I can hardly wait until Vent sees this one...:rolleyes:

Welcome, from another Jurassic EMT

If something goes wrong and the prank is taken the wrong way, it won't reflect well for you, your members, or your agency. When the local newspaper trumpets "Yourtown Fire Department implicated in hazing following probation for prior incident", it's too late for everyone. Leave the pranking to...

C'mon, really? If you look at the NREMT Forum you'll find 229 threads, most dealing with testing and tips to successfully pass the Registry exam. The people on this board are some of the smartest and most helpful in EMS, but we can't do it all for you. That aside, best of luck on the test...

Just think, she'll be teaching manners to her children one day...:unsure:

The one I used to sled and toboggan on growing up in Cleveland was named after the first kid that died there. We didn't tell the folks about that little bit of history for a long, long time... http://www.lkwdpl.org/lore/lore09a.htm

Now we're going to start getting asystolic choking cases with imploded livers. Thanks, Dr. Oz! Maybe Dr. Phil can make them feel better about helping their spouse down Glory Road, too. Sheesh...

Your profile picture(s) are fire-related; how is gauging your ears going to affect that? I can assure you that the day you showed up in my station (volunteer or career) with rings in your ears would be your last. Nothing personal, but I don't know any departments that would allow it due to the...

Well, thank you! Card-carrying NREMT since 1987, MFR since 1981; is that old-school enough, or do we need to get Rid and Mycrofft in here, too?

I don't smoke, never have, but if someone I work with wants to light up in my proximity I'm OK with it as long as they're downwind. My service recently instituted a $25 per pay period (26 PP per year) surcharge on smokers, due to their increased incidence of health issues. They also offered...

Equal time for EMS, my brother...lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tENsLVH8UFE

I glory in my anonymity...:P

:beerchug: Four hours on icy roads? A wonder you had anything left for the Registry after a drive like that!

Don't go looking for zebras, expect hoofbeats to mean a horse. If you didn't talk about it in class, don't expect to see it as an answer on the test, meaning pneumothorax means "air in the chest cavity", not "blood and air in the chest cavity". Sleep well the night before, eat a light...

I dunno, Sash; we used the mayo on my three sons several times and it always worked. Our pediatrician recommended it to us, and it was hella cheaper than Rid (the medicine, not the Ryder...lol)

Drive like you're on ice, meaning nice and easy on the starts and stops. Fast isn't smooth, but smooth is fast. Don't worry about your speed at first, it will come with experience and confidence. Drive like a fool all you want, but remember, life's a circle and the one you toss around...

I would be willing to wager a dollar to your dime that it was 99 9/10ths "mommy" and 1/10th of 1% EMT that handled the situation. It was a wonderful save either way.

Why not contact a supervisor or director of a local service and get some ride time? First hand experience and knowledge is always better than second-hand advice. We can't possibly know enough about your situation and motivation to provide useful guidance. Best of luck!

First day, first call; you did fine, and shame on your service for throwing you to the pirahnas like that, IMHO

You washed AND checked out all the units? Geez, I'd love to have you for a partner...:lol:
