Certified in 1989. Then in 2000 became commercial diver working for marine construction company. Chief of our department is master diver, just ran an in-house class for several of our crew. Since we are a coastal county with lots of rivers, lakes, creeks, as well as coastline, I think the powers...

Just remember Lance Armstrong...only one testicle and he was winning Tour de France and bumping uglies with Sheryl Crow! Godspeed!

Welcome to NC. I am just a county or two south of you at PenderEMS. Sorry, not too sure about agencies around greenville, but I am sure a quick browse on the net and you can find something. Hope you find something. Might check with ECU, I know they ahve good med school and they might have...

Welcome...I found this place when I was a student, and even now working as a Basic I sitll ask questions!!!

emtashleyb, are you riding with Onslow County or volunteer squad? You gonna run into a lot of protocol changes from county to county. I'm a B with PenderEms, just below you guys, and I am sure we have some different protocols, just like New Hanover County (Wilmington) does. There is chat of...

My families prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family.

I have taken this email very seriously. Was sent out by LT to our entire dept on the company email. Not just a "hey I am bored so here is an interesting story" type of deal. We are a very large but mostly rural county on the coast in NC. We do get some influence by larger cities surrounding us...

I searched previous post to see if anyone had commented on this before...couldnt find a reference. Recieved an email from one of our Lts mentioning a new street drug that really seems to be getting on its feet in North Carolina schools, called "strawberry quick" or "strawberry meth". It is meth...

Thanks for the info guys...didnt even think to check on local Cherokee tribe here in North Carolina, and turns out they have a pretty reputable dept. Sorry but around here if someone mentions Cherokee everyone automatically thinks of their huge casino.

My mother is native american, so most of my life I have been interested in/studied the culture and history of our tribal heritage as well as others. Even had a close friend of my wife who is a magistrate as well as Native American perform our weding ceremony for us, adding some of his tribal...

North Carolina is a beautiful state...atleast worth a visit. We have several hundred miles of coastline....then you can drive 5 hours west and enjoy the mountains with plenty of snow in the winter. Our summers are warm, winters are cold...and we have the best BBQ in the country.

I have pulled floaters out who have been crab bait for days in the hot summer sun, been puked on, had medics with me crapped on and I clean up the stair chair/stretcher. But what really gets me is the sickly sweet smell of 3rd degree burns. Saw some folks burn up in an interstate wreck 15 years...

Any of you who have been in this longer then me (and that would be most), have the right to call EMS what you will....job, 9-5, profession, vocation, life choice, etc etc etc. I will continue to see it as a brotherhood(male and female) and hope that when the chips are down, I run into/with...

When you get a chance go to 'Reddingmedical.com'. That is where I found my Littman back in May. Friends in my B class got the same model from other places but this one had the best price.

If you have long term goals, spend th money for a good one. Close paramedic buddy recommended Littman Cardiology III, said it held up well and was excellent for lung/breath sounds. I found mine online from a med supply site that was around $135-140. Loved it ever since. BTW, welcome to the fold!

Tony Saprano!!! see how quick to react he was to 'whats-his-face' who was whacked out and rolled the suburban in final season? No paperwork, pain management, one less crack-head on the street. Man is a genius. And must say that Mark Walberg (sp?) in the 'Shooter' was awesome when me made the...

Welcome from one vol to another!!!

Sorry Ventmedic, not trying to steal your words, just screwed up the "quote" process! :blush:
