Caught early, SPO2 started heading down about 2 hours later and there was an increase in Troponin I. Interesting was the early onset of chest band tightness and "muscular discomfort" between shoulder blades that could be changed with movement/resp.

Not checked

For your consideration... Post thrombectomy ;)

Breath sounds were unremarkable... All clear.

In Seattle, EMS Ambulances are primarily AMR and are Basic Life Support. Seattle Fire has a contract with AMR. The Seattle FD ambulances (Aid Cars, noted by A and rig number) are Basic Life Support and staffed by Seattle Fire Fighters. The Seattle Medic One vehicles (noted by M and rig...

Well, for the fun job, we pay people to ski, they get to throw bombs, and we're a first in, primarily trauma agency, but it is still getting competitive. Local ambulance companies are in to the $20/hour+ with up to 6k bonuses. It's getting crazy out there...

Already started, shifting from Senior Medic to Medic on a WMD response team, and have some really big things in progress... 2020 should be a bang of a year!

IIRC, you can still enlist in the Army as an E-4 if you have your NREMT cert...

There is a much larger difference between PJs and medevac, firstly that the one is medevac and the other isn't... Now onto the rest, while the medevac helicopter is not armed the crew most definitely is if they are flying in a combat theater. Yes, standing orders were that medevac has an...

Again, not quite accurate... Shooting back in such situations is defensive. As a military medic, you are assigned a weapon for defense of yourself and your patient. ;) Care to correct?
