we had to call in our reports by radio or cell phone.. I mainly used cells we just gave the basics pt age, cc, hx, how far out we were and if they had any info for us, mostly it went smooth sometimes if u forgot to call in they would get pissy.

The company I worked for in TX we were not allowed to wear shorts, even when it was 110. No one seemed to mind too much, if givin the chance i would not wear shorts.

I realize that, I just never realized how many there were untill I started working in El Paso.

At my company 90% of our pts are dialysis pt and we pick most of them up 3x a week. they are all in esrd, the thought of any of my pts driving them selfs is really scary or just not even a possability. I put the reason for ambulance transport as severe weakness secondary to esrd, or some of them...

lol I dont think too many people wake and think today is the day I am gonna die. unless they plan on doing it to them selfs. I know I dont think about it too much. I think about it but not to the point of obsession. I just want to make sure that I know all of my options so my family does not...

Thanks that was great, I have a lot to think about. I may be somewhat young still, but you never know

lol well I guess he wont make it too far, anyone who is in this feild knows it is definatly not about the money. At least as a basic we dont make that much. If he wants money he should go to med school or becaome a lawyer lol

See that is what I am talking about, being able to help out others, everyone benefited from helping each other without just handing out the answers. there quite a few in my class who just did not want to do the work. we started out with about 40 students by the time we were done we were down to...

I am a donor, even before I got into ems, However I never really thought much about cadaver donation. I plan on being creamated anyway. I will have to look into that, I am not even sure where I would go to look into that, anyone with any info would be great.

We never had our grades posted in emt-b class. Even if we had it would not have botherd me, I was close to the top but not the top, I had no problem helping out other students, unless the students did not really care and there were a few of those. I think it is a good feeling to help people out...

well I definaltly love helping people even though most of my pts dont even realize what is going on. Kinda sad really but at least I know that I am doing my part to make people a little more comfy. Also the free food is an added bonus I never knew about till I started working. :)

I am a few weeks into a new job working IFT, I thought it was gonna be boring but quite the contrary. I have a new found respect for older people not that I didnet respect them before. It is amazing to me to see all the diffrent health issues out there, and to learn all the diffrent medical...

I work on a IFT truck, It is not complicated but you do have to pay attention, never try to move more that you feel comfortable moving and ask questions. The only thing with IFT is sometimes I dont feel like I get to utilize all of my skills, and on occasion we do back up local fire dept for 911...

wow, I think you and your girl need to serioulsy have a heart to heart. If this is truly what you want and what she does not, you will either give her up and move on, or give in and end up resenting her. I love working in EMS, My father was an emt and in the army, and my husband currently serves...

I am originally from Sacramento, It is a big town. Alot of people most of them decent some not so much. With 2 main fire depts and and several private, you have to be able to know your surroundings if not the people, that are on scene, just keep your eyes peeled for unusual activity and if your...

Would depend on the animal, If it were a big giant spider we would all be screwed because I would probably faint, other than that though.....

Third watch is the best ever I watch it every morning. I think it looks like it may be a entertaing show, E.R. outside lol. They had to come up with something to replace it with right?. I am an adrenalin cowboy well cowgirl I guess lol.

I beleive thats true too. you can imagine and picture blood and diffrent types of wounds all day long and go down the nr check list. With out some kind of realisticness you go out on your first call it is not gonna play out all nice and tidy. when you get you first sight of blood and wicked...

ours were not very realistic at all. I would have love to have blood and guts. I have only gone on one trauma call and thats when I was doing my ride along. Mabey I am a little twisted but I enjoyed it. I was somewhat excited about seeing the blood. The guy has been jumped by like 5 guys. I did...
