Just an update...Baby was ruled a SIDS case. The family took him off life support yesterday morning...thanks for letting me vent

Rough call today...wanted to vent a little bit and I knew I could count on you guys. Taking a nap when my husband comes in and says dispatch is asking for a First Responder....call happened to be maybe 2 blocks from my house. I go en route and they give me the details of the call. 3 month old...

Congrats!!!!! I'm not far behind you...I'm due in 6 weeks.....I can't wait!

Yes I can respond as an EMT and do some things without the rig there. Jafo.....yes you are correct. I am sorry if I confused everyone. Around here if you are responding as medical personall before the rig gets there you are reffered to as a First Responder. Hope this straightens things out.

Rescuecpt...... Our Fire Dept does not have EMT's...I think there are only maybe 3 or 4 of us that are EMT's. I am not currently working due to my pregnancy ( I am 8 weeks away from my due date) The county in which I live can not take the laibility...which i can understand. I do however...

Our small county has just recently (within the last year) Started utilizing MFR's./ We only run one county owned ambulance and it helps cut down response times. We have response times up to 20 minutes depending on which end of the county you live in. I personally like FR as long as they know...

Southeast Tn here...born and raised within 60 miles of where I currently live. I moved from a moderate sized city to a very rural county 4 years ago. I love where I am...still the kind of place where everybody knows everybody and you can sleep with your doors unlocked! :D

I really don't like snakes, but I can't stand to have to touch someones feet!! All feet are gross. When I got married, I had to take a Valium just to go get a pedicure, even then it still made me sick to my stomache. I also hate eyeballs!! I was in the back of the rig one time and the Medic was...

I too am 6 months pregnant. I am a volunteer as well but have the oppurtunity to fill in at my local ambulance service from time to time. I found out I was expecting while in EMT school. Clinicals were tough as well as national registry because of the morning sickness and growong belly. I made...

Around here if I wasn't being harrassed I would think they didn't like me. But I do let them know if they cross the line and they know when enough is enough. EMS is not a business where you can be overly sensitive as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks everyone!! I'll need all the smiles and congrats i can get...I'll be the big 3-0 tomorrow.....YIKES!! Happy Bday to everyone else who is celebrating. ;)

I finally got my grades today! WOOHOOO!!! I passed.....now just have to wait to take National registry, which I will do in mid January!! Wasn't sure there for awhile if I would make it or not. I was lucky enough to be accepted to an accelerated program. I got my EMT IV in about 13 weeks...

I couldn't imagine being with anyone that wasn't in the business. My husband has been around longer than me, so it makes it easier to talk to him and he understands. It is nice to work a bad MVA or code and be able to pick up the phone and talk about it. It helps us both stay sane ....so to...

Another rule of the Rig: Don't tell me your afraid of blood/needles and then fake passing out. Your acting sucks and I will laugh at you!!!

Guess I am just "old school"...lol. I do everything at my house. cooking, cleaning, Laundry, all the grocery shopping etc. PLus go to school and take care of the kids. My husband always tells everyone he "has it made". I was raised this way and I just have never deviated from it. I know I...

I agree Firechic!! Any man who will and can cook, clean and do laundry is always better lookin than any guy on that calendar!!!!!LOL :D

Hey all...I am looking for an animated Star of life or ambulance pic to download. I am doing an EMS awareness program at the elementary school and would like to hand out a coloring sheet... Any help would be appreciated!!

Thought I would pass this website on to all the ladies in the group! It has no educational content ..just nice to look at.....ENJOY!!! www.firemenscalendar.com
