Well, I said "possible broken ribs" because it wasn't as obvious as the other injuries and the guy said that his ribs hurt when he breathed in. Not only did he hit the pavement, but the scaffolding fell on him after he hit. Everything else was obvious. They were, indeed, raccoon eyes. Not...

I haven't been too active on this site, mostly just a lurker, but I've learned a few things while browsing the forums. One thing I was worried about was all of the posts by new or current basics spazzing out over not being able to find a job. I got my national and state cert in October. A...

I actually just spoke with the RN that is taking care of my grandfather tonight, up at Harris in Ft Worth. She said that they hire EMT-Bs for techs in the ER, but she wasn't sure what all they do. I am going to look more into it though.
