how about a 62 year old lady who was *um* shall we say lonely, and only had a frozen fish that proceeded to defrost and the fins got impaled. :rolleyes: Um, Med Control, Um, you aren't going to believe this but...

I like the old time favorites such as: dripping IV fluids on the probies through the ceiling panel while they slept turning on lights and sirens (tagging) of other ems vehicles when we find them unoccupied (in the store, at hospital, etc) making up "ads" and posting them at the other...

I agree, you did the right thing. Airway, Breathing are always first. Another one saved by the "whackers".

Congrats. It's a wonderful thing. I love teaching but there is always going to be days :ph34r:

it's 40 to 60 mg/kilo/day divided into 6 hr doses PO, not to exceed 200 mg/kilo < 6 year old. Be sure to check with other forms of medications at they may also have tylenol in them. Hope this helps.:ph34r:

Or they tell you one thing, the nurse something else and the MD an entirely different story...gggrrrrrr. Makes me so mad.

How about new medications? We had one of our own, who was given an antibotic recently, and acted like he/she was having a cerebral hemmorrhagic event. Funny thing was, this person had this type of antibotic before and had no reactions to it. Spent 5 days in the ICU and is now back to work...

I'm not answerring this...no one here has probably heard of it anyway lol.

Around here, the local ambulance co. has a rehab that has supplies that are billed to the fire department in charge of that jurisdicition. And if you don't have at least 8 tankers on scene, you won't have enough water to fight the fire. Typical fire around here is 3 engines, 2 support vehicles...

Sometimes they might. Also try American Medical Response. I got a letter from them yesterday and they stated "relocation incentives". I know that this will not go over very well, but also look into the nursing facilities there. At least you will be in the medical field and it does look good on a...

I agree. Not only does it help, it encourages the "up and coming" to become better team members as well as spark their interest in becoming advanced. After all I have to be able to retire sometime. B) :blush:

Don't do it, don't do it, Don't do it. We have 2 power pro's and have had 8 people get blown out of the shift due to injuries from them because they weight so much more and take more time to load. Even with help, there are so many "pinch" points where fingers get crushed and I do mean...

Congrats, Celtictigress, You did a great job. Now you have to keep your sanity lol. Congrats again.

If your looking to get heated up...try PMT or Southwest Ambulance in Phoenix. I hear that they are always looking for help but I'm not sure what they are looking for. Could also try AMR (American Medical Response).

You think that was bad, try this one. Arrived at a full code with SNF stating the pt has a DNR but they don't know where it is. Sister on scene states that the pt would not have done such a thing and to work her. Get pt worked and arrive at hospital with a pt who has a Blood pressure and pulse...
