I'm a Texan. Your insults bounce off my Alamo Pride.

Only two things come from Texas...

I do not have horns. Not do I have such proclivities. Try again.

 

[CALEMT]

You know why the wind blows in Oklahoma?

Cause Kansas blows and Texas sucks... go OU.

 

[DragonClaw]

Bro, we didn't have strangers die at the Alamo for that.

I can't hear you over the sound of a Lightning Whelk in one ear and a mockingbird in the other singing the Yellow Rose of Texas while walking though a pasture of bluebonnets and Longhorns next to pecan orchards where the Armadillos like to live.

... go OU.

I’m sure Dabo Swinney begs to differ. That said, it’s been one heck of an interesting CFB season, especially for BCS ranked teams to be upset.

@NomadicMedic are the squad medics a permanent role, or is it still being trialed? Also, cool utilization of downtime.

All of mine do... I think

I've only had one, though. It got real weird though. Everyone told me to run, so did my gut, so I did. Hindsight 20/20

 

[Jim37F]

All of mine are in North Carolina or LA lol

But George Straight is always what pops into my head whenever people start talking about Texas

 

[CALEMT]

Ironically some of my ex's live in Texas

I think ot Sam Houston, Santa Ana, Greg Abbott, William Travis, Steven F Austin. For people.

In general, I think Home, guns, my state. A place I'd fight for. I think of my fellow Texans. Those long care trips. Dr pepper and whataburger. Camping and hunting in freezing weather. The rolling hill country and pine forests that raised me. The dreadnought BB-35. Man, this state means so much to me

God truly blessed me by being born here. I don't play the lottery, because other people need a chance to win, I already did.

We've had 9 flags over my home, and I'd be pretty dang okay if we became a republic again.

I could go on forever. This state is the best there ever was or will be.

 

[DragonClaw]

Wait, I'm not done. I thought I was, but I saw this meme and now I'm not.

West Coast best coast. Texas is a gigantic dorito of disappointment and failure at higher echelons of everything.

It will be a permanent thing. The goal is to pull medics off ambulances and go back to medics in fly cars for all the ALS. We are still looking for the right people to staff the squads and it’s a big cultural shift internally. There’s battles to fight to fully implement this process, but it’s really the best way to maximize the resources.

Pennsylvania EMS is like nothing I’ve ever seen before and finding ways to go about navigating the various political and regulatory hurdles is an ongoing education for me.

What’s the Pennsylvania take on ALS assessment and treatment but BLS transport?

 

[StCEMT]

Pffft... flatlanders...

Truth. Hate and pride was the only thing that got me on that hillside....mostly hate.

These Yankees wouldn't know greatness even if they moved to Texas.

Depends on what you mean. If there’s ALS interventions going on, the medic hops on board the BLS truck and rides. If it’s an ALS assessment and determined to be BLS, the medic downgrades it. A medic can also downgrade to an AEMT, who can do symptom management with Zofran, breathing treatments, that sort of thing. That’s where eventually see the system moving.
