Thanks a bunch Grimes.

Years ago, I started going to school for a bachelors in technical management. I have 3 years in and I figure that it would be a waste to not finish it. I'm still VERY interested in EMS and I'm pretty sure that's where I'm supposed to be in life. I was an EMT Basic. I got my certification in PA...

I'm in the same situation as you. This first term, I haven't worked EMS for very long because I moved to a different state twice and each time had to gain reciprocity. If you took your class 2 years ago like I did than your book is most likely out of date. I go to emtb.com and check out the...

Thanks all! She didn't seem to have any trouble breathing from what I could see so it was most likely that her chest wall expansion made the pain worse. Our protocol says "provide O2 therapy as needed" so 2 lpm via NC would have probably sufficed to ease her fears. I think I definitely went...

Congrats!

I've always wondered this myself! Looking forward to reading everyone's opinion. My take on it is, especially in EMS, if you have something contagious, it's best to stay home for the health of your partners and the patients. That's preferred...but we all know that it's not always acceptable...

I agree with this! Definitely a bad experience and it's always hard when it's a loved one but you really did well. Hope everything turns out ok!

I just got 8" from Galls. They definitely need some insoles. Any suggestions?

Thanks a bunch!
