    Excuse me?did you just say what I think you did?

    I was paired with a 20 yr old who thought that because his mommy had been a High up at Big Baylor and hooked him up with a SWEET ER Tech gig (only lasted 4 months), that he was the S*&T!!

The best piece of advice that *I* was given (we have type 2's and Type 1's) was to remember that you are driving a HUGE Bilboard. It is also a Giant Insurance Target!! I found out that If I go out there with the opinon...

    Private Services VS County..

    I guess I can understand not wanting to hire "fresh Faces", the trick is finding the private company that is losing people for the "right" reasons (promotions, leaving for county, etc) and not because dispatch can't run a zone system and you get all the sucky calls. As far as *I'm* concerned...

    where does "paramedic" come from?

    In "Saved" Harper was going to be interviewed, and the newsies asked Angela a few questions. She's the one that said "Paramedic...means hands of a doctor". I like that way of thinking, Paramedics are after all, an outward extention of the physician him(her)self. EMT's are cool and all, but let's...
