Been doing the free paramedic refresher through prodigy. Actually pretty good. Think 5.5 hours of ce is enough for the day.

Thank you for reminding me about that! I was wondering how it was. I'm happy to hear that it's decent. :-)

Definitely something I'll sign up for.
 
So I work an ALS/BLS transport job.
My partner taught me how to place EKG leads and a little bit about end tidal CO2 interpretation. I asked if he would be willing to teach me how to put in an IV and he said he would and would be willing to let me practice a bit on him. Naturally he drew the line at practicing using the manual defibrillator and intubation.

Things you should not do, perform an invasive skill that you are not certified or in a training program to do and then post about it on social media.
 
Oops. I was just excited about him teaching me stuff. I’d never do any of it on a call of course. He knows I plan to go to medic school in a few years so he just wants to show me what I’m going to be learning.

Dude. That's very illegal and you could lose your patch. EMS isn't a game.
 
He’s just showing me what to expect in school. I’m not going to do any of it of course.
 
Ok so delete all of what I’ve said.

No need to delete it as long as you don't do those actions. It also serves as a good lesson learned to others.
 
Ok. Honestly I’m more fascinated with the EKG stuff from I guess a theoretical point of view. I find it so fascinating that a bunch of lines going up and down can tell you so much about the heart.

Get Dubin's orange book. I did and read it when I can. Most medics are happy to explain and help.
 
I already have it. Got it when I thought I was going to get my EKG tech cert before they canceled the class.
