    What is your favorite?

    Dang Covid, I got started playing Battle Tanks-Legends of WWII, then got hooked (again) playing Tank Force. I cut my teeth on turn games and flying games, but playing with real live people all around the world is much more challenging than duelling with bots! Real people are so much more...

    Picky about the ambulance I drive( random vent)

    Not even a cup of coffee until my unit was fully checked out and stocked. Minimum standards were fine, but I always had plenty of Kerlix and cardboard or inflatable splints, suction catheters over and above the bare minimum (we did a lot of TCs.) Ditto for the BVM, our cots were Model-30s, not a...

    What is your favorite?

    MMO looks like fun. I enjoy playing tank games long into the night after my day is put to bed and I'm still up late at night. Play with people all over the world, hunting tanks over the hilltops and hiding in the ruts. No matter the late hour, there are always plenty of others out there who are...

    Wow, you must have spent all morning on that novella. Don't you have an ambulance parked in the bay that needs your attention?

    Community effort - a win all around

    Ahem, Parasite, lies are like parasites that worm their way into your head. You can dress up the lie in faded "parchment" but that old saw is a tired old thing, repeated many many times, over and over, into sheer banality. I probably said it when you were still a schoolboy. And you have...

    Community effort - a win all around

    So, if everything's a lie on the internet. 1/2 of your online training is simply BS and this whole forum is a pack of lies by definition. Truth is eternal, lies are fickle. I'll take the truth, straight up and eternally true, and you keep your negative outlook and believe your lies.

    Thoughts on being a Medic/RN

    Hey, Doctor's! Haven't seen that name in decades, Bruce was a good guy from the past. If I had it to do it all over, I would choose EMT first then go for RN, 2 year, maybe, but preferably 4 year MSN degree, that's where the big money is these days and you can go on forever from there if you...

    Picky about the ambulance I drive( random vent)

    Hi Victoria, naw, you're not being picky. Who has time to search for the buried BVM in an emergency? It SHOULD be right there, when you need it. Try holding your breath while you dig around for the bag valve mask and see what I mean! I used to say, "This is the best ambulance in the fleet...

    ****ed up and got a ticket for aggressive driving. Am I done for?

    No one wants to hire an aggressive ambulance driver. If you can't handle the simple stress of driving in normal traffic, as has been fully documented, what happens if you're faced with the many aggravating things drivers do when confronted with an ambulance coming up behind them Code-3? For most...

    COVID VACCINE - The Megathread

    Like sheep to the slaughter, no way would I get the vaccine. People say, "Ohhh! If I get a vaccine, I can get my rights back!" Nobody, especially some jive politician or doctor has the right to strip your rights from you. They can take their silly Vaccine Passport and shove it.

    Are EMS providers hated?

    Bully is one of those trigger words designed to elicit a negative response. I'm only replying to you. If you feel bullied, you have no concept of the definition.

    Are EMS providers hated?

    Read it again and UNDERSTAND. I'll give you some help, there were no TED talks or even "online" back in the day, so ya think I'm writing about the HERE AND NOW? Suicides were not as pervasive in the past, but they did occur, it is far worse now.

    EMS and marriage

    Another EMS marriage casualty. After 17 years, she left to go live with some punk kid. Devastating, he fixed diesel engines, I fixed broken people and ended up there myself when she made her choice. Ambulance work is a tough life but isn't the be-all and end-all. Even though I was on-call in my...

    Are EMS providers hated?

    No, the public doesn't hate us. The hate comes from within. We discount each other, we are responding to an OP that is thin and open to conjecture. We, worst of all, hate ourselves, where we came from, and blunder on, not learning the lessons from the past. Yeah, we were even killing ourselves...

    Feel pretty lost

    I'm from the old school, and I sympathize with you. Although our department offered gratis emergency assistance, we poo-pooed it as just another avenue for "them" to "make book" on us. I sincerely wish I had taken advantage of it. Asking for help from a professional would have been a lot better...
