Excellent point indeed... Not to mention, how drunk was she? Drunk enough to reduce her ability to remember or comprehend what really may have happened....

Here is how I try to do it. I work 24 hours on, 24 off three days and then 4 days off just like most other folks do. I only work ot on the 48 hour weeks. I also have an agreement with my wife that I will only work ot 2 weeks a month and never weekends. Another trick I try to do is work a 36 hour...

I guess we are old fashioned out here. We get paged with a street address and a map grid #, actually look it up in a map book if we do not know where we are going, and then tell partner L or R turns till we get there. Its amazing how well it works...

I can understand some of how you feel. It does seem like if a person does not respond to each and every post, even when they really don't have anything to say really, that others like them don't acknowledge a response by some who are choosy as to what topic they respond to. I have noticed this...

Is it an original or just a copy??B)

I love a good generalized statement.... :rolleyes: Now we must bow down to the ever calm CCP... With awe and reverance. B) I do not remember FFEMT ever saying anything about panick, just wanted some opinions.

Nothing more needs to be said....

I would do whatever my wife told me to do... :blush:

40 rigs running in the city of how many people? I have been to Philly often but do not have any idea how many live there. Just want to compare to our 7 during the day and 5 at night for approx 200,000 folks.

Thankyou all for the well wishes. Our nurse was laid to rest yesterday. She recieved a full EMS type escort. I just wanted to point out one thing. If the ambulance actually rear ended the 18 wheeler, why do you think the front end is so pulled away from the box? My experience tells me the...

That is halarious!!!

We were not allowed help during practicals here. You could voice that you would have a pertner do certain things, but past that it was all on your own...

Welcome!!!!

Thats awesome!!! I needed the laugh!!!!!

My first call as a Basic was on a third ride. I do not remember exactly what order they were in but the day consisted of motorcycle versus car, ped vs train, suicidal/homicidal OD, etc. The first call I ever ran by myself with only a first responder to help was a 12 yr old on a 4 wheeler, lost...

Started out as a FF, found out its mostly medical runs, applied to an ambulance company, been doing it since.

Terrible day for my company. Allthough 2 co-workers survived, one did not. Here is one link http://www.emsnetwork.org/artman/publish/article_21873.shtml. If anyone would like to have a live view go to Channel 4 news Denver for the video. My thoughts and prayers for the families involved.

We could argue the importance, or lack of, Basics and Intermediates have in EMS all day long and never fully come to any agreement. I think the only comment I have is this, no matter what your training level is, if you are working in a system you better be ready to run a 911 call/ pt care. I...

If I stop, I call 911, give a proffesional scene sizeup. Never do I identify myself as an individual in EMS. The most I have ever had to do was try and calm people down, stop bleeding, and hold c-spine. I dont carry enough wacker gear to anything past that.

He may still be able to be a Paramedic, just not work as one...
