I am both a paid and volunteer paramedic. I would say that if you only want to be a volunteer, go for the intermediate level of training. I was an EMT-Critical Care (mostly equivalent to an NREMT I-99) as a volunteer before advancing to paramedic. Had I not been doing it as a career, I don't...

Best of Luck. Make sure you study. Read the sections before the lecture, then read them again after the lecture. Highlighters and notes in your textbooks are your best friend. My program we did clinical rotations throughout the program. M&W 9-5 with occasional T as well. We had to do our...

The article quoted the intern, who said she was not talking. Alert, but unable to talk, so the possibility for injury is there, is it not?

I chuckled. I liked it, unfortunately, we are such a small community, IDK if it would take off... I'd watch it tho.

?!? How is this his fault? With the exception of not activating the volunteer orginizations to help alleviate the workload, this doesnt fall on EMS. It falls on sanitation, it falls on mother nature, and it falls on the citizens of NYC; those who chose to drive, then leave their cars when...

Considering how much time and money is spent to pay these men and women, and the equipment, and the gas, and the training; these prices that they have here don't seem that outrageous. Plus, I believe that as more and more agencies across the country pick up this practice, it may become the...

Goodness. We had 15. I thought that was bad... Much smaller district, but... D@mn... Good for them. Keep up the good work. Do we know how many crews they had out for New Years?

My heart goes out to the family friends and coworkers of this EMT, and I wish her a speedy recovery. I saw someone post earlier (before it was known to be ETOH) that they suspected it as well because of an influx in DWIs in NM, and I'm sad to say that it is an influx in this country. I live...

Yeah, a lot of these people who commit suicide in this manner are aware of the danger it poses to first responders. They put a skull and crossbones-like sign in the window. But if not, you need to remember back to your class. Scene safety first. Most cases like this, you can see the bucket or...
