SEVEN Pages and NOW someone decides to mention Murphy? WTF is wrong with you people? He should have been mentioned back around posting #3...

I didn't see Central Emergency Services; they cover the Soldotna area and are a combo of paid/volly. They tend to be a little more active. http://www.cesfire.org/

medic484, I responded to your PM. I take Malarone when in Africa, but YMMV as per what may be best for you.

Just a quick expansion on this and re-reviewing your initial post. You should have every member of your crew fill out a crew survey regarding meds, allergies, etc. so you have a quick reference in case no one can provide that info. The IMO requirements are a CYA and, after you've filled...

Look at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and see what the MINIMAL requirements are for a first aid kit for a vessel of your size, and crew, and build on that.

As a paramedic, you should be operating beneath a physician sponsor of some sort. As a paramedic who works a lot in Africa, this is the way I perform my job- just like in the US. I would ask the company/organization for whom you will be working for about this. And make sure you take your...

Tom, Overall list looks really good. I would like to suggest that you also add Doxycycline or Malarone to your list for an anti-malarial. I like these due to the fact that you don't have to 'load up' on them for weeks, like you would for Mefloquine, etc. If you decide to go with Doxy, I...

I don't see why you don't just contact Ronin and ask them- that's free. If they send you any correspondence that states that you will qualify for the UK certification and the UK states otherwise, they've committed fraud. On the international scope, your 'English-speaking countries' are...

If you're looking for remote/offshore medicine, you'll need your paramedic to be considered for about 99% of the jobs out there. If you're looking for a Middle East contract, the majority of jobs that allow for an Intermediate are tactical jobs (for the most part) so you would need to get a...

HPV is more highly suggested for women due to the increased risk of cervical cancer in women. However, men can get it as well and it also puts them at risk for various genital, oropharynx and throat cancers. Tb: The only approved vaccination at this point is the BCG; others are out there...

The SAM patient log thingy that is erasable and you can velcro to your leg always looked cool, I thought. Saves you from remembering not to throw your gloves away while doing report. http://www.sammedical.com/sam_onscene.html Or a bunch of pens; mine were always being stolen.

It could be for chest hair...?

Sorry, it's Polio outside the US. As a childhood vac, it's Diptheria, Pertussis, Polio, Tetanus until you're an adult, and then it's without the Pertussis. Right now I'm in Norway, but I work all over.

Yellow Fever(10year) Hep A & B (25 years-lifetime, depending on who you reference) MMR (childhood; 2 vaccinations before 18yo usually, but some only get one) DPT(Polio)(10years), and Typhoid(3 years) I would say are minimums. If you're outside the states, I'd also recommend the BCG for Tb...

Check your PMs.

Question everything, even your text. Especially if it doesn't make sense to you. You'd be surprised how many people just sit there and smile and nod at crap given to them as if it was the Gospel. For example, when I went through, we found numerous incorrect statements in our text. It will...

Coors... If you like gambling, you could head up to Black Hawk/Central City.

Yeah, I'd keep confusing people with my Non-rebreather looking title
