    EMT-B Students!!!

    So once again it has been a long time since I have posted on here. I am happy to announce I finally got a job with AMR as an EMT:D It's funny looking back at my post. I first joined this site either before or right after I had register for my EMT class. I never thought I would get to the point...

    EMT-B Students!!!

    Hey guys! Wow I am surprised to see this thread still going, I haven't been on the site in about 3 or 4 months. Last thing I posted was that I passed all my test for school. Well I actually ended up having the highest grade out of all 250 some odd students! 2 weeks after that I passed my NREMT...

    Overweight, Out of Shape, & want to be a Paramedic

    Again that is why you need to consult with your doctor. There are so many things out there on weight loss it can be mind blowing. When I needed to lose the weight I needed to lose I got plenty of advice from people on forums. I talked to my doctor about those ideas and she said go for it on some...

    Swine flu

    That's a bunch of BS. I understand they don't want the virus to spread but to punish someone who isn't having any S/S is IMO ridiculous. There is a High School around my area that actually cancelled their prom.

    Hi guys

    Can it be the N-95 mask with the little filter on the front with a drawing of a little piggy nose on it? j/k :P Was practicing my skills at school and one of the instructors was walking around with one on.

    Overweight, Out of Shape, & want to be a Paramedic

    Correct. Abosutely. Why is it ignorant? There are plenty of "average joe posters" that have been overweight and lost it. They have learned tips and tricks that have helped them. Some of those tips and tricks were learned from other people. Why not share your knowledge to help someone else...

    Ever meet anyone from EMTLife?

    Yup we can have a So Cal EMTLIFE party!:D Sapphyre lives like 30 minutes away from me and we talk on IM occasionally but haven't met in person. If her agency starts hiring and I get a job we could even work together. That would be fun!

    My husband has the P90X also. He loves it. He just does the work outs and not the diet plan. I was thinking about starting it also. It looks fun. Will be a nice change from doing the elliptical and bowflex all the time.

    Overweight, Out of Shape, & want to be a Paramedic

    Yes the OP does need to go see his doctor before starting any exercise or diet but there is nothing wrong with getting advice (whether they take it or not) from people over the internet especially when some of these people may have been in the same position and lost weight. Just because someone...

    Overweight, Out of Shape, & want to be a Paramedic

    I've heard a lot of good things about the couch to 5k program http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/cms/article-detail.asp?articleid=27 This particular one is designed for people who need to lose weight. A lot of it has to do with your diet. Try going to diet soda, stop eating fast food. Start out...

    Cheyne-stokes- breathing pattern characterized by gradually increasing, then decreasing tidal volume with a period of apnea Biot's- breathing patter characterized by deep, gasping breaths separated by periods of apnea So hopefully the pictures will help. The main difference is that...

    What to do if an IV comes out during transport?

    I completely understand that but for them to make the statement of "go look it up on the internet" is what got me.
