    What have you lost?

    Lost - Precious moments with my wife and son. Any type of normal sleep cycle. Im sure some of my tone based hearing. Probably several years of health for my back/knees when I'm older. Gained - a fear of being in a state where I cannot care for myself. A sense of just how beautiful and...

    static cardio

    I think that since you failed it on your original attempt, as well as your two retests that that counts as one full attempt. You will now have to redo all stations after remedial training for you second attempt.

    Boss Says No Tatoos or Piercings, Is Legal?

    Except that if you request it, a former employer can give nothing more than your dates of employment, and can say nothing good or bad, about performance. They can however, say if you are eligible for rehire.

    Why do alot of EMTs go into nursing?

    I understand what you are saying, but not all places in the US are like the previous posts. I have the same if not more education as the nurses in the area(my service requires it) and our pay is equal to the pay for ER nurses in the area. We, unfortunitly, are the exception and not the rule.

    Not quite my first death, but close

    But you linked to a patients name, posted details about the incident, admitted you were there, and posted details about the aftercare/patients outcome. Anyway you look at it, it is wrong. It does not matter that it was already public information, that does not give you the right to spread it around.

    Does this make me a bad EMT?

    Bstone- I never stated that it is not ok for an incident to freak you out. Running away when that happens is a completely different story. The OP's most recent update completely changes things, as now it sounds like the amublance was leaving, tasks were performed and she was no longer needed...

    Does this make me a bad EMT?

    Running is not running. Running due to safety of you or your crew is acceptable. Running because the patient might be the same age as a family member and this upsets you is not acceptable. You dont get to choose the age of your patients, and if you are responding to the page, esp in a volunteer...

    Does this make me a bad EMT?

    I'm sorry. Regardless of what you would have or would not have done had you been the sole provider, if you walked or ran out of the ambulance/call as first responder or not you would not be working on a truck with me again. I think it would help for you to talk to someone about this. Sometimes...

    Staging in EMS

    I know I am just feeding the many named troll. But Yes I have. On just about every code we have around here. The day they didnt assist in some way or initiate if they arrived first would be the day they are most likely looking for a new job.
