the 100% directionless thread

started driving and gaining direction with mock addresses for testing me on my navigation and as we drove up a couple of cars were passing and kids with a lady were all waving to us so I waved back and my trainer said now you are a kids hero. he was joking in a way but also somewhat serious and it made me feel really good after i said well if they knew me i would be and he said well you are my hero and we had a bro moment lol the other aemt said started cracking up

Yes indeed, she was pretty. But, I mustn't let my coworkers catch wind of this, lest they try setting me up with her as well.
 
Whoa dude! Its been over 24 hours since someone posted in this thread?
 
Military recruiters are so persistent, 3 voicemails in one day (two different branches)
 
I just did a call at a commercial chicken house. If you have never been in or near one of these facilities… All I can say is, "what a stink".

Did it look like the ones on Food Inc?
 
Yep.

I may have to burn my uniform.

I agree! ! Love what you do and you will be whole ... am I the only weird one around that enjoys taking of my station boots after 12 hours of having them on, and placing my foot on carpet? ? Feels like "stoking the furry walls" (from the movie, take him to the Greek)

I'll give you guys a fun one to talk about: our EMT-Is can start EJs without supervision from a medic.

Whats the big deal a veins a vein. Why do people get so excited about EJ's it's just another vein.
 
Went into ninja mode for a couple of hours at the EMT class orientation :ph34r:

Then my cover got blown when the director of the program made me speak to the class :glare:

Just one of many reasons I no longer eat meat.
 
I never want to see that much vomit in my ambulance again. :( But.. I know it won't be the last time.

And? We've got big IV caths.

Very true. I still think there are potentially more serious complications associated with EJ IVs than with peripheral IVs. Air embolisms, hematoma, etc

Disagree. ALL IV placements have risks, including thrombophlebitis, hematoma, infection, peripheral nerve injuries, and local infiltration. A properly prepared and placed EJ has no "potentially more serious complication" than any other peripheral IV.
 
Today I had one of the most intense shifts... It was great experience. Sometimes having a partner who is a medic whom is overweight and sleeping bout 90% of the shift making you take all the BLS calls, at the same time driving to them, and then taking the wheel back after you've attended, and having 0 ALS calls, allowing him to do the least work (with more pay) and only critiquing your work gave me an understanding of how it is working on my own. Also, is it recommended for one person to replace the heavy house tank by them selves?
