    Practicing IV cannulation.

    In class, we did live sticks on each other. Then, what i found was a relatively inexpensive and coarse replication of the the real thing for practicing "muscle memory technique" was to get a a hold of a bunch of IV caths and some straws (take some from Dunkin Donuts or McD's...and put them in a...

    Judges do not exert direct control over individuals...free will is intangible, and certainly as are the subsequent actions therein. Judges do, enact the interpretation and execution of the law, and in that right, I agree that ,within their granted power, decide upon an individual and his/her...

    soldier kills herself after failing emt exam

    Medic school is very demanding of more than just your time alone. It commands your patience, your mental composure, and many cases (due to time management/constraints) your social schedule. I can't speak for other medic programs across the country, but I will use my experience in...

    9 m/o dies from eczema
