I am in the process of setting up assemblies and stuff like that for my current work place. I am curious as to if ya'll had any ideas on what we could "demonstrate" to kids from Kindergarten through 5th grade. Any help would be appreciated.

Even if pt had taken Viagra, I would still consider the Nitro due to pressure being 160/78. I actually had a similar case to this one. Pt. had taken Viagra and had Nitro pills of his own. B/P was 168/90, pulse of 146, respirations of 24. I contacted medical control-told him the situation...

I think I may have it-In the last two shifts I worked I've ran three calls-that's three calls in 36 hours. And they've been BS. A psych pt, cooperative the whole time.......and one of those "I better go to the hospital cuz my neck hurts a 1 out of 10" on a rearend MVC with little to no damage...

Patient stated he was going approx. 20-30 mph around a gravel curve and lost control. The 4-wheeler didn't look too bad.....handle bars were messed up a bit. The only thing the patient hit was the hard ground.

Patient was 21 years old, not wearing a helmet and he and bystanders said he was going about 20 mph around a gravel curve when he lost control and flipped. Our patient was not complaining of any shoulder/back pain and upon examination in rta and oa nothing was noted. No indication to us of a...

times From the time of call to dispatch for them to get us a helo to time the patient would have been at a trauma center would have been probably an hour. The helo's around here usually have a 15-20 minute ETA and won't land until fire gets there and that would have been about 15 minutes...

2nd set of vitals The second set of vitals were if I remember correctly- BP 120/80, P 88, R 18, Pupils still equal and reactive, Pox 100% after we put him on 2L NC.

So last night my partner and I are dispatched to a 4-wheeler accident unknown injuries. We go en route and about half way to the scene dispatch comes back and says there is a doctor on scene (turned out to be a nurse and happened in her driveway)-anyway-says our patient has a possible broken...

My problem with veging in front of the tv is that no matter what I am watching something that happens in the show or something that is said triggers my thoughts about stuff and then I can't quit thinking about it. I tried running and walking but that just gets me thinking even more. There is...

Okay, I am admitting that I am bad at dealing with stress and finding "outlets" when everything builds up. I know I shouldn't let it build up but I have so much on my "plate" right now that it doesn't even seem possible that I am going to be able to handle paramedic school. I absolutely love...

I feel that one certain person in the district I work for has some isssues with me. Last Friday I was working and she was our acting lt. I wasn't even her partner and we weren't at the same station. Friday really opened my eyes to her having an issue with me. I couldn't do anything right-AT...

1. Will it make me look bad to the service I already work for to go ride somewhere else to gain experience? 2. Will it make me look bad to the service I already work for to go to an interview at a different service for another part time job? OKAY 3 QUESTIONS....... 3. An EMT that is...

middle of MO Here in my service we have 7-yes that's right only seven-and not all of them are run 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week. We run on a normal day 4 ALS ambulances-some are medic/medic, others are emt/medic (depends on the shift)-About four to five days a week we run a part time unit-12 hrs...

What worked for me is memorization of the NR skill sheet......everybody is different. I laminated all of my sheets and they went everywhere with me-and I mean everywhere. The only thing my instructors could talk about the whole five months of basic was memorize, memorize, memorize.....and...

I think it's sweet......in fact I was thinking of getting one kind of like that in the same spot
