See I didn't know that. very interesting.

Well I would like to start with response times. ours really sucks. I live in an area where it takes 10 to 30 mins to get to some of our patients anyway without adding our 7 min response time.

I heard that checking the blood sugar with venous blood can give you inacurate readings. I don't know for sure. I have had a chance to research it.

I work as a phlebotomist at the hospital so I get plenty of practice with hard stick patients. I still find starting I.Vs a lot harder. I would always want to hold the needle at an angle and go straight in. Not a good thing with I.Vs.

I don't want to get burned out but I don't want to see our work go up in flames. People have worked hard to get this place started. Why should we just let it die.

I need some advice. I am so confused and at this point I really don't know what to do. As I said before I volunteer at my local rescue squad. Well I love that rescue squad and all but there is this one person I can't stand. He is my ex and he is set on making my life miserable. I don't want to...

Finally, the weather is getting cold again.

Well I know we have some private ambulance services around here. They pretty much just do transport. So I wasn't for sure.
