    Well, that certainly clears things up! As far as 'causing confusion', it happens to the best of us from time to time! ;) ;)

    The Official EMTLIFE Introduction Thread

    GA EMT-IV must be a local critter since neither the State of GA or the NREMT have provisions for that title. According to the State of GA, it only recognizes 3 standard levels of licensure EMT-B, EMT-I and EMT-P...

    EMS is public safety.

    Police ARE part of the legal profession, they are the Law Enforcement division of the Legal branch of the government (remember the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of government?) The police do not have, nor will they ever have the power to prosecute, that is for the lawyers; but...

    Legal question, I was dispatched to transport 2 PT's!!!!!

    What I'm finding amusing is that with all the members chiming in from California, not one has backed your play on this one. I'm thinking that there has GOT to be at least ONE other California EMT that would corroborate what you're saying IF in fact, it were illegal in California...

    Legal question, I was dispatched to transport 2 PT's!!!!!

    If you're 'in the middle of an IFT run', why are you stopping at another call in the first place? How was this handled? Did you have a patient on board? Did one crew member evaluate/treat the MVA patient? Did both partners leave the IFT patient unattended? Getting redirected...

    Does PA have a 'grace period' after your license expires for you to complete your CEU's and reapply for your license?

    Heads Up: FDA Pulls Darvocet and Darvon

    I stumbled upon this quite by chance, and felt that it was worth passing along: FDA pulls Darvon painkiller due to safety risks First approved in the 1950s, opioid can cause dangerous heart rhythms, officials say By MATTHEW PERRONE The Associated Press updated 11/19/2010 12:52:52...

    Do you pack heat?

    GA does have a reciprocity agreement with FL. SC only has reciprocity with 17 states. There is (or was last I knew) legislation trying to work its way through Capitol Hill regarding a federal firearms license, so that one could potentially carry concealed weapons in all 50 states.

    Do you pack heat?

    Page 5, post #48: When I got my concealed pistol license, I had to attend a NRA approved safety class. Part of that class was education on 'shoot/no shoot situations'. Not all states require this training, but I'm glad I have it. Another part of this class was demonstrating a...

    Do you pack heat?

    Don'tcha just love it when the 'anti-gun crowd' tries to figure out why us 'gun toting rednecks' carry? I don't know who wrote this, but I agree with what it says: I Don't Carry A Gun To: I don't carry a gun to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed. I don’t carry a gun...

    Some Balls!

    It appears that the only reason they're even trying to remove Dr. Tober from the 'loop' is to thumb their noses at his ruling, which pulled their ALS licenses. I don't see where granting the Certificate of Public Need is going to be beneficial to the people of Naples. Dr. Tober found...

    Firefighter loses job over nude photos

    This is one of the prime reasons I don't have a 'social networking' account! I figure that as long as I don't mention a specific employer, what I do on MY time is MY business. Just because my 'moral compass' isn't in line with everyone else, who's to say that its MY morals that are wrong...

    Unions????

    Not only did that contribute to GM and Dodge/Chrysler et al need bailing out, but throw in corporate greed and the simple fact that people have been buying IMPORTS, not because of better quality, but simply because of lower prices. In today's 'throw away socety' people would rather just toss...
