Excellent narrative and case-following. Definitely a good incident to learn from...

You're welcome; glad I was able to help. Good luck on the 7th...

I would make every attempt to get squared up with the DMV before next week and get a receipt. If it comes up during the interview, explain what happened and produce the receipt; provide a copy for their records, too. If you can't get everything straightened out before the 7th, offer to provide...

Wonderful outcome with answered prayers...

In my Southeastern US locale, a 10 year history is the norm for an application, and it has to have been updated within the past 30 days to be valid at most places I've applied to for employment.

How would you deliberate him? :deadhorse: May I suggest a medical terminology class?

Once you've done compressions during an extended call, you'd just as soon enter a competition to see how many slivers you could have driven under your toenails before giving up. The price ain't worth the glory(?), dude...

Andrew, If you're interested in joining any type of Explorer program, contact your local council first (look under Boy Scouts of America in the phone book). As far as what you'll experience, well, that depends on the organization sponsoring the post. Becoming a paramedic is not easy...

Great news! Glad you're on the mend.

Among the "old-school" EMS crowd you will find a lot of love directed toward those old Caddy rigs. Firetender was right, they rode like a cloud and were the state of the art in their day (as compared to my town's 1970 Pontiac station wagons with the standard roof (!), a stretcher and a first aid...

Has she been in close/repeated proximity to any farm animals (other than the one sharing her covers at the moment?) Everything seems to point to respiratory, and I wonder if this is a sheep farm or other type of livestock operation, which would raise my suspicions towards anthrax or something...

We had the lights shot off the top of the unit (on West Howard St. in Pontiac, MI, if anyone cares) one cold night back in the 80's. Call was for a cardiac; the house was abandoned and we were targeted as we left. The police told us that it was most likely a rifle that destroyed the rotators...

Darn skippy it was good!! Let's look at it from 180 degrees out: kid is partially obstructed on food and you're *not* there. Chaos ensues and an untrained but well-meaning person tries to help and lodges the food further down. Now baby is blue, no one has called 911 yet because everyone forgot...

Apparently not. Stick a fork in it and cue the violins; it's over... http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2010/05/14/nbc-cancels-trauma-mercy/

You have a lot to prove, not just because of your age, but because of your shiny new card. You need to be on time, show up with a clean uniform and decent looking footwear. You need to be that person who is first out the door to wash the rigs, check out the spare unit(s), and do the food run...

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cleveland plans to merge its EMS and fire operations, union officials said today. Mayor Frank Jackson just briefed fire and emergency medical service union officials. Union leaders said the term being used is "integration."...
