OK people, I am trying to find a cough expectorant for my 8 y/o sister who has terrible phlegm buildup in her throat and can't cough it up. Not an antitussive. What is an OTC drug that does that? I feel so stupid that I can't find one.

Interesting weekend. Spent a few days at the State EMS convention, which was great. Word on the street is that NJ may adopt the EMT-AEMT-Paramedic scope of practice model, which I was pretty sure I'd never see here. The medical directors even seem pretty keen on having the AEMT level, despite what the EMS Study Commission had to say.

Maybe that I-85 won't be totally useless to me.

Sweet. They accepted my PTO for next week, so I have to work today/Wed/Fri/Sat/Sun, then I get the next 7 days off.


Hopefully I hear back from the other agency I interviewed with and get the offer today / tomorrow so I can do my notice...

Brown.. fly? YES. New Zealand.. Double Yes.

Brown likes your attitude. Get down here stat!

what do you want for Christmas Mr. brown?

Brown would like hmm, lets see...

- to become a flying HEMS Doctor? No,
- to become an anaesthesti? No,
- to drive round in the gangsta-as hella awesome HEMS Doctor car? No,
- to win the lotto? No,
- for Brown's boss to drop dead? Tempting but no,
- for Brown's mother in law to drop dead? Mrs Brown may find it tempting, but ... no,
- for peace on earth? Foo that just a notion used on suckers by the New World Order so no,

Hmmm .... well seeing as how Mrs Brown might read this Brown would like one of the between one and four Mini Brown's that they have agreed to try for.

Now, because Mrs Brown might not read this .... Brown would like his Christmas present to be in voucher form redeemable for up to 12 months at a later date for a post-dated present of equal or higher value than Santa was going to give Brown at Christmas time.

Oh ... and Brown had best be careful on the first one seeing as how Brown has more girls names than boys on the list of potential names .... Brown may just end up with a house full of girls. Eeek! :D

Whelp, the job I interviewed for the other Friday? They called and offered me the job :)



Now... I'm scared crapless because they are some of the most advanced EMS protocols I've ever seen...holy cow. But it should be fun doing EMS where I have a 45 minute transport to a level 2, and an hour transport to a level 1 with burn ward.
