Yea, I just want to get my BA to leave my options open. As I said I recently had a close call, and really made we come to terms with the fact that I could very well get an injury that would end my career in this field, and need a back up.

This is me and my partners go to song. We like pop at 3am https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHESy8XsJPs

So I searched through and haven't seen this asked, so bear with me. I currently work FD and start my medic in the fall. Recently had a close call in a fire and kind of made me realize, no matter how much I prepare for this job, there is a chance something could happen that would not allow me...

I work in a smaller system, so we are really close with our officers. They commonly come to the station and drink coffee and bull:censored::censored::censored::censored: with us and we rib each other. They are automatically dispatched to all suicide attempts, assaults, occasionally psych...

Read your book again. Study alot of A&P stuff. Browse online for scenarios. Just immerse your self in EMS content as much as you can without actually working in EMS.

As I do my initial questioning I am feeling their pulse just for rapid/slow, and how strong it is. While I am doing that I watch their breathing just to see if it's rapid/slow, and how well they are breathing. Then I put on SpO2 on one finger, and get a BP on the other other so I can get both...

All of these are really good about learning about medications that patients commonly take. Also for me, I learn all the drugs we stock on the ambo, even if they aren't in my scope. Learn indications, contraindications, mechanism of action, side effects, all of that. It will make you a better...

Yea we tried to explain it to the wife repeatedly but she kept screaming for us to do something, she is a tax payer and wants the full work done. My partners started to work it as I pulled her aside and explained that we will do everything we can, but with the signs we see (cold, liver mortis...

That is what I meant. We get a ROSC only during half life of the epi then it is immediately back to asystole and ETCo2 stays awful, and we call it. If they are workable, then we work the hell out of them, but if it's obvious deaths we can measure, then no, we work it for the families sake then...

Hey so saw this is the place to make introductions, so hi. I'm a FF/AEMT working full time right now. I am finishing up my A&P series and will be starting my paragod school in the fall. And I have found a passion for my A&P so I've been considering continuing and getting my BA in the sciences...

We don't transport dead bodies. We will work it through 4 or so rounds of epi, if we don't get change we call it. We usually work a code 20-30 minutes unless it is obvious death, then we try to not mess up the bodies to much while explaining to the family they have been dead for a while. No one...

So let's break down the 2 drugs. Nitro is a vasodilator. As a basic you can only "assist" a pt with their own, which means they have to be prescribed Nitro. First you must check the BP. We check the BP because it is a vasodilator, so we need to make sure the pressure is <90 systolic first as...

I'm also new here so going to piggy back, just north of you. Glad to find somewhere with actual discussions and a community.
