I finally was able to find some prices for the gaumard ones. Looks like the s3000 starts at 25k and goes up from there. I think thats the one that we will go with, assuming we get the grant money we are shooting for

I have looked at some of those, and they definitely do a lot, but I really worry about durability. I think that they have a decent amount of money in the budget for it as they are currently looking at this one https://caehealthcare.com/patient-simulation/ares/ It's about 20k I think, I just...

My department is looking at getting a new mid-fidelity simulation manikin, Naturally, it needs to be capable of all the ALS stuff, but a big concern is durability. Is there anything that anyone is familiar with that they have used and liked? Thanks!

Haha that's true, maybe that was a bit broad. Experienced paramedics who improve from their mistakes and are passionate about what they do save lives. :-) Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

thanks for all the replies guys. I'll level with you, I had a few beers and was feeling pretty down when I wrote that so I apologize if it seemed dramatic. I have a good understanding of what EMS is and isn't, and I know that it's not lifesaving hero work all the time I get that. I think...

I fell in love with EMS when I first started. I loved being in the ambulance, being independent in the field, making life or death decisions and feeling like I accomplished something, Now, Nurses look down at me. Doctors look down at me, All I am is medical transport. A taxi 80% of the time...

I'll do a quick search, sorry, didn't even think about that. I'm only looking for a review course as I have taken the full course already.

Hey guys, So I took a hybrid critical care course that ended last January. My boss was not able to get funding to allow us to take the exam until recently, we haven't set an exam date yet but I will need to complete it before the end of the year I imagine. I was thinking about springing for...

I think that it would be super interesting to learn about it, frankly as a medic I don't know a lot about the billing and I wish I knew more. I ended up submitting the topic as prehospital triage. Thanks for all the help everyone! Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

Right! I thought that was probably the best one. Plus who knew that you can just mix a little haldol in your juice! Thanks so much for finding this! Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

Isn't Tacoma Washington like one of the highest paid fire/EMS depts in the county? Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

That's a really good idea. I've read some interesting things about pre hospital triage Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

I may end up doing that, I thought this would be an interesting topic since I have worked in both models and wanted to compare them, but it just doesn't seem like there is a lot of quantitative data to build a 10-page paper on. I think that something clinical might be easier but with the length...

Thanks so much! I may just take you up on that and shoot you an email Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

That's a great idea, where would i start though? And is there something more specific that I could phrase a research question around? Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

Hmm, maybe this was a poor research topic, I'll do some digging and see what I can find. If anyone has suggestions for research topics related to EMS that would be more easily quantifiable I'd be open to suggestions! Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

You know, I had left that open until I was able to get some info to work with. I was considering things like, response times, cost effectiveness, patient outcomes etc. I'm definitely open to ideas. Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

Hey All, So I'm writing a paper for a college class with the intention of comparing and contrasting Fire based EMS systems vs Standalone systems and need to get some peer reviewed papers to include as part of my paper. I've done a little digging and haven't been able to come up with a ton of...

It doesn't really, sorry for getting off topic :) Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

Haha I think that's a good point. You could make the argument that people don't die because the garbage men can't get along though Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk
