I find it amazing that the biggest police agency in the US still isn't able to send officers to a scene in a timely fashion.

Wow, congratulations EMTLife, once again you have proven that great advice can't be given without someone acting like a complete jerk.... Thanks to those of you who actually anwered my questions.

I think you're misunderstanding me here: being a paramedic IS my dream job, it always has. Being outside is definitely preferred. I'm not against the long hours, but later on in life they will take their toll and I know that very well. Money does matter though, so I'm willing to settle for...

Hey, I know these are probably considered annoying, but can anyone review these courses from UC and tell me if they strike you as good or bad? As well, if yu have personal experience, I'd love to hear it. And finally, if you know of better opportunites in the area, I'd REALLY love to hear...

I'm a young person who is planning on going into emergency medicine. I"ll be going to college at UC (University of Cincinnati) soon, which has phenominal nursing and medical schools. They have a pretty solid EMS associates course as well. So, what I ask of you is this: as a young person...

Does the Fender have two single pickups and one humbucker, or two humbuckers? I have what is apprently a "double fat strat" which isn't made anymore, and it has two humbuckers.

Well, I don't know a whole lot about the union system in my area, but what I can say is that the Cincinnati laid off an enormous amount of Fire EMS workers last year...which I thought was what the union exists to prevent? So, I'm guessing that the union doesn't have much power here? And I feel...

So, as the title implies, I just can't seem to wrap my head around something. On this forum, I've seen many who claim that Fire Departments are taking EMS by storm. This seems odd to me, because in my area, 911-EMS is only run by FD's. And anyway, I know for a fact many FD employed EMT's and...

WOAH! Now wait a minute, everyone re-read the first sentence of the report: Now if this is the case, it kinda changes things. I think it's time that reporters learn the difference between EMT and Paramedic.

Agreed, unfortunately the public will never be able to undertsand that logic. And instead, they just slander his name and say things like "Got what he deserved" and it scares me, because I can only imagine what could happen to me in this situation. But, just to be clear, when it comes to the...

I've though about this a lot. I think I would have at least looked at the scene, made sure no one was trying to do something stupid like hold her tongue (thats still common, right?) or that there wasn't another traumatic injury apparent, but I don't think I would have done much more than that...

Very cool, I love telecasters. I'm not a huge country fan, but I still can't get enough of that bright, twangy sound. Sounds like a great setup for a metal guitarist.

Just wondering, is anyone here a guitarist? The few friends and relatives I have who are EMS workers are all guitar enthusisits, so I figured maybe it's pretty common. If so, what guitar do you play? (maybe even post a picture) I play an el cheapo Squire Strat with a few modifications. I...

The only helicopter unit in Cincinnati is UC Air Care provided by UC hospital, they have two choppers, and are staffed by one emergency physician and one trauma nurse, or just two physicians. No medics or EMT's. And they run a very large amount of calls every day, because UC hospital is pretty...

I can't understand why this many "medical professionals" would feel as if they could just skip out on any form of training just because they don't like the course, and then whine about being suspended.

I absolutely LOVE your photo albums! Beautiful work!

Sorry, I know this is unrelated to the OP, but that article was absolutely fascinating...and horrifying. But still, I'm very glad you linked it.

Bull. Don't blame your attitude problems on your region. And no, it's called being an arrogant jerk for no reason at all. in other words, it's called being miserable (and probably alone). But I take all that back, seeing as you seem a lot nicer than you describe yourself. Not that this...

EDIT: Nevermind, it's not worth it. Sorry admins.

Forget it now. You will not win with these people (we know who). They are mean and nasty most of them. The only times that they will every treat you kindly is if you admit that they are better than you, or if you also start treating people like crap. Eventually you learn to just avoid/ignore...
