    CHF with low BP

    I had a nurse at a pediatric hospital come unglued at me for giving an asthmatic 10 year old duonebs. "He has an allergy to peanuts, no wonder his wheezing didn't resolve!" "No...his wheezing didn't resolve because he's status asthmaticus and I probably should'be pulled the trigger on the...

    Fluid suspension system

We've got them on all our new trucks and it's a night and day difference. The ride all around is smoother but the...

    Wearing bunker/turnout pants?

    Sounds like your agency doesn't have a very good relationship with your corresponding agencies. If a fire crew blocked us from entering a vehicle to provide patient care it wouldn't end well for that fire officer unless there was an immediate threat to our lives. We provide medical care so...
