I agree that you should rack up some time before you start teaching but here in Tx you can teach up to your patch level if you are a state instuctor. Tx recognises the naemse instructor course. www.naemse.org is a good place to start if you are thinking about EMS education.

Just thought I'd say hi before the thread is closed for being "inflammatory". Besides if attacked by ninjas just pull the lanyard on your exploding pants. Duh!

Oh! Don't get me started on zippers!

Use 550 cord just in case you find yourself in a situation where you need to rappel with your shoe laces. :rofl:

you guys are behind the times, tactical exploding bolts are where it's at. If you get in a situation where it's life or death you pull a handle and your pants explode and are carried away from your body by a tiny little rocket pack. The super deluxe tactical high speed version also release...

We have to insure the unit is climate controlled either by controlling the temp in the unit or the building the unit is in. We use shoreline powered ac and heat to control the temp in the unit. Works better for our situation with a sub station in another town (we don't want to build a building...

We used to pipe ac into the trucks from modified window units but over the last few years we have spec'd shoreline powered ac units into all of our units. We have also ordered "medi fridge" units for all of our trucks due to new protocols having drugs that have to be refrigerated. DSHS here in...

We have had two. The first witnessed a mvc on the way back from a transfer and basicly had to watch the driver burn to death. He walked in droped his stuff on the table and walked out we never saw him again. The second was put on probation under another medics supervision for a mishandled call...

During a flood our VFD was sent to a home that was in the flooded area by a concerned dog owner that reported her dog was chained up in the yard and she was afraid it would drown. When the unit cleared the scene another fire unit called and asked "what kind of dog was it" the first unit...

Acadian Ambulance has moved into my part of Texas. Any feedback on how they are as employers?

Or it will turn out she is a loon, made advances to the EMT that he didn't respond to, etc. Only the lawsuits will tell.

Relax. You know more than you think you do! Stay calm. Or act calm even if you aren't. Nothing annoys me more than someone screaming into the radio or running around scene like it's armaggedon. Earn your place with the crews before you start giving your opinions but if it's your call use...
