Not a chance in hell I passed that. When 90% of the questions make you go :blink: that can't be a good sign.

Hey, thats what I said too....

 

[lightsandsirens5]

You know your :censored::censored::censored::censored:. I am sure you did just fine. Everyone thinks they failed it. I don't know one person who took the registry, and was like "Oh yea. I nailed it"

We'll all be pulling for him.

Thanks guys. $100, activated charcoal, and subcutaneous fluids later he is home and seeming to do ok. They did try to induce vomiting but no pills came up.

He ate around 20 10mg tablets. So We are mainly worried about his kidneys at the moment. I take him back tomorrow to get his createnine and BUN levels checked.

They charge 20 dollars just to check a BP. I wish I had a cuff small enough lol

 

[STXmedic]

I call bs Rob.

Any updates, Anjel? Your pup doing okay? :sad:

Edit: Nevermind... Well hopefully there's no lasting issues; glad he's doing okay

ACE inhibitors have mild to moderate toxicity in dogs according to this site http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/poison/ace-inhibitors/

Thanks for the update. Poor little guy and after all the mental trauma from the photo last night

Anjel, glad to hear your pup is doing well. I hope the labs tomorrow come back ok.

Congrats, lights! Now you can take that little bit of knowledge and begin figuring out how to be all paramedical and stuff.

Rob, think positive thoughts! You rocked everything else, so I am sure you did fine.

I just caved in and got an IPad. It's not the newest one out, because I wanted to save some money, but I am already liking it

I've had the one and the two. There really isn't anything on the two that I use enough to justify the upgrade.

If you like online shooters get Nova3 it's a very good Halo3 clone.

I'm a tad late on this, been busy with class, but they are having is do a sternal rub or put pressure behind the ear to check for gag reflex. I guess the theory is if they react to painful stimuli they have an intact reflex.

Also, I hope all goes well at your pups follow up, Angel.

Turned 42 today...
Start my part time EMT-B job tomorrow morning...

I guess this could be considered my "mid life crisis". Although, it's not much of a crisis.

I did the same thing. Took my National Registry for Paramedic on my 40th birthday.

Wow thanks. I don't feel so out of place then. I'll be finishing up school at 38. I'm glad it can be done.

They say the average adult will have 3 careers by the time of retirement. EMS certainly isn't a bad one to get into.

 

[Achilles]

EMS certainly isn't a bad one to get into.

I think about 17,217 people think the same!

I'm hoping I can get away with just the one career but if I finish my medic it will certainly be a good fall back plan.

 

[DrankTheKoolaid]

Oh man dont say that. That means i have 2 more careers to go before i can retire! I already have my donkey and hat pickedx out.

You will find me in the hills with a can of beans, my dog and gold pan for retirement

Oh Friday the 13th....my patients are having a V Tach party. Now if we can get some Torsades going that would be some real fun.
