What's up guys? I am finally getting to start the hands on stuff in my EMT class. We have just got through all of the medical/legal/ethics stuff and are now finally getting into the good stuff! We got to take blood pressure, locate and palpate all of the pulse sites and do a glucose finger stick test. Tonight we are doing patient assessment. I am excited!!

I remember this. Have fun, enjoy it while it lasts, and most importantly, learn to do things by the book for the NR exam.

I love school too, I'm glad you're excited..
My favorite parts is obstetrics.. Nothing more exciting then the thought of a delivering a healthy baby.. The smell of amniotic fluid and placenta in the morning..

That scares the crap out of me. One female patient is enough work....generating another one....definitely a situation I want to avoid.

Seem like most people love it or hate it... I've delivered 4 humans-- if you count the one of my own that I delivered by myself.
The hardest part for me was restraining myself not to scream out "OH, HELL YES MUTHA FU**ER!!!" as the baby drops out.
My favorite part is coming over the radio in the ambulance saying....
"Dispatch...EMS X on the way to the hospital with ... one newborn baby boy, and one very proud mother..."
Makes me smile every time I hear it on the radio
a nice feeling when you get to tell everyone else too

ASA can successfully treat prehospital labor.
Take 1 tablet.
Place between patient's knees.
Tell her to hold it there until you arrive at the hospital.
