sure that you want to go to Poland or are there any other European countries of interest to you?

Guess that's a topic I can give an answer to in case anyone's interested :) Pretty much all of Europe offers that. In Great Britain and Northern Ireland the bachelor degree should be for free but sometimes you have to be affiliated to a service (and foreigners most of the time have to pay for...

If you are in Northern Ireland - I'll be there from Mid of June to mid of July. After that I'll be out of Europe for a while again. Send me a message on where you are planning to go and I can see it I have people there in my contact book. Best wishes!

Hi folks, for a project in a developing country I am looking for a set of protocols cut down to the absolute minimums, so as to say: How can we achieve a maximum benefit with minimal resources. Most of the calls that are attended are trauma (traffic accidents), so a focus on that would be great...

Sorry - hope my replies is not too late. Unfortunately I will be abroad most of the summer, but I know a few services close to the German border to Denmark. In case you want to give them a visit, I could arrange something for you. Best wishes!

Hi. German paramedic here. Fire away! Cheers!

Hi - which kind of countries are you referring to?

Sorry to interrupt - but i`m afraid, what you posted under "Germany" is not what German EMS uniforms look like at all. From the license plates and the uniforms I would also guess that this photo has been taken either a couple of years ago in Hungary or the Czech Republic. German EMS uniforms...

Just for your convenience: If you plan on doing an internship in the US - special visa regulations will apply for you - point blank: You`ll need some sort of a work-visa which is hard to get the regular ESTA form will not be enough. You can try it without one, but don`t be surprised if border...

EDIT: Supine may be the wrong word. It's mostly recommended to keep them lying down, turned on the left side. I think you get the idea.

Hey folks, a quick question (to everyone from everywhere): What procedure do your protocols suggest for women in labor with ROM (rupture of membrane)? How do you transport women who call you for rom (with foetus head engaged or not)? Why am I asking? I'm a german paramedic currently looking...

Are you looking for something like WARA? http://www.westafrican-rescue.com/ Cheers!

Normofrequency with frequent self-terminating episodes of irregular small-QRS-complex tachycardias sounds like an indication to check for WPW to me. Plus AF is afaik the most frequent rhythm distortion seen in Patients with WPW. A 12-lead of the normal rhythm would be interesting to check for...

from what you described - wolff parkinson white syndrome? I can't really evaluate the ECG. Is there any way to zoom into the scanned file? Again: http://en.ecgpedia.org/wiki/Main_Page might help. Cheers!

Well, then i haven't been so far off after all :) Do you know this site? http://en.ecgpedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Maybe you'll find some extra information there, but I'm afraid you won't get far without a 12-lead ECG. Cheers!
