This was the start of my day today, my first day working as a medic with an EMT (rather than another medic...just "released" from the FTO). We had a quiet morning up until a little after 11. Then this call came in as an "unknown problem" call with a woman screaming that something was wrong...

I did the tests on July 20th and I'm supposed to start on August 17th...I'm excited!! I'm going to work part time at Grady and remain at my full time EMS job for now, until we can afford to move to Atlanta. Or I might do Grady full time after the beginning of the year and work part time at my...

I will be taking ACLS in March and PALS in May. What's the best way to prepare? I will have (free) access to the study guide before the class, but I'm not sure when that will be provided. It's a 2 day class through the hospital (where I work), which means it's free for me to take and I get...
