    Kratom

    Last I checked, kratom was smoked like cannabis. So the spoon may be for heroin.

    Black sneakers to wear with cargo pants for hospital rotation

    Just wear your boots. If they're that uncomfortable, you'll want to get better ones for work anyway.

    Technically speaking, wouldn't a cookbook medic be the best medic?

    Yesterday, one of my coworkers performed a 12-lead on a 2yM who scraped his knee and cried so hard he vomited. When his EMT asked him why, he replied "because he's ALS". Sure, he may be following protocol, but it is still completely stupid.

    Breath sounds/BP

    Putting your feet on the ground channels more vibration sounds up through your own body. Try to lift your feet up to isolate yourself from the truck (so that you're only touching the paded bench) seat to hear better.

    Question about Self Confidence (Almost done with class) Advice wanted..

    "GRAY DEATH"

    Carfentanyl?
  17. U

    EMT fired after refusing to respond to call with patient who previously attacked her.

    Her partner is also her boyfriend. Why didn't he just ride it in instead? Or help her restrain the patient before transport if he lacks the qualifications? There are too many holes in this story.

    Is a street nurse something like a street pharmacist? :rolleyes:

    Lake EMS is a county 3rd service close to Orlando. So is EVAC (Volusia Co).

    EMS billing

    Who cares? And even the ALS supplies don't cost that much, so I doubt they'd bother billing.
