Huh? Who tests for TCAs? Was it trazadone? Who the hell would abuse trazadone.

Elavil or amitriptyline.

And it was in a drug test for basic class.

Wow. That was a comprehensive panel I've always found it interesting that in the airline biz they test you for medications like pcp and LSD but Mexican Xanax is apparently not a big enough problem to be worth testing for. I suspect the reason they don't test for benzos is because they don't want to replace 80 percent if their work force.

Haha, I dunno, I'm half surprised they don't encourage benzo use! I could never put up with a hundred crazy passengers... :lol:
 
Several summers ago I worked at a water park as an EMT and I was always one of the staff picked for "random" drug screening. I think if they tested the ride ops, they wouldn't be able to staff the park.

Sounds like the waterpark here in my town.. their lunch breaks suddenly turn into visits to the car, parking lot, etc..

Take stats take stats take stats! After (almost) 4 years of undergrad, I am SO glad I got a good stats background early on.

Best of luck with that. I have only ever had 1 academic advisor who was worth listening to. Strangely enough he was the head of a philosophy department.

She calmed down a little w/ 2 of Ativan IN (didn't like it at ALL though).

Errrr....one the reasons she didn't like it is Ativan is oil based, generally not approved via the IN route and from what I understand burns like fire when delivered that way....

I stand corrected...apparently there is evidence for the safety of IN lorazepam....

It really is a good class to take as a starting point for various directions of study. However, if you're already decent at math (particularly standard curves and percentages), you're going to feel like smashing your head against the wall out of boredom. There is a difference between reinforcing basic material, and being overly redundant.
 
I'm not allowed to leave the house for a couple months. Went out for 2 hours and bought Haix boots ~$260 (company paid for) and then motocross knee braces ~$700.
 
Take a contract worth 3 grand for a month of work or turn it down for vague answers and so far empty promises of maybe starting clinicals during that time frame

There might be evidence for the safety, but have you ever seen it done? We tried it with some expired ativan once. It wouldn't mist like other drugs do, it just shot in a straight stream out of the tip, and you had to use a lot of force to achieve that.
 
I wish I could slap people sometimes. I was reading over comments on a hospital website and a lady was complaining about waiting in the ER for hours when she came in with a stomach flu. This was part of the comment..

"And of course, they rolled me up to a double - occupied- room. I lost it. It was 1:30am, I was feeling like :censored::censored::censored::censored:, and I threw a toddler quality tantrum. No one cared. They pretty much forced me in the room. I had no choice. I was on the "waiting list" for a private room."

Where do people get this sense of entitlement? Seriously.

&$@?#! Grumble grumble....cough, dispatch $#*&?!

Two 911 trucks to cover the city. One night time transfer truck.

Transfer truck gets sent to east Timbuktu to post a station that runs MAYBE 2 calls a shift.

One of my station trucks gets sent on a 5 hour LDT. Leaving one truck, me, to cover the city, plus surrounding county, with virtually no backup.

Gonna be a heck of a busy night
