Alright, this is a very broad question, but I just want a little bit of insight. Recently a buddy of mine has been promoted with his company and is transferring to Texas, he's trying to get me to move with him. Now, things at my company aren't the greatest, and so I'm considering a change of...

I realize we've had a decent amount of discussion around fentanyl recently, but here's something that's been bothering me for the past couple of days. I vaguely remember hearing at one point that fentanyl can be used in the treatment of acute pulmonary edema (APE). While researching on the...

I'm just wondering if anybody here can tell me a little bit more about living in Massachusetts (laws, weather, economy, EMS system, etc.). I'm thinking about moving there in about a year and was just wondering what it's like. I'm also trying to decide between doing the medic program at the...

Just saw a trailer for a new NBC series called Trauma last night. It doesn't look like it's going to be horrible, but we'll have to wait and see. What do you guys think? http://www.nbc.com/trauma/

Hey guys, I'm new and just figured I'd make a quick intro. I'm Nathan, I'm 19 and I just got my EMT-B cert. last weekend. I'm pursuing a career as a firefighter/paramedic and I'm really excited to get into the EMS field. In my spare time I enjoy working on my cars and shooting trap and sporting...
