My EMS Captain at my fire station told me that based on different city protocols that it was unwise to stop at any accidents and to preform patient care,to help do crowd control, or to even stop. I thought it was total BS (sorry), to not help someone. I'm not saying he's right or wrong. I just...

Just a quick question to see if what I'm doing is right or wrong. I work at a private ambulance service in Cleveland, Ohio. I've stopped at numerous car accidents on busy highways and roads to try and help and intervene with the traffic, and to do patient care before city EMS shows up. I was...

I really don't understand, from my time on our squad everyone has equal respect and knowledge. We need them and they need us.

Thanks for all the info and help guys I really appreciate it. As for whomever Lifeguards For Life is I'm a volunteer in a mainly rural part of the state I don't understand your post but it seemed to be one of a negative attitude, I apologize if my post offended you.

I picked up a light bar at an auction for $40, I've searched the web and other sites for the wiring diagram or instructions but have came up empty handed. If anyone has any info or insight on trying to install or just info on the thing. Thanks in advanced.

Thanks for all the help, LucidResq was right it was lost among the many emails. I found them both, much thanks for all the help guys. These don't expire right? I took it back in 2008

I took my NIMS 100-700 back in EMT school more than a year ago. I applied for a volunteer fire-station this week, I got accepted, but my only trouble is they need documentation of the completion of these tests. They were required to do clinical hours at the hospital. Where do I obtain these at...

My prayers go out to the family, friends, and co-workers. Godspeed.

Ask anything you want, I'm new but from what my experiences have taught me from this forum everyone here will answer to their best knowledge and help you succeed. This site helped me with many problems I had with tests and such. They won't steer you wrong.

Well I'm in a similar dilemma, I've applied to quite a few places, no returns. Volunteering is the base, and then employment I presume. But I live in the middle of nowhere. Best thing to do is apply even if they aren't hiring they'll keep you on file for the future.

Well guys I past the NREMT-B. I am very grateful for the help you provided and evaluated with me. Just wanted you guys to know you provided me with knowledge I did not understand and made me "not over look" the obvious with what I do from time to time. EMt-I here I come. But once again a very...

Yeah that makes sense now, better paralyzed then dead. Well thanks for the tips and help, gonna go over just CPR and take my NREMT tomorrow morning. I appreciate all the help guys!

While I'm here this is the other one I missed Question #2 : After responding to a call for a respiratory arrest, you find the patient lying on the floor between her bed and the wall. You and your partner move her out into the middle of the room where there is space to work. This move is...

Yeah I feel like an idiot. ><

A. Open the airway. B. Take spinal precautions. C. Obtain a blood presssure. D. Check for distal pulses, motor function, and sensation. Where all of the options, I was just thinking that a fall of 15' is considered traumatic, I thought of it as a scenario that you would initially take...
