Deer through the windshield, entrapment, with multiple injuries in 11 degree weather. I HATE WINTER!

Wow, That is a first for me. DHS using a forum to reach people. Good idea.

It is the realization that we are human. We try our best to do good. We loose some. We save some.

Around here the pay for those positions are comparable

Thanks

A Lot depends on the insurance carrier. I have seen people get cut for 3 speeding tickets. I have also seen people on the service driving with three DUIs. I think it depends on the service and how liberal the insurance underwriter is.

I have not worn safety glasses on the job before (yeah like since 1987) Ok so I am reading some of the threads here and I see that it is one of the must haves in the field. I am looking at the ICE Naro Eyeshields. Has anyone tried them and if so are they worth the money?

We have tried several and they just don't seem to be standing up to the vibrations here. I wondered if there is a better option. Currently we have one made by Thomas EMS.

I was just curious as to how many services are moving away from backboards all together? Here in Iowa we are working on continued protocols whereas it greatly limits the use of backboards.

I think part of the answer is that there were a lot of volunteer services that can't keep personnel, and/or keep up with the con ed. I know we are going regional based ems up here and that has impacted the numbers of services significantly.

What on earth is camp hematoma?

It builds compassion.

COPD patient with a coughing Fit and Brochiospams. Who after calming down...Refuses transport

I am just curious I live in Iowa and here we are considered certified. This makes some distinction for RNs who are licensed to think that because we are certified we are to always be working under their authority. It makes me curious if there are other States that are considered Licensed.
