    ems sticker in your car window?

    My husband and I have small stars on the rear windows of both our vehicles. We live in a small town and everyone knows who we are and what we do anyway and we are proud of our career choice. Definitely not using it to get out of tickets or anything of the sort.

    What are some medical diseases/problems a patient told you

    We had a frequent flyer in the last service I worked in with CREST syndrome. She would tell us she had this then get exasperated if we asked any questions about it and tell us to "just google it".

    the 100% directionless thread

    Last day in my current position. Kind of a bittersweet day. Upside is I will be home with my hubby and furkids every night, downside is we've moved to this teeny tiny small town and I'm not totally sure about it yet. Going to be optimistic about it all though and hope the stress levels in our...

    Volenteering.... Should I?

    I'm a small town girl myself so I'm all for avoiding big cities :) I work as an EMT/PCP for a smaller service run by a health region. I'm based out of a hospital during the day and I get to go home and sleep and just be on call at night. I also work in another section of the region 2 days a...

    Volenteering.... Should I?

    I have never done volunteer so I'm probably not the best to speak to this, but I do know from personal experience that having a couple years of EMR experience behind me before doing PCP was so beneficial. I also find that transfers, boring as they may be at times, are where you can learn...

    Relationships in EMS

    My husband and I are co-workers. We started dating, I broke up with him as I saw it was a bad idea that co-workers date, it got real ugly for about a year and a half and somehow through it all we ended up back together and within 8 months we were married. We aren't always on call together and...

    Do you wear sunglasses at work?

    I wear my sunglasses all the time unless in contact with the patient. I don't want more wrinkles to develop around my eyes from squinting! :P And they definitely are a handy hair accessory when you don't have anything else handy.

    EMS Pens

    100% agree with that! I use a papermate flex grip, only the pink breast cancer awareness one. This is so all the sticky fingered boys I work with won't steal my pen and leave me without one!
