LOL. I said that last night to a Pt. My Partner told the Pt "See we do have a clue of what we're doing" and I said, "Well, at least we stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night."

o...ok...I took my Basic in Allentown at LCCC.

I take a bit of everything... I always start with the dispatch info, how I found the Pt upon arriving (sitting, standing, supine, etc) and there CAO level (with an explanation if it is not CAO x3 or 4) Then my HPI [history of present illness]: this everything that is said from bystanders...

Good Luck...

Holy crap. if it was not bad enough that he fell then to get hit by a train. I once heard a story from an old roommate of mine: this guy got hit by a car on an overpass of a major, busy street and he fell to highway below, where he got hit again. I believe he was alive when EMS arrived...It...

Last night, It was a medical alarm to find no one home, but the place was in complete squalid. the only residents we saw were abused, malnourished kittens. we gave them water and they drink feverishly. there was no cat food or litter box. the kittens were using the bathroom as a litter box. but...

I was not disagreeing with you about the "looking down" on Basics. I respect them and enjoy working with them. I was a Basic once. Hell, I was even a 1st responder and I have never forgotten that. I remember where I came from. I try and talk with new Basics (or I's or even new medics) as often...

Well, let me start with my experience in New Hampshire. NH is primarily FD based EMS and the more back woods you go the more volly it becomes. The 2 biggest cities (Manchester & Nashua) are run by Rockingham Ambulance (A private but Hospital owned agency) At Rockingham you get your normal city...

Some areas don't have ALS. In a tiered system a standard MVC is dispatched at a Basic level. If we all recall from our Basic class practice scenarios, when we call for ALS back up, they hit a tree, hit a moose, get a flat tire, but never show up. So ALS is NOT always possible. We all have...

DARWIN award contestant. Do we not remember the old adage "Look Before You Leap" Yeah, I understand it was night, but if there is a concrete barrier separating a highway on a bridge one would think you would look for the ground before jumping over. It is great he wanted to...

I took my Basic in PA. I did not go to any EMS camp. But after I took my test I needed to wait for the mail. It wasn't too long of a wait. It may have been mentioned, but I may have missed it...and I'm curious... 1)How old are you? 2)Where in PA is this boot camp? Every Service I have...

So let us look at his for 1 more minute. So these parents who later accused MJ of molesting their children, allow their children to hang out with a grown man. And where were these parents when they were letting their kids sleep over MJ's house? How did they not think let my kid sleep with a 40...

I agree completely. I am not sure anymore with all the BS reports the news are putting out, but I thought he was down for a significant amount of time before the 911 call and medics on scene. IF this is the case and the pt was done for a significant amount of time, even if CPR was being done...

Yeah, tell me about it. I do miss most of those guys...I miss the ones that did not break the law...

http://www.buffalonews.com/home/story/715521.html And I used to work at that Metro... this idiot started after I left but the moron Anthony "tony" Murphy mentioned at the end was there before I left and was a freaking idiot. It seems that things went deeper into hell after I left.

oh no.. I have all of EMS books...from 1st responder to my 2 tons of medic books. I recommend keeping your books for future reference. I am looking for a more compact refresher thing

1 of my partners worked throughout her entire pregnancy. I think went on leave 1 or 2 weeks before the due date. Every shift I worked with her towards the end of her pregnancy I brought my catcher's glove. Any time she went "OW" then grabbed her belly, I got a little nervous. And worse when...

Hello all, Does anyone know of free on line practice medic tests or quick refresher pages? A web page to help us brush up on things we may have forgotten do to never using since medic school.

If the jump seat is close enuff...sit...why not... Are we sure this is actually him? it really doesn't have enuff detail to confirm it is him. It is most likely a fake. But if it is real, that was 1 lucky shot. You can tell it was supposed to be from the outside...
