AAWWW cute trying to rationalize sex. We are animals period, its what we do. Its just what kind of species you are, are you a dove or lion? I have and would again (assuming I wasn't hitched)

Is there anyone out there that has ran across one of these? http://www.zoll.com/product.aspx?id=902. We recently found out that a member of our community has one.

Ditto, I am part of SAMIC near Springfield and they offer a few online CE's. I would think that if they are offered then they would be acceptable. I just prefer to go to the seminars as they are a little more open for discussion JMO

You'll never forget your first. Mine was on my neighbor :sad: 6yr ago.

100 is a number pulled outa someone's arse, Trendelenberg may not have the effect i want but what else am i gona do? As this is a BLS squad with ALS on their way.(which btw will take up to 10min.)

and that is why we have taken the class and used our own research abilities to find out more about the meds we have been given. Again we are taking it upon our selves to increase our knowledge for the wellbeing of our pt's and community.

You do not give nitro to pt with low bp, one word SHOCK. Do not give to pt with head injuries because risk of bleeding out (?). Its a no brainer why you don't give to infants and children. You just dont do it. If pt has taken ED meds their bp is probably already low and why lower it to the point...

Well we def. dont get all the meds in the handy dandy drug box, but since you asked we get epi pen, neb tx's, ASA, nitro. For which all of us know the indications/contraindications and the fact that we have no problem calling med control before giving if we are unsure

We get there in a matter of min. our response time is 3min or less, where as it takes ALS 10-15min. And in some areas up to 30min.

I am not saying that pt's live all because of us, You my friend are reading more into it than what is there. Let me explain this, we are on mutual page with our ALS unit. We may not be able to intubate, but hey that is why we are all trained on King tubes N Combi's, AMI's we may not have...

Hey if you are offering to move to "small town IL" i will all but give you my spot on this squad on a golden platter. Until then I, and others just as devoted as me, are all that this town has. Prevent edicational levels from progressing? WTF? Tell me the point of getting a medic license for a...

In IL you are not considered emancipated just cuz you have a kid. You are responsible for all the decisions in referance to the child but the "mother" is still under her parents/guardian. So to clarify if mother and baby were hurt the mother can make the medical decision for her babe, and the...

So sorry to hear that epi. Hope things go better for ya'll in the coming months. The death of someone like that really shakes things up.
