That almost sounds like Guillan-Barre Syndrome. That's probably not what it was but, just throwing it out there.

I would have to agree that my current biggest fear is giving a medication I shouldn't have because of some obscure contraindication I overlooked. As far as peds go, it's usually the parents I get concerned about. They do not take very well to their kid being sick :ph34r: When I was a new...

Agreed, really. I'm sorry, but I don't think that any career in the healthcare field is for you -- at all. I realize that people make mistakes, so hopefully your mistakes will be a lesson to someone in the future. Think about your actions and the effect they will have on your life before you...

Since one only know how to perform the skills that they have learned, logically it isn't possible to go beyond your scope of practice. I'm not sure about Michigan laws but I'm pretty sure that if you stick to what you've been trained to do, you're protected. If anything happens that requires an...

I was taking a look at iphone apps that will do medical math for you in the field. Being not so great at math, and in medic school, I'm a little concerned about this aspect of the job. So I'm looking for opinions - do you use these apps or know anyone who does? How accurate are they? If you have...

All but one that I have this semester are great and I'm learning TONS. I hear that one of the second semester instructors is a real hard@ss, but at least I'll be suffering through it with the rest of my class. In the end, I think it'll be a better medic for it.

Check out Quinsigamond Comm. College, that's where I'm taking mine.

I'm currently in the medic program at Quinsigamond CC in Worcester. I'd have to say that so far, everything is great. I'm learning tons, the instructors are fantastic and really take the time to work with you and care about your success. It's a 3 semester program and they do offer an...

Be careful that the crew you're riding with doesn't try to playfully haze you :P Know what's in your truck. If someone sends you for a piece of equipment that you've never heard of, don't go looking for it. It probably doesn't exist.

There's an iphone app called EMTscenarios which is okay... there are something like 32 scenarios. You don't get to make choices though, you have to form the answer in your head and then click to see if your train of thought is correct. I'd say there's a bit you could learn from it. It'll give...

I hope that they do get expelled - and if they don't, don't worry. They're not going to pass their certification exam Good for you on maintaining that high of an average! It shows that you're in it for the right reasons and are working hard to make sure that your future patients are well...

Hi everybody! Gonna be honest, I've been lurking here for years, and finally decided I should just join so I can talk to all you wonderful people. I'm currently in my first semester of a paramedic program in Mass. and have been a Basic for about 5 years (since I was 16). Hopefully being...
