Lol. This just came over the SO/PD Local freq.

Dispatch: 229, Control 1. Disturbance. 123 S Xyz St.
Officer: 29 enroute.
Dispatch: 229 RP states her neighbors were fighting inside their house. The man, looks like a last of Smith, first of Jon left on foot, north on Xyz st.
Officer: 29 copy. I'm about five out.
Dispatch: Aaaaaand 229, errrrrrrrr, for your, ummmmmm, information.......... The RP, ahhhhh, thought it might be a good idea to, errrrmmmm, have a plain clothes officer attempt, ummmmm, initial contact with Mr. Smith.
Officer: 29, Yeaaaaaaa, that's not going to happen.
Dispatch: We thought so. Had to ask.
Officer: 29
Dispatch: 229 at 0400

When you live in an area the size I do, you don't get to request thy type of cop you get. You get what you get. There is only one LEO of any kind at all during the night. And he is not plain clothes. Ha ha.

Considering driving two hours every Wed for an accelerated A&P course at NCTI. The benefit is that it is a prereq for NCTI Paramedic Program, which I've been looking into Paramedic Programs, and been debating about whether I want to try to get into one ASAP, or get some experience as an EMT-Basic. My EMT instructor, who is a Paramedic, doesn't like the idea of Paramedics that lack EMT-Basics experience, but at the same time, I liked the argument on the forum that becoming a Paramedic sooner rather than later might be better. I am leaning towards doing it (accelerated A&P and jump into Paramedics ASAP) anyhow regardless of what people think.

Scared that the school might not be good though, and it will be a waste of time and money. Although, I do believe it is up to the student, regardless of how good or bad a program is, at mastery. I still rather be in a good program though.

Regardless, there are no available seats in the Paramedic Program near my area (within a couple hour drives I mean) so I may still get experience as an EMT-Basic for a short while if I manage to get a job soon. I still look at the A&P course as gold though since it's so difficult to get into A&P in the colleges nearby.

Take chemistry then A&P I and II which use a proper A&P book like Marieb rather than some cut down week A&P course for sparky want-to-be ambo's

Brown does not, however Brown chose his name for the following reasons

1. Brown has primarily crewed on brown watch,
2. Brown likes Dr Suess,
3. Brown has half watched Reservior Dogs, once in 1996 and once last year,
4. Mr Brown and Mr Black are in the Dr Suess book Hop On Pop

I already got Chemistry under my belt. I'm not sure if this makes the A&P class any better, but it appears to be seven weeks long, but a total of 63 hours only. Still too fast?

Our Paramedics do the same A&P as the BSN nurses, physios, massage therapists etc ... so it was about 12 weeks and 150 hours long; I still don't feel like I know enough

Maybe if I go to medical school I will know enough to satisfy myself .... maybe, Brown is prepared to give up med school to start a family so who knows. You can't come home and hug your MBChB when its cold now can you :D

Well, like I said, I pretty much already had myself convinced on doing it so I just signed up, hehe. Worst that happens is I don't learn as much as I would have if I took a normal A&P class, but seeing that I can't get into one, I think I am gonna learn more than not taking any A&P class period. At the moment, the only A&P I know is from three different classes that all briefly went over it, and then self study, which I just Googled and found a lot of teachers posting their class materials online, or I have several books on it.

Depends how much of a sarchastic mood she is in at the time I want to propose :D

*Brown away! :ph34r:

Here you say when you propose. Then another page you say your wife is camping. Which is it? Are you married? Are you even in the medical field? Or are you a 14 year old want a be? :p But seriously did you get your online persona's confused for a minute?

Aw snap you got me, Brown is really a shut in who lives in the basement, reads Playdude and makes helicopter noises while working night shift at the Wally World to avoid having to interact with people in the harsh light of day in order to not worsen his phobias.

Come on mate ... I may have a warped sense of humour but don't question my medical knowledge or skill, I may not know all the medicine in the world but I am a damn good Ambo.

Oh, and as for the doctor thing .... I may have to choose between whether that orange jumpsuit has "DOCTOR" or "DAD" written on the back in big green letters. I don't know about you as I am not privy to your thoughts however if push comes to shove, I will choose the latter.

*Brown runs round making helicopter noises

Ambulance, Medivac descending .....
