Just got promoted at my college for the EMT program. I'm now going to be making twice the starting pay of a paramedic in my system.

It's EMT skills for a community college and we are also NREMT psychomotor examiners. Now I'm going to be in an out reach program that does tours for younger students (K-12) showing them what we do and that sort of thing.

I'm also going to be running (with one other person) our schools High Fidelity simulator for the EMT, medic, and RT programs. Pretty much they trust me with really expensive things haha

sitting here in the cold, rainy okahoma camp gruber and wondering why exactly I joined the Guard....this will be my last enlistment. This unit literally lacks all coordination, we did not bring 9mm ammo for our pistol qualification range (I kid you not, the retarded LT in charge apparently thought our rifles and pistols shoot 5.56mm both).

New job is ok...some of them seem a little tube-happy, but meh. My scenario use of a King LT to maintain a difficult airway was met with gasps of disbelief, loud "you have to trust your skills" and "we don't do that here". I....well, pay and benefits. It sure is fascinating though to see someone great at parts of medicine, who can quote dozens of studies and side effects of sepsis or cardiac problems, firmly believe tourniquets have no place and mean mandatory amputation or that every CO2-retaining patient should be intubated. 1994!

Their system and protocols are easy, if a little accelerated. Nothing crazy.

Also, an impassioned and entirely anecdotal defense of c-spine on Paramedics on Facebook, triggered by me. Check it out, its great in a morbid, horrible way.

Sounds like my lil brother's description of most of his drill weekends. He is either getting out or switching MOS's in 2 years.

I cant the find cspine thread- I want to read it now.
 
I have to suppress the urge to troll those pages... It would be so absurdly easy it wouldn't be fair.

I love the bougie. Makes CL3s a breeze :D

+1. I use a bougie on just about every intubation.

It's mandatory for every attempt for us.

Unfortunately the only time we can intubated is if there's a contraindication to the King or it fails... :rolleyes:

In other news, failure to thrive calls suck, especially when there's no basis for a legal hold :-/ holy paperwork batman.
 
We don't carry bougies :sad:
