There likely won't be internet access. But why should I?

This is serious stuff. I have been contemplating this for so long. There is a guy, named Richard Proenneke who lived in the remote wilderness of Alaska for 30 years surviving off nature on his own. If he can do it, so can I.

I don't want to be alone for life watching loved ones and close friends of mine get married and have children of their own. I don't want to expose myself to that. It's depressing. I will not find what I am looking for and I don't want to feel like I am comparing myself to people. My life right...

I am at least glad to hear this from someone who works in Alaska. Such a shame there aren't more paid opportunities.

So, I decided since I am going to be single for life (as I have set my standards too high) and I don't like civilization, I am resorting to living in the remote forests of Alaska, living on nature. I mean hey, I can be one of the only guys on earth who can say he never had a significant...

It is rural Tennessee interstate, usually between the hours of 0100-0400

I often hit 90-95 mph on the interstate transporting out of town 10-33 traffic

EMS personnel are payed better out west than in the southeast. However, the cost of living out west is more expensive than that in the south. So is the pay and cost of living ratio equivalent of that in the south?

No, they JUST implemented it. I was licensed as an Advanced EMT in Colorado by January of 2015. But AEMT certification is essentially the same as EMT-B w/ IV and ECG. The only main difference is that I can start IO's. That's pretty much it. I/99 is far more advanced than AEMT ironically, and...

I am an Advanced EMT, and IV and ECG interpretation skills were incorporated into the course.

I am an Advanced EMT in the State of Colorado. I also took my class in Colorado too. IV and ECG Interpretation were incorporated into the course. I have over a year's worth of experience as an AEMT in Tennessee, if you combine both convalescent and ALS/911 experience. But with ALS/911 in itself...

I thought about working with Denver Health or UC EMS or something like that

My income is strapped right now, of course I am trying to build an income at age 21. All the counties I have inquired about do not hire full time EMTs immediately. Some require you to work part time until a position becomes available (first come first serve) and some don't even hire EMTs full...

The narcan was not effective on the pt and he was still sating in the mid 60%s. We attempted to intubate him but he was clinching his teeth even with the Versed we gave him. We just inserted an npa and used a bvm

Most EMTs and medics in my county's EMS department use radio straps. I thought about getting one too. Are they beneficial or are they more of a hassle?

Who would wildlife officers be on a medical call? That confused me.

We were called out for an unconscious pt in respiratory depression and OD. The scene was actually at our station. The neighborhood security enforcement (fully sworn and acting law enforcement) and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (wildlife cops) were already on scene. Responding with us...

She was 16 at the time and I was 20. She was of age of consent. So the sex in itself was not illegal, it was the unwanted romantic gestures that transpired after that was (because she did not want a relationship)

Listen, I work in EMS too. I am just bringing forth some valid points that I have observed myself. See, we portray a certain image to the public. The public sees us as heroes and part of the public safety realm of work. Don't get me wrong, many of the EMT's and medics I have worked with have...
