Local Emergency Medicine physicians have developed a ground breaking way to reduce the amount of patients they will see during a shift. The new policy mimics a common Halloween tradition: leave a bowl full of candy outside with a sign that says Take One -allowing one to get drunk and not be...

USA Network is going to be airing Sirens starting in March. http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/11/18/sirens-first-look-denis-leary/ I'm hoping it is a lot more Scrubs and a lot less Trauma. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQYcrtxk19g

Anyone familiar with this? Our fire dept provides coverage for the large outdoor musical venue in the area and at the big festivals this summer we have run into multiple patients who apparently combined MDMA and LSD and lost their goddamn minds. They start roaming wildly around the grounds and...

Seems to be a fair number of people here from the DC/VA area - anyone have any experience with Associates in Emergency Care? They seem like kind of a fly-by-night organization judging strictly from their website http://aecare911.org/ On a related note, is it possible to search for a whole...

(I tried doing a search but either there is no previous discussion on the topic or I couldn't come up with clear enough search terms.) We are in the corner of our county, situated where we respond into our first due, several other stations' areas within our county, as well as into Baltimore...

Trying to put together a list of important skills that are rarely used, that we can do during monthly drills to keep people fresh (mixed volunteer fd). This stems from a recent spike in calls to our local park for pee-wee football "possible head injuries". One of the skills that is gone...

Whenever I look at the main forum (http://emtlife.com/), various subforums show a blue Star of Life/Rod of Asclepius, indicating that the forum contains New Messages. However, often the forum will be marked with a dark/greyed out Star which would seem to indicate No New Messages, even when I...

I realize this is a pretty subjective thing and everyone's circumstances are different, but I thought I'd get a sampling of the folks on this board. Is anyone out there a volunteer paramedic? I thoroughly enjoy EMS, but I have no intention of making any kind of career out of it - I have a...

First, I want to say that my hearing checks out fine - I have practically perfect hearing in both ears, and it has been measured several times in the past 2 years. I can actually still hear the very high-freq sounds that you are "supposed" to lose in your early twenties (I am 27). The hearing...

My wife found this while looking for xmas presents for me... (I guess since she showed it to me, she decided against buying it. $30 is too much for a cafepress tshirt) http://www.cafepress.com/+pirating_emt_tshirt,165969369 I thought it was funnier than the typical "Running in when others...
