LMAO!!!! I call that job security..... Wow and people in Canada call Saskatchewan hillbillies... Ugh....

Bahaha!!! You mean we stop working in bad weather?!?!?! I work in the border city in Canada and I can say snow or not we're hitting the road. The only way we don't is if the Highways get closed due to a blizzard.... (but if its an accident leaving somone in the snow we're on that highway no...

Here in Lloydminster, Alberta/Saskatchewan (Canada) our drug problem is cocain. Ah the drug of choice such a wonderful thing haveing a 200 pound man freaking out. I have only heard of "dips" we have yet to deal with that here, thank goodness.

Wow I'm actually surprised to hear that in the States as an EMT you are unable to do Bgl's. Across Canada all EMT's can do Bgl's and give oral glucose, and in Alberta EMT's can give D50W.

ER Doc to Partner and I Prior to transfer... ER Doc goes into Trauma room, comes out with door open pulls off gloves with a :censored::censored::censored::censored: eating grin (pun intended). "Yep just gave Mr.... the best going away gift EVER!!"

what you have to remember to is that it veries from provience to provience. in saskatchewan we go: EMT EMT-A Paramedic EMT is a 6 month course with two praticums, one in the er, and one on the rig. it cost $3,000.00 (not sure what that is in american). the course covers everything from...

all of us on here seem to be able to relate to you. i myself have a similar story but alittle different. i took the emt course here not once but twice. the first time i took it i failed to tell the school that i had learning disabilities. therefore not getting the help i needed. i did...

This prank I was drgged into when I was on my practicum (one car traing) in rural Saskatchewan. The one owner of the station was not on his game this day. He gave his truck keys to my partner and told us to shovel the gravel out of the back of it. We did that like he said but he failed to...

This is a Non-Howedy!!

Welcome to the group!!! I'm some what new too and trust me you're in the right place to learn :D

I was very young when Canada changed the one dollar bill to the loonie. Trust me having it as a coin makes it alot easier to spend the stupid thing, not to mention more change in your pocket, they also took the two dollar bill and turned it into the twoonie. Now that's annoying, I think wallets...

way to go!!! congrats!!!

i would have to agree with you on that one that sh*t is addicting. we have it here in canada but they are always sold out when i go to get it :wacko:

i'll make sure that doesn't happen, but if you guys/gals did i would know i was in good hands ^_^

hey every one thanks for all the "congrat". the arm is coming along slowly, but i can pick up a coffee cup now. it seems little but i almost threw a party, i really feel for the people we help now knowing what it's like to need help myself. hmmm.... breaking a leg to make captain... i think...

better then life savers.... koolaid. same as lifes saver step 1. take off shower head 2. put koolaid in shower head (prefferance blue) 3. place shower head back on 4. wait till partner comes out and call him/her a smerf. it works every time :lol:

hey there every body!! i haven't been on lately due to braking my arm. i was getting out of my car walked to the front of it and hit a huge ice patch. i slipped hit the hood of my car and then landed hard on the ice. the doc thinks i broke my arm with my head cause all i could think of when i...

Here's a question I always get asked and I thought it would be a great question for all of you people on here. What made you or what incident made you want to be a medic?? I'll share mine, I was 16y/o and my friends and I was stopped at a red light when all of the sudden a male on a motor...

Okay now i get it. It's like here curtain stations here will develope their own exam and require you to pass it with an 80%. The one thing I disagree with here is that they lowered the passing grade for the PCP course when I took it they required you to have an 80% and now they only ask that you...

Wow its really is different there. A PCP or as you know it EMT-B needs to be able to do what your EMT-I needs to know for the states. It's crazy to think that anyone with $$ can walk into being and EMT there. The course I took here was a year long and it took alot out of me, it didn't help that...
