Turn to page 312 in the special events section:

"Expect diarrhea and emesis to follow approximately 1-5 hours after the Superbowl"

Woohoo!!! Patriots lost!!!
I like how the Giants cheated in the second to last play. "Let's put 12 men on the field and help the Patriots run down the clock!" Giants, 2012 Super Bowl Champions*
In all seriousness, defensive penalties in the last 2 minutes of each half should also give the offense the option of resetting the clock to the time at the end of the last unpenalized play.

Agreed on the clock bs, and they should be able to reset it. But that game was fully of shady/bs/missed calls. Really, I'm not at all a Giants fan, I just can't stand the Patriots 
Overall it was a pretty good game though

Though watching the Pat's lose in the Super Bowl again hurts a lot (a lot, a lot), I think the recovery on this one will be better than 2008. There's no two ways about it, they just got outplayed.

Yes Ma'am. Idk where I got untold stories from.
Next on the list is Resecue 471.
Apparently I can read books pretty quickly, I need more suggestions. I used to love to read and now that I don't have Paramedic school reading every damn day I want to get back into it. Might end up with a Kindle

One of the few things I have ever read that changed the way I though about medicine. Everyone should read it, regardless of their role or specialty.
Thats actually a pretty good book same with.his other one, although a rather poor example of how to run an ambulance system

I might have to take you up on that one. No anthrax though!
That could be a cool setup...A book trade type of thing.

Curses! Foiled again!
In all seriousness, shoot me your address and I can have it off to you tomorrow
Yes, that is one of the books some of the degree students use along with others like Guyton, Rosen, Bates etc
Much (most) of what is in the great laborious volumes is far above what a paramedic needs to know, we get degree people here who have an extreme level of book smarts about tissue and receptors and who want to listen to heart sounds to see if its CHF or asthma and who think at 22 they are better than the rest who did vocational training but they can barely talk to a patient without embarrassing themselves and can't lift the stryker properly
The balance needs to move a little less toward books and a lot more towards practical or we need to stop letting people with no life experience and big egos in
Because in.both books he talks of low pay like so low its not legal to be paid that little here, having to spend hours sitting in an ambulance on the street without a break, having to seek permission to use certain drugs or procedures and I was struck him saying some EMTs can only administer oxygen, such a person would not be allowed on an ambulance here
I know it was in the early to mid 1990s in Connecticut but has anything changed?
