Best case scenario had a woman who thought she was a dog walking around on all 4's. A little versed, 12 lead, 02, and supportive care did her good. I've also had a 17 year old that did k2 was unresponsive and presented as stroke. RSI, 12 lead, two IV's, and rapid transport. Ended up having a...

^^^^This! If we get in a hurry or lose our focus there isn't a 912 to back us up. Everything comes with time and no matter how much time you have we would all be liars if we said that something like this couldn't happen to anyone on this forum. I've seen a 31 year guy catch himself getting...

I know a few people that work for them. They are not a high volume CCT transport company from my understanding though they do get some.

1. I'm third generation. I always tried to do something else yet here I sit at the fire station proud to be here and never been happier. 2. I left a six figure potential job in the travel industry to do this. 3. I do feel that this job is meaningful! Whether for others or just to find out...

We've got DNR bracelets, papers, and even tattoo's. I was told from day one DNR doesn't stand for Do Nothing Right now. In Texas it limits typical resuscitation efforts ie. intubation, compressions, meds... There are also DNR's here that may be compression only etc. I think the majority of...

For us we either work them and call them at home depending on circumstances or transport. I could only imagine my chiefs face if I came back to the station!

EMT-B 50 something questions and passed 5+ years ago. EMT-P 77 questions and passed.

Hey man are you specifically in Dallas? Sounds like a lot of companies out there. If you're ever looking for something else I know a company that I work for part time that is always looking for new EMT's and Paramedics. New equipment, nice uniforms, no dialysis or shady calls, decent pay, and...

If you're strictly looking for EMS my top three suggestions would be Medstar, Wise County EMS, or Cooke County EMS. I have friends that work at all three and everyone of them are very happy. If you're looking for extremely aggressive or progressive Wise County is your best bet.

It wasn't behavioral. She had an adverse reaction to the antibiotic and propofal. She's still in the hospital but has been downgraded to a PCU bed. It was one of those ones where not much made sense. I also wasn't lead on this particular call, just taken as a third rider as I was riding the...

Her pressure keep fluctuating in the ICU as well she'll go from hypertensive to hypo in the blink of an eye according to the staff. They haven't figured out why it's happening so they're calling in the specialists.

Yes. She was throwing it up and her father changed out the packing and cleaned up everything but the mirror. We gave 1000cc fluid bolus and got her pressure back up. Began getting her to come around before we left for the hospital enough to get info. Pt then went unresponsive again with...

Mine posted in 14 hours and I got my stuff in the mail 3 days later

Oh and you have a Level 2 12 min away or a community hospital 5 min.

Yes completely unresponsive, rides out any painful stimuli you can throw at her. Gauze is still in mouth and no blood is present. There is blood splattered on the mirror in a pattern that suggests vomiting of blood. Airway is patent breathing 14 times a minute. Initial BP 154/98 move her to...

You're dispatched to a hemorrhage. You check in route and dispatched tells you that you're responding to a 25 year old female conscious and breathing. Pt is complaining of blood coming from her mouth. In addition dispatch informs you she had three teeth extracted 6 hours ago. You're met at...

Coming from a system that's able to do reductions I'd feel like too big of an anus to not give them at least a bump of some love juice before I get going.... But that's just my two cents.

Yes ma'am I am. How'd your interview go?

I called their HR today and was told yes on Paramedics but unsure on EMT positions. I submitted my resume, time for a change haha.

My phone doesn't leave the box or engine. I grab the medic phone if I need to make a call.
