Being a tech nerd(and part time-ish EMT)I’m wondering what you full time providers think the benefits to artificial intelligence and machine learning are in the EMS fields. I think huge advancements can be made with artificial intelligence and “common issues” that emt’s and paramedics run into...

As an EMT-B I have come to realize proper BVM use, is one of the most important things I can learn. I can generally get a good seal, due to my mammoth hands, and know my proper vent intervals ect. However, I've heard of things like "Sellick’s maneuver" being tossed around by other people, and i...

The reason...

Has anybody ever worked for the Civilian side of our military. I know places like Ft. Drum hire paramedics, and RN's. Would they work in a VA clinic? I'm not sure why they would need a paramedic when they have their own medics on base. Especially a place like Ft. Drum with SF(10th Mountain...
