    RI EMT License

    The RI OEMS website has a list of I/Cs (Instructor / Coordinators) and their contact info. Start calling them. You'll be better off contacting people that appear independent. I/Cs in southern RI are your best bet. Especially if your check clears. I'll PM you if I hear about an I/C with a...

    Deal breakers at work

    Also, Bro's into the sweet story. "Hey, Bro. How was your lady with chest pain?" (Obviously trying to find out how over the top my Tx would be and looking for a sweet brah story) "She had chest pain." *walk away*

    determining pediatric weight

    "Excuse me miss, your little boy there. What is he, like 36lbs? He looks a little plump, maybe 40? Please, stop hitting me. I only hang out at the playground to stare at children and guess how much they might weigh." Might as well ask the kid to help you find your lost puppy.

    Maybe Really Altered?

    It's nice to figure out what's going on, but not required. Getting the pt (and yourself) to the hospital alive and safe is required. Figuring out what substances are in his body is what the Hospital Tox screen is for.

    Ever dropped a patient?

    I'm really surprised the SNF even took a person who had an unprotected fall from about 5 feet up (if the stretcher was fully extended and the pt was semi-fowlers). Seems like an instant trip to local ED. Possible CT ect.

    Maybe Really Altered?

    And I may be wrong, under educated and ignorant... But ketamine is used for the bath salts? (For both pt and provider safety?) But then again I'm hesitant to pull out a needle around someone who is "handcuffed and combative"

    Deal breakers at work

    Hogging the remote. Complaining about all the personal errands I NEED to do on the clock. Not going to the coffee shop I like, just because it's more "convenient" Liking different radio stations than me. Serious, life threatening allergies that prevent me from eating, or possibly rubbing...

    What is your most ridiculous call?

    Last week my wife went to a residence at 0505 for ankle pain. Found 92 y/o male. Obtained a PMHx: COPD, circumcision.

    Maybe Really Altered?

    14g? Wow... Why the Narcan? His RR was 22 with a 99% RA. Would you give him D50 because his sugar was ONLY 130s? Did you put him on the monitor before you jammed a garden hose in his arm? I'm sure there would of been another borderline reason to administer another medication into a relatively...

    Medium-Duty Ambulances

    Maybe they just don't like their knees touching the stretcher? Icky stuff happens on that thing.

    There's a difference between being Dead and being MOSTLY Dead.

    Off-Duty Response

    Are you in an area that is covered by a volunteer or semi-volunteer agency? Does this agency permit responding to the scene of a possible emergency in your POV? Are you a member of said agency/ covered by their liability insurance? If No to any of these then ABSOLUTELY NOT. If No to any of...
