I'm toying with the idea of changing their password to one of these:
"Iwillnotannoyffemt"
"ffemtisthegreatest"
"pleasedontbanmeffemt"

Holy cardiac arrest batman. Gave calcium chloride and sodium bicarb for the first time in my career. Pain in the butt calling for orders on three separate occasions though.

So a couple days ago, after transporting our patient in cardiac arrest, her husband and grandson drive over to the hospital behind the ambulance. We found out a short time later that their house was broken into and all of their valuables were stolen. Another day at work in the ghetto.

While at work I wear a badge. Doesn't make one whit of a difference about professionalism. It does, however, make me look exactly like a cop. None of the EMS companies I've ever worked for had a badge as part of the uniform. Actually, let me rephrase that: none of the EMS companies I've worked for have had a metal badge as part of the uniform. A couple did require those plastic badges though...

First time? What are the indications, per your protocols?
When I was a young pup paramedic, those were pretty far down the algorithm (barring a clear indication such as a suspected OD), but we'd still give them pretty routinely because we worked codes forever and transported pretty much everybody.
Epi/Atropine/Lido-Epi/Atropine/Lido-Epi/Atropine/Procainamide-Epi-Procainamide-Epi-Bretylium-Epi-Bretylium-Epi-Magnesium-Epi-Calcium-Epi-Bicarb.....
We also used paddles. Patches were just starting to become commonplace, but they were for sissy girl nurses who weren't trying to look as much as possible like Johnny & Roy.

We only use calcium for known dialysis patients.
And bicarb for extended down times.
Epi/ Ami/ Epi/ Ami/ epi/ bicarb/ Epi/ mag/ Epi/ Epi/ Epi until we get to the ER. But usually we only get to the second AMI maybe
That's for Vfib: vtach of course.
Asystole usually is worked on scene and usually called

I wear a metal badge too, but then again my company runs both 911 and IFT.

Like American Professionals? Their uniform look somewhat like FFs , imagine if a dialysis co. IFT came in with turnout gear.

I've actually seen an EMT in LA wear his fire academy turn out pants on a dialysis call. I think it was First Med.
