    Homework Questiom

    Well I marked the question for a followup and sent an email to my instructor, so this will be answered regardless. If anyone has any other answers in the meantime though, please share.

    Homework Questiom

    Think its that simple? Its closer than anything Ive been able to come up with. I mean aside from the source material, I cant even find a relationship between beta agonists and decrease in HR. Oh by the way the source is http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/296301-treatment#aw2aab6b6b7...

    Homework Questiom

    So Im going through a CCT course and this question pops up Even though inhaled beta agonists cause tachycardia, a common finding with the administration of inhaled beta agonists is a decrease in heart rate; Why? Im stumped and have been for two days

    What should I expect?

    Was just approved for a CCT class and Im just wondering what I should expect in general since obviously every class is going to have its minor differences. Also, is there any additional reading that might help me out aside from textbooks? Also throw in any recommendations you have!

    Critical Care Paramedic: Should this exist?

    Agreed. I partially agree. Granted it wouldn't fix all of the insufficiencies that are out there, it would help advance the field by attempting to have only the upper tier make it in, which is what nursing schools make an attempt to do. I dont know many paramedics who say they don't have any...

    Critical Care Paramedic: Should this exist?

    I think that due to the added degree of difficulty with the CCT, those who don't apply themselves like it were a full on college program and become proficient in at least the schooling for this field would be weeded out prior to even testing to getting a license. Though I do agree with your...

    What can we buy for our station?

    Fantastic lol Well then do you guys ever have public events there? If so maybe buy a BBQ or something so you guys could cook food for events or just go there and hang out. Is there like a living or common area aside from the one in the back?

    Critical Care Paramedic: Should this exist?

    Now depending on the state that you practice in, you may need to take special classes to use vents, pumps and certain drugs. Currently, I practice in Louisiana which is the case. I am a transplant down here though. In Michigan where I initially got my license, I was trained to use pumps and...

    OCD at the station

    All of us but the one person is like the first way. So maybe hes not OCD, just a stubborn donkey? That last one might work, but I think the easiest fix might be supervision at this point. New Question: Anyone ever tried giving the person a taste of their own medicine? If so, how did...

    OCD at the station

    To quote, I have no problem with "Als" in EMS. He would fall under the good type of OCD. But the person Im talking about doesn't do the things that "Al" would. In all honesty, he almost does the opposite. He is OCD about the things that suit him and if he doesn't like it, it is undone or...

    What can we buy for our station?

    Since you are volunteer, how about turn the back meeting room area into more of a classroom? That way all of you could meet up and do CE's, people could hold classes for refreshers and such. So if I were doing that, I would get of course tables and chairs, and if you already have them, why not...

    What can we buy for our station?

    Is this like a station where only one ambulance operates out of or is this more of a hub station where multiple crews and trucks will be at?

    Want some feedback on a dog

    Oh no I wouldnt leave him crated! If I did I would most likely put up a baby gate between the kitchen and living room and let them have the kitchen. That was another thing I was thinking about, getting a sitter service I can either bring my dog to or have someone come and be with it for at...
