    Accusations against EMS...

    LEO respond to almost all calls to this area (as a first responder) I am sure he was called in as well. My partner? I trust him with my life. The trainee? He was by my side the entire time. We all were in the room at the same time. The trainee went out to get the stair chair, but that was...

    Accusations against EMS...

    So I had to make a statement yesterday regarding my role in a call we had Sunday morning. Long story short...call was to a trailer park, PT's home was a collection of crap that would put any hoarder to shame. PT's wife comments that she move a lot of stuff out of our way before we got there...

    The acceptability of substance use for recreation...cannabis thread follow up

    I have been asked if I ever experimented with drugs (25 plus years ago) in High School. I look them square in the eye and say "Experiment? No. What I did could have been considered full fledged research." That being said, I have no problem legalizing marijuana. Tax the ever loving crap out...

    First ride along on Sunday!

    I baked banana bread for the crews I rode with. Also, I brought a can of coffee grounds along and donated it to the station(s). Study when not working, offer to help clean/cook, NEVER SIT IDLE unless they tell you to. Don't be afraid to ask questions. And listen to the answers. Even...

    Is it normal to be nervous?

    Yup. I work mostly weekend nights (paid on call volunteer). Each night at the station as I am going to sleep, I run through a different portion of the training that I have had to mentally brush up on whatever call may come at O-dark thirty. Running through my pharmacolgy has paid off 2x now...

    Do you have a nickname?

    Lately. it has remained "White Cloud". My clinical rides were the birth of that. 100+ hrs of sitting at the stations for 5 contacts. Now that I am actually working as an EMT...it has carried over. More nights than not, my presence allows the medics to get a full night's sleep. Back in the...

    Ever dropped a patient?

    Came REAL close Sat morning. PT was in basement after falling down stairs. We had him backboarded, my Medic had the head, I had the feet. We started up the stairs, me lifting the feet about shoulder height to try to keep PT level. Medic caught his boot heel on the step going up and stumbled...

    I'm just happy I don't have to haul my gear around in my trunk anymore. Messaging system? Hell, we actually used to talk to the people we needed to instead of messaging them. (Cell phones weren't around back then either. Yeah, I'm that old).
