[MrBrown]

Let's see ....

Brown is referred to by Citizenship and Immigration as well as the State Department as a "foreign alien national"

Brown requires "paroling" into the United States

Brown spoke with a nice Consul Officer who works for the "Foreign Service" of the State Department

... talk about making Brown feel different

Oh and those Marines outside the United States Consulate (easily identified by the big American flag hmmm ...... ) make the Buckingham Palace guards look like crap

Planning a visit, are we?

 

[MrBrown]

Nah Brown is from a visa free country as far as visiting goes .... however Mrs Brown has a funny looking non Kiwi passport which says United States on it, so Brown needs to go ask Hillary Clinton if Brown is able to come and contribute some tax to that sixteen trillion dollar debt.

Getting anybody to even look at Brown's Ambulance Officer or IV/Cardiac qualifications is rather difficult.

Some yahoo with a 100 hour course is allowed to run around killing people yet Brown who is eminently more qualified, knowledgable and experienced is looked at as being lesser. Odd.

You should contact the University of New Mexico School of Medicine, your training and formal education could very well translate to a BS, EMS with their program, assuming one meets the 30 hour residency requirement.

Brown will look into it. Brown is not a University educated ambo but rather schooled in-house under the old vocational track to our old intermediary level called an ICO or Intermediate Care Officer. The "new" version of this level is now a "Paramedic" and is upskilled with various IV drugs and is what the Bachelors Degree graduates obtain.

Well truth be told ICOs were renamed "Paramedics" a few years ago but Brown is old school in terminology anyway, whats in a name?

So I'm studying at my school's library and decided to take a quick look around as a study break. I ended up coming across a set of slides (for you youngin's, that's what was used before we had this fancy Powerpoint thing) comprised of 5 or 6 carousels for NAEMT PHTLS, dated 1988.

Anything different? Or the same silly "golden hour" chant?

Just a chance to stick my 2 cents in. I have been on lots of forums and never saw a thread 825 pages long. Not to say that EMSers are long winded though. Its just that we have a lot of important stuff to talk about.

It's 'cause we are awesome.

Actually - the Admin staff kinda let this be the steam vent, within reason - keeps off topic stuff off everything else.

It's actually a little like my twitter feed - but we've been doing it since before twitter was cool.

Just got accepted to be a subject for a psychology study at my college that is going to study interactions between men and women, while drinking. So, what it boils down to is that I'm getting paid to drink at school, and "mingle." I love being in college.

Young women in NZ of today are noted for being serious binge drinkers.

Interesting link about alcohol consumption in NZ and the costs to the Health sector.

Maybe they do it to be noticed by guys or maybe they do it because youth of the 2000's only seem to interact by TXT, even if they are in the same room as each other.
Have the sexes forgotten how th make conversation without the use of alcohol or a cell-phone...interesting to see the results of the study when it is finished Hotel.

Don't get too ETOH and ended up in the campus pool!

P.S. Yes I do drink, but only socially.

Cheers Enjoynz

Patient assessment is what I'm working on for class. Since coming here I've heard some about how our EMS system isn't that good, that there's issues, that people need more training. So I wonder for taking vitals, how much of it is of use, how standardized is it, will I read that its like protocols, there, but maybe not what I should be doing?

Vitals are pretty much the same everywhere you go, and a very critical part of assessment. They're useful. Definitely learn them.
