I have used the King airway some. Our EMT basics are allowed to use them. They can be a great tool especially when your trying to get an airway on someone with no teeth. I haven't had any trouble out of them yet. They are very simple and quick to use.
I don't want to see any of that happen. That's why I'm working myself to death now. Somebodies got to try to change things because they sure are not working now.
This crew gets offered so much as it is. They just need to get off there butt and work a little. We have already missed calls in the past due to the lack of coverage. One person can't do it alone and I realize that.

Funny that you suggest that because I told two members that if they ran saturday night I would make them a meal. They agreed but now I have to cook. Which normally I don't cook unless it involves 3mins in a microwave.lol
I acquired a new responsibility at work. I am in charge of making the schedule every month. I though that it was no big deal until I couldn't find people to work weekends. It is a volunteer agency so I technically can't make people work. I'm not sure what to do. I cannot work every weekend...
