    What made you join EMS?

    I was sitting in the grandstands at my local racetrack on the 4th of July. Before the races began one of the medics was sitting down a couple rows in front of me, and I was watching him talk to some people. I've always watched medics/firefighters and of course ambulances, etc. while their doing...

    Laughing in all the wrong places..

    He was actually laughing at the guys' voice...which is no surprise. lol. That is a squeaky-voice. The other week I was on the phone with DELL trying to fix a problem with my computer, and I must say it took all my effort not to laugh as I was talking to this guy who had one of the most...

    Need some questions answered...

    I completed a fanfic called "He Could Be The One" about a teen rockstar meeting a girl on a cruise ship...it was 38,226 words. Premise? What's that? lol. The genre is probably mainly going to be action...with some romance/comedy. I would love to get it published, but right now just...

    Need some questions answered...

    Thanks for the great tips, FireTender! :D And I actually have another question: Is there a lieutenant status for paramedics? Or is that just for firefighters? In my story, they're based in New York - so I was think they would be part of the New York Fire Department, and they'd have...

    Need some questions answered...

    Thanks for all the replies, guys! :D You all definitely made sense with explaining the difference between probie and rookie. :D As for my question about injuries, it didn't have to be the most common. Actually in my story I was thinking of something quite more dangerous...but I dont want...

    Trauma

    Why? Because all flight medics are like Rabbit? Give me a break...I seriously like the show. Who cares that it's not accurate/realistic? It's a freaking show for pete's sake! If there was a show to complain about, I'd have to complain about House MD....all those wacky, fake, made-up...

    Need some questions answered...

    Okay, so none of you probably know this (probably because I never mentioned it in my intro post...) but I like to write short stories/novels...and well my latest idea has been to write a story about paramedics/firefighters... The original idea was about a firefighter, but I decided to change...

    EMS and meal "breaks"

    I've always wondered how meal breaks work...and of course I've seen in movies that as soon as the paramedic/firefighter goes to eat they get a call. And I guess that's true! I'm kind of worried for that part though; I'm a hypoglycemic so my blood sugar drops quite low if I don't eat every...

    So, what did you learn today?

    I didn't learn this in med school (cuz of course I'm not in it yet..) but my teacher told us today that when men are aroused they can't think properly because not a lot of blood is going to their brain. She's an art teacher - very knowledgable ;) - and we definitely had an interesting...

    New NBC series "Trauma" this fall

    I'm looking forward to it starting. And I plan on watching it too. It looks good. I watch all medical shows (like Greys Anatomy, etc.) so this one looks even more interesting, being about paramedics and all. ;) Does anyone know when it actually airs? Emily
