Pay is the lowest in the state as well. The city is continuing to hurt financially yet they have been starting up a bunch of academy classes.

There was usually at least one person at my clinicals who loved to teach students. I really enjoyed my OR time getting intubations the most. The anesthesiologist I followed not only made sure I got as many intubations and airways as I could but also explained her job and why she did certain...

I've heard the opposite. I have heard that Maryland will continue to recognize EMT-I 99 or as MD calls it CRT. If they were to only recognize B's and P's there would be an uproar from a lot of jurisdictions as many will only train their providers to the I-99 level.

85 question in about 30 minutes for Paramedic and I passed. Everything about national registry testing is stressful even when you have confidence.

I took the I protocol test early last year and canman is correct. Everything in the book is fair game including how long you have till the medical director for situations. I will be taking the p protocol test hopefully next month.

Straight from the MD protocol WHILE TIME, DISTANCE, AND PROXIMITY ARE ALL FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED IN THE TRIAGE DECISION, THE TRAUMA DECISION TREE SHOULD BE USED TO DETERMINE WHO SHOULD BE TRANSPORTED TO THE NEAREST APPROPRIATE TRAUMA CENTER AND WHEN THE TRANSPORT SHOULD OCCUR. Really...

Maybe the guy is just a big fan of the the department of natural resources.

How did you find that thread so quick. I tried using the search, I looked through a whole lot of pages worth or threads.. ha. Thanks though.

Was that the same episode where he had some lady do CPR on a dummy with a huge Ekg in the background. I've only seen the clip once and haven't Been able to find it since.

In Maryland I know of a few people that have gotten DUI's and they drive county ambulances. Not agreeing with it, but thats what it is.

does anyone have that link to the dr. oz video when he tells the lady to give aspirin under the tongue to her dead husband instead of doing cpr?

I'm gonna reply to the political part of this first. This is not a Republic vs. Democrat issue. This has turned into a Goverment vs. the People issue. The majority did not want this and there elected officials did not represent them. The Republicans are just as bad as the Democrats. They...
