If you shorten it to "rapid pneumatic tourniquet", you can call it the RAPTOR system and take some of the CAT's market share.

Nope. This happened last week to the EMT on 105B. It's been a while since anyone has frozen a shirt.
The day VST left his cigarettes at the station on Saturday and the night VST heat shrunk them all and then heat shrunk some batteries to it (as a weight) and put it in the fish tank.

Internship has me to the point that I'm about ready to just walk out of the ambulance bay and start a new life as a street corner prostitute. Better pay, better hours, and less stress.
Might be more pleasurable for both you and your customers too.

You've hit the wall. Now you need to take a minute and think about what is holding you back. We all go through this at some point in our education as paramedics. For me, it was figuring out how to better organize my scene and get things going for my patient by learning to anticipate what is coming down the pike, so to speak. If I failed to do that, it was all too easy for my preceptor to take the call over. I got the basics down but it took a while to get things really running smoothly, the better part of a year in fact. Refinement of that took another year.
Your issue may be very different from mine, but you must figure out what it is or you'll remain stuck and that can fail you from an internship.

I'm pretty sure the opticom in our normal unit is dead. It's an IR one so we can't really tell if it's flashing, there's 4 red LED's on the edges that strobe, but when I look at it through the front facing camera on my iphone, that can see IR LED's, there's no flashing
