I think I would rather lick KY than Viscous Lidocane or Nitro. Paste which I have seen some really brain dead EMTs in our service use. I think they left there heads at home that day. And they wondered why they didnt feel so good after coating the steering wheel and door handles with nitro...
What we hear over the radio, AMR 204 respond such and such addy on a 24 year old with an OB emergency. Upon arrival we find mom laying on the bathroom floor with baby half way out and breech. When we asked mom how far along she was she stated she was 17 1/2 weeks along. After much coaching...
Not to go against what you want to do, change your name and all, but I dont see what is so wrong with your name now. Durstin, thats not bad at all could be a lot worse!!
Not that this is good for you but I have found the best thing to get in between calls is Chicken Nuggets from McDonalds. This is the one thing I have found that will keep, seems how I work for a very busy service and we ALWAYS get interrupted. Also they are easy to pop in your mouth before you...
I work for the same service in Kansas as the stolen ambulance was taken from and we require here in Topeka that the ambulance stay running at all times unless parked in the bay. We also are not required to have a crew member with the truck at all times. The only requirements are that the truck...
The service I work for here in Topeka, Kansas (not to name any names) is a private ambulance company. We work the 24 on 24 off 24 on 24 off 24 on 4 days off. I love it!!!!! It is so nice to have the 4 days in a row off. The only down side to this is you do have a lot of overtime at least...
Not really a prank but a good learning lesson....We had to be straped to a board with c-collar and headbead and then be put on the cot thrown in the back of the truck and then driven around the back country roads making sure that every bump a sharp curve was taken. This was a great tool for...
Oh that was great!!! Gave me the extra boost I needed to get through the hoidays and not have to commit myself because I am going more crazy than my patients. Now when I am driving down the road at 3 o'clock in the morning to go to yet another, you should have called a taxi, call I can sing...
I think we all get a good feeling inside of us when we are in our personal vehicles and we see a fire engine or ambulance roll by us running hot with lights and sirens but wow!!! can we say psycho!! That is going a bit over the edge there.
See, nothing to stress about!! You knew you could do it. But if it is anything like my boards, we took the written and practicals the same day. We knew that day if we pass/fail the practicals and then the written was graded and the result was mailed to us in about 2 weeks. Good luck on that...
I think we would all have to agree that the 1st year is such an eye opener!! You will see things that you have never in your wildest dreams imagined. You will be amazed at the way people live behind closed doors. :o And once you finally decide you have seen it all, BAM something else comes...
