Dogs. Not all dogs, just the little yap yap ankle biting ones!!! ;-D

I would love to have the opportunity to let folks know about the four mobile apps that I have developed.

Twenty years in EMS and haven't even come close to needing steel/composite toe boots. Maybe if I was a construction worker......

Depends That is really a question for your Medical Director. I know in my service, we have two devices shared by four ambulances. If we have an RSI job, we call for the supervisor who has one of the glidescopes. Usually, I will have my IV access and drugs drawn up and ready by the...

It really depends on the hospital. A couple of hospitals that I transport to want a patch regardless. One of the hospitals do not want a patch unless it is a priority 1 or 2 patient. If you have any questions, have your Medical director contact the hospital and ascertain their preference

Depends on which state you are in. In the wake of the Terry Shivo situation quite a few years back, some states changed their laws to allow the family to supersede DNRs. If you have ant doubt, look up you state statutes.

Go to college and get an undergraduate degree while you're young. You will more options and a brighter future if you do.

You are only as old as you look..... Or is it as old as you feel?? I was 42 when I started Paramedic school after 15+ years in EMS as EMT-B and EMT-I. Don't let age hold you back. Only you know what you are capable of.

don't sweat the small stuff.... Seriously, when I'm working my IFT job, I feel like an ambulance driver. Especially since most of the jobs are BLS, so if I'm on the ambulance, I drive.

It's not about what calls you are missing. It's not about the system. It's about your duty to act. EMS can be feast or famine. You can be idle for hours on end or the :censored: can hit the fan. While I have compassion for my patients and I have nothing but their best interest in mind. My...

More than a taxi ride Whenever I have a patient that isn't being very descriptive of their problem, I will try and dig deeper by asking more questions. Does it hurt all over your tummy or is it just in one spot? Can you point to the exact location of your pain? Is it constant or does it...

It's okay to say no.... Just be nice about it. If they are sick enough to call 911 and request ambulance transport, then they should go to the closest appropriate hospital. In addition to the insurance question that has been raised, what about resource management. Is okay to take an ambulance...

Just wanted to say hey to a fellow Wyoming Medic. I did EMS in Wyo for 16 years before moving to East Coast.

Wyoming now allows carry concealed without a permit.

Don't get an eCollar because you always shock Vtach! ;-D
