

If you work on an ALS ambulance and are needing help from another ALS ambulance, don't expect us to be at the meeting spot 1 minute after you call, when the meeting spot is 5 minutes away. When you don't see us there, just blow on by and don't worry about us, we'll keep looking for you for about...

Thanks!!!! I'm super excited and have already been reading ahead while I have the chance. I'm sure it won't be long before I want to pull my hair out. :)
