    Those look decent, actually. Do you have any interior shots? I wonder how they'd hold up in the snow... ? Just curious.. you do realize you don't have any license plates?

    Stethoscope preference

    I have a Littmann Classic II S.E.. I love it; good acoustics, durable, easy to maintain and its a mid-range stethoscope for price. All the pretty colors make it easy to tell which one is yours! I've been trying to learn cardiac sounds and the classic is not the greatest to say the least. My...

    Medicare ems in alberta, canada

    Medi-Care is... well its an interesting little service. To put it bluntly it does not have a wonderful reputation. Its home to many good people, but its management often leaves something to be desired. Its little private services like these that makes me really look forward to the health...

    Which is the better school.

    No school is perfect, but some are certainly better than others. I think you have a sound choice in Portage. I know a number of grads of Portage EMT and paramedic programs and I haven't heard anything negative about them. As Jochi said, CMA accreditation is not everything; the only thing CMA...

    Oops!

    You can see the flashing lights of the "whacker" reflected in the ambulance's striping. The camera is too steady, it must be a drive-cam. I'd suspect its a supervisor's vehicle or a PRU responding with the ambulance. Anyone who's driven on winter roads can say that the driver did a good job...

    Just putting this out there...

    I just need to put this out there for the world to see... I've really got to say that I've been very aggravated by some people's need to hijack threads to something along the lines of EMS being recognized as a profession. Emergency Medical Services as a whole is not and will never be...

    Oops!

    While driving on icy roads, its difficult to stay in control period, it doesn't matter how slowly you are going. I can vouch, I live in Edmonton! Good job to the driver for not hitting anyone, not rolling his truck and staying on the road!

    Prehospital Cardiac Save at the pre-Inagural Event

    Couldn't have said it better. While expired equipment or supplies is a serious issue, using expired equipment is still better than nothing. I can't give the evidence but I've heard of studies suggesting that using epi-pens past expiry that is still clear in color and of precipitate is...
