I know I'm European and this is a German manufacturer, but me and most EMS workers here love their products. Try www.pax-bags.com Hit "English" in the bottom left corner and browse the shop. Most companies in Germany use the "Wasserkuppe" bagpack series.

Those symptoms in the OP sound like "delirium tremens" to me. I don't know what it is called in medical English, it might even be the same term... I've had lot's of homeless people here show these s/s.... Benzos are the way to go.

Well, thanks for the wishes for Christmas and New Year's.... I cannot really provide insight, as we don't have anyone with a bachelor's degree at my company. You might have to contact your local health department (Gesundheitsamt) as they are responsible for issuing certificates of profession...

How comes you are no longer in RSK? Why didn't you finish your RA? If you had Frank and Roland for instructors, you should be a good medic....

Well then you probably know Sascha W. and Andreas B. who are both good friends of mine..... Or have we met at the Blockfortbildung?

Ich weiß nich.... Kommst du etwa auch aus Bonn und Umgebung? Er sorry, I mean: I don't know... Are you also from or near Bonn?

@hibiti87: Well, you could always try to apply for an internship as a 3rd rider. You would not need a work visa. But also there would be no payment. But that way you could get to know some people who might be willing to help you get through the process of recognition. Sometimes it is a lot...

That's just sad and a disgrace to all medical professionals out there. I won't even talk about the LEOs. So sad :sad: Why do some EMS workers even wonder why they get so little credit for what they do.....

I live in Bonn, which is in the very west of Germany.

I could set up a text in German for you so you can print and show it to your family... When your refer to "Krankenwagen" most Germans still have two people with a stretcher and some bandages on their mind. Unfortunately, EMS-companies don't do a lot of public relations work in Germany, so most...

We didn't have anything but manual shift ambulances when I started in EMS in Y2k, so I'd be comfy with any transmission. Now the reserve ambulances are mostly still type B Sprinters with manual transmission. I have to admit, that it's a safety issue, having to concentrate on traffic, radio and...

bisacally the same here in Germany... We use large rucksack-type bags by PAX made out of a coated waterproof fabric similar to canvas covers. Take a look: www.pax-bags.de (select "English" on intro screen) They contain all CPR, i.v., intub, drugs, O2-cylinder, trauma dressings etc. Weight...

Here it is: Go to: -Summary of changes since 2005 Guidelines -Resuscitation of babies at birth The second and third point will say what you mean ;)

Try www.erc.edu for a source... :)

Hey guys! Over here in Germany we use nothing but sprinters. I've been in EMS since Y2K and have never ridden or driven something other than sprinters. If set up correctly and with a big engine they rock! BTW. Sprinters over here are actually all MERCEDES B) We use them for both box and...
