Good day pretty lady.. Thank you for the add... happy 4th from Kuwait

I am over here on a civilian contract to run 911 calls for the military bases here. Its really good money.

Thanks for teh add.. and greetings from Kuwait!

this is true.. I can just see it now.. Family member walks in on the whole ER staff jamming out to Another one bites teh dust on the stereo... LOL

I work in an hospital that has a peds side as well as a adult side. We are the level one trauma center in the area. So we get both age groups. My managers have pulled me from being able to go into the peds area as an assignment until this is gotten under control. Ladies and gentlemen, I...

Believe it or not everyone, this is actually helping me out alot. Everyone is giving me different things to think about... from a medical prospective. I am really taking in everything that is said.

but no matter what happens, I always do that is needed and required.. I never once not do what I am suppose to.

It only bothers me in Peds cases... Not others. That is the odd thing. I can deal with everything else. But the peds cases are the ones that bother me.

The new AHA guild lines state that chest compressions should be done at a rate of 96-98 beats per second. So... the next time you are doing compressions on a patient, sing the song Staying Alive by the BeeGee's or Another one bites the dust! ;) Just food for thought!

Hi all. This is kinda hard for me to post, but I am having alot of issues dealing with several codes that I have worked since I started this profession and thought that since this is a EMS site.. I could pick everyone mind about things. I have been to therapy and they all have told me that...

Hi there.. It is not letting me into the Chat room. Says invalid user name and password.. but I am able to sign into the site. Any thought??

I do agree with all of you. That is just wrong having an online medical training course. Unless you plan on treating your patients via webcam and robotic arms. There is no need in it!

Keep in mind that if your agency states that you have to stop under THEIR guildlines, then you do so.. Other wise you are covered to practice basic first Aid and CPR.

what do U mean why is it going wrong in the field?

Its adequate for the standards at the time.. but it changes so much. First its hyperventilate.. then its hypoventilate.. Then its a slow chest compressions allowing time to recoil.. now its Hard fast and deep. As health care providers I feel that since we do CPR so much, we somewhat teach...

I know that in my department we have a photographer that responds to majort scenes.. both fire and EMS. but ther are never any pics of patients. Just scene... vehicles, buildings, firefighters... things like that

That is awesome!!!

that might be good is U are transporting the patient BLS and something goes wrong and you are in a loud unit. the department here that I volunteer for has it.

Largest MCI was a 14 car MVA. I was one of the first rescues on scene. Did a rapid trauma assessment on everyone. called in extra resources. noone was "critically injuried" So we did quick basic first aide then sent them on. Its not really hard to deal with if U are only with them for a few...

EMTGIRL21 dealing with death is hard to do.. even more so if its a death of a fellow FF/EMT/Medic. I had a Asst. Chief dies in a accident while responding to a fire. He rolled the woods truck. I knew him personally and it sucked. But knowing that you have the support system of the Fire...
