I hate calling 911 in general. I remember the last time I called 911 for a Car Accident, I identified my self and informed dispatch exactly what needed and how many patients I had on scene that would have to be transported. the dispatcher, (I know you guys have your protocols and all those lovely questions you have to ask) started asking me those questions..

I learned, if you witness an accident and have your radio with you! DONT USE YOUR CELL PHONE, Use your radio, dispatch wont ask as many questions!

I was tempted to call back after a call and complain to a manager about a 911 dispatcher who did that once to me when requesting paramedics once for my patient. Of course besides the EMD questions, I was told that "they don't provide paramedic escorts" ("paramedic escort" is the technically, albeit obscure, correct term) and when I asked for an ETA I was told that 'they were responding with lights and sirens.' That, of course, does not answer my question about an ETA.

Nope, but I am pretty sure this one guy in the class will. Before being allowed to do venipunctures on each other, we had to demonstrate we can do it on a mannequin, and the testing style was similar to EMT where you had to verbalize and do everything. I was watching that guy, and he failed horribly. He was sweating bullets, shaking like crazy, and the needle was a U shape when it came out of the mannequin arm. Thankfully they failed him, but he's still in the program, and has a chance to continue. Even if he passes, I will forever fear him, and expect death and poked out eyes.

On the bright side, once you get done intubating that hole, there's only one hole left to intube.

...and yes, that's also what she said.

There is no issue if you caught it. There is an issue if you transported and the hospital caught it.

Called to follow up on an interview a couple of weeks ago. I was told that they hired a couple before my interview, so they'll be giving me a call if they don't work out.

To get the job, I have to wait for them to fail. That's not exactly a nice thing to wish for.

Looks like Brown will have to switch to being a dermatologist or using the largyngeal mask :D

No issue there mate, as soon as Brown has passed the tube and connected it to the bag it looked dodge; no chest rise, no misting, the self inflating bag would not inflate .... got it fixed up within 10-15 seconds.

At least there was no suxamethonium involved.
