Do you have a site or ebay?

KED and pillows. In some of our trucks, the time it takes to get out the padded board splints or any of the ortho splints out of the over stuffed and jammed bench seat i could already be @ the ER. :P As far as vacuum splints go. More often then not the air or vacuum splint will be cut off...

The main difference i have noticed after working in both an Urban and Suburban setting. There are more stairs to climb in an urban setting with less of a chance of finding an elevator. Other than the obvious differences, no matter where you go you will still get the same BS. Abuse of the system.

My advice is get to know some of your fellow EMS providers in the area. Have them give you the inside scoop when Basics are moving up to medic or the company is putting up extra trucks. A lot of times a position will be filled before the company can even post the opening. So it helps to have...

5 drops of Visine in his morning coffee will do the trick lol. :glare: btw im jk no matter how bad the partner is its just i wouldnt wish that fate on most people. If someones giving you problems just call them out on it. Then you can deal with it like adults. But if your partner isn't...

all i can say about our call volume is that it is alot

if your over 18 and have a pulse your good to go. (id rather it not be this way but there isn't anything i can do to change policy)

Johnny, Roy, and Dr. Bracket talked me into it B)

on the truck we have a instant developing camera that we use to show the ER mechanism and other information from the scene. These pictures stay with the pt's file @ the hospital with the run report.
