    I have 2 cents!!! (As if no one thought I would...) Whether we all have freedom of speech or opinion, IN MY OPINION, is not the argument here.

    SHOCK.... help

    can you say OVERKILL chilren'? I KNEW that you could!! Man that question can be answered in a sentence: "All I need to know about shock is that capillaries and veins constrict, shunting blood to the most appropriate organs, dropping the BP and increasing the HR; the brain and heart are always...

    What do I do?

    Heres how it works in NC: You're allowed if you concede to do it and dont get caught. We had a HUGE thing here last year because one of the hospitals was allowing medic students and EMT-I and P employees to push meds that were outside thier scope. Some refused to do it and according to NC...

    In Your Opinon....

    I agree with everyone else, especially that the SO acted like an ***, however, you have to look at it from his standpoint too, now Im just assuming, but, if that female was unconscious and your brother was found in the backseat, he had no idea who the driver was. Perhaps he was just leaning on...

    I.C.E. Shirts

    Of Course this is all supposition. I think it may be a good idea, I mean I know I would never go through someones cell phone, but I think its reasonable for ED staff when in a calmer situation. If this whole campaign were to come to fruition, I would support it because I think its a good idea...

    CPR for Kids???

    Really, thank the lord for EMD. We had a 31 yo female code and her 9 and 11 year old were able to do CPR until we got there under the instruction of the dispatcher reading the EMD card. It was great. Mom still died (entirely TOO MUCH coke) but she had a much better chance than if the kids...
