Let me tell you something... I was told over and over again that there was no way. That because I was 18 that I would never be able to get on with an ambulance service, let alone anything dealing with 911. But I kept looking and kept my options open. I found a fantastic hospital based...

Word around the shop is we should be getting LP 15's soon.

Better watch out for that hat pocket. People will start calling 911 for the tremendously sore neck someones going to be having with 7 pounds of god knows what on the bill of their hat! "Why yes Mr. Johnson, my many years of education leave me to believe that the pain you are experiencing...

Some of those are pretty food. Anyone know of any others.

Well im looking for academic articles about the studies of a possible standardization of EMT and Medic Protocols and/or scope of practice. I am writing a paper on such topic and was wondering if anyone had stumbled across any articles or journal writings about this? Do studies even exist on...

Two words: Situational Awareness That said, its great to hear that everyone is safe and sound!

Correct me if i am wrong, but isn't any movement aside from placing the patient on a backboard contraindicated for suspected spinal injuries? Being that you walked her to your truck, whether she had a C collar on or not, I would say that pretty much completely nulls the purpose of the backboard...

For the life of me i cant find an up to date version of the EMT Basic Protocols for Region Two, Rock Island Illinois. Can anyone help me?

Really? It is an amazing place to grow up, especially if you are into all the outdoor stuff like me. I love it there, but had to get away for a while.

Thanks guys for all the help. I am really trying to get all this up and running, because my eventual plan is to start a campus wide emergency medical response team composed of students, and as I have been an EMT before, its going to be a little different starting a group involving emergency...

Thank you very much!! That is exactly what I needed Thanks a bunch

Well, I cant seem to find the place to get an answer, so I thought I would bring it to the board. I just moved to Rock Island IL within the past week, as I am going to college here. I came from Cortez, CO. I want to practice as an EMT here in Illinois, just like I did in Colorado. I need help...
