This, coupled with the fact interest rates on used vehicles typically aren't great compared to what one can get with great credit on a new car loan. I just purchased a new Subaru Legacy last month, and when comparing new vs. used I really wasn't going to save any money and got a much better...

Will do, thanks for the advice!

Laparoscopic inguinal and umbilical hernia surgery tomorrow at Hopkins :( 15+ years of lifting in Fire/EMS and now they come out with power stretcher's :confused:. Hoping to have a solid recovery and no long lasting issues like a few buddies at the gym.

I retake the exam every 4 years because I am a freak, and like to see what kinda updates to the exam there are. That being said I am practicing in critical care. The main reason I chose to just retest is retesting vs. recerting by con-ed are roughly the same price, and with con-ed you have to...

Sounds like it may have broken up in flight for some reason around 14,000 feet. If you're gonna go not seeing it coming or having time to think much about it is how I would want to go. RIP.

Sure, and I agree. I would be curious as to “what wasn’t working out”. I would imagine at only 2 months in at most HEMS companies you’re likely still on orientation. So was he just not cutting the mustard, or was it something else?

The better question is why would he even want to go back to a place like that? No thanks.

Damn really sad and terrible for his family and friends right before the holidays, and so so young. Rest easy friend. Thoughts and prayers to the family. Ya just never know when it's your time. Any news on a cause? So so young it's scary.

If we all had VFlutter's money we could burn our's for heat...... He likes all that First Spear expensive type stuff :)

Journal of Special Operations Medicine, how is that?

Will have to check out the New Yorker. I could use some culture and manners :) Nat Geo Travler has also been something I have been wanting to check out. Have gotten big into backpacking, and in the process of planning a 5 day backwoods trip to Yellowstone and surrounding areas. I want to...

Beanpole lol

If you’re 5’6” male and you’re into bodybuilding and weigh 200lbs then you’re a god damn beefcake monster. I have a gym buddy who is pretty damn huge and rep’s incline press 315 and he’s 5’11” and 196lbs. Regardless of whatever system you use there are limitations and flaws, but I think BMI in...

Sure, this is common all through the industry, but with BMI restrictions you would still be restricting weight, and more appropriately. If you had a cut off of say BMI less than 30, there's no way a guy who is 280lbs is going to make it into an aircraft because his BMI would be much higher then...

Really? I don't think I have yet seen a FP posting on the east coast that hasn't listed the duty weight/and or height restrictions if they have any. Both my current and previous employer made it very clear in the posting. Sorry you jumped through hoops not knowing, that sucks. I wish most places...

Anyone here subscribe to any decent magazines that are worth it? Can be EMS related on not. I enjoy reading actual copies of magazines vs. digital or Podcast, and currently get EMSWorld, Vertical 911, and Backpacker. Anyone get anything else they enjoy?

I live close, and we have one of our new ground units on display so I'm sure I will be down for a day or two to pop around the exhibit hall. I don't normally attend alot of the lectures but it does look like a good line-up this year. National Harbor is a pretty awesome area to hang out in, tons...

Treat as an adult with adult doses and equipment. Green is for 34kgs and above.

Yeah the American Academy of Pediatrics will only allow RN, MD, RRT instructors for NRP. No medics.

Yeah wait til you get on at a service. A lot of them require it, some don’t. They may provide it or have in house instructors.
