    things you will never live down

    I was doing third rides with a fire station. The guy was drunk in an attempt to self-manage his drinking. He was pissed because we couldn't get a line on him (he had a port) and refused to talk to us for half the trip besides telling us he needed to pee. He decided to yell in the ER that he...

    Does Your Service Provide Stethoscope In The Box?

    We offer 2 cheap ones and usually the one in the airway bag doesn't have ear tips. I can't hear with them and usually bring my own. In my EMS rig, we have about 4 stashed in various places.

    What is the most efficient way to EMT-P for a college grad?

    Anybody else have a messed up test question on the NREMT-B. It went along the lines of... ... Male patient 65 years-old.... A. Blah blah B. Blah blah. C. Blah help her blah D. Blah Blah Yes, it changed the gender in one of the answers. It was kind of amusing and I had to reread it...

    Backboarding

    I did a quick search and I've done a few searches on the web. I am a medic student and I am taking my class out of state due to the cost and the fact that I'd need a license from that state anyway to work at the place I want to work at after I am done. It's forty minutes away and it's 4,500...
