CCSD: I don't know I haven't looked at it much, too old to start

one I can see, but the word should get around not to be dumb

Had someone's Fitbit tell him to call 911, his HR was 150. He bought some Gummies designed to help adults with ADHD, and the package said if you have never taken them before to take half of one. He took 6 (out of a package of 12).

Not totally related, but starting this year, if you are a 1st Responder already, with 5 years of experience: Utah will pay your way through College to become a Psychologist or Psychiatric. They decided that we need counselors who have 1st Responder background

Huh, news article I read said Boulder County, CO; but doesn't mean much

2 doses of Midazolam doesn't cause that much of a respiratory problem. Heck, 15mg Midazolam plus 10mg Haldol doesn't cause that much respiratory problems

Town up in Alaska EMS is ran totally by High School Students. and I think most of fire is too

When I worked in Indiana not many places use A-EMT's and school went from Basic to Medic (for most of them). Here in Utah and Nevada, it is a stepping stone: Basic, A, Medic and you don't have a choice if you are going to a state sponsored program

for Pain we use 50mg IN or 0.2mg/kg IV for combative patients it is 4mg/kg IM. We have only used it on 2 patients, 1 for pain 1 for combative. Worked great for both, glad I fought for it for 3 years. Side note: the court cases in Boulder CO have started against the medics and officers...

A lot of calls over the years I remember, a few of those I wish I could forget. Some come back to me at weird times.

FT job: 400mcg Fentanyl, 40mg Morphine (which we are dropping soon), 10mg Versed, 500mg/10mL Ketamine. No Valium in the boxes, but we do have Valium Auto Injectors at 1 station. PT Job: 300mcg Fentanyl, 30mg Morphine, 15mg Versed (which isn't 'locked' up), it is an A-EMT drug; and 10mg...

Come west to Utah Nevada, and I can get you on at my PT job

Not a watch but phone, it was interesting to watch the patient's Blood Glucose increase with D-10; funny thing his wife was 10 minutes behind his phone. She kept calling to tell me I was letting him die, when his phone and my glucometer both said it was going up.

In EMT Basic class we were interested, so 3 or 4 of us that had pretty steady BP's everyday, had our pressure checked with different sized cuffs 10 classes in a row. Most varied for 2 or 4 points. Mine pretty much was the same all the time, 90/50 range

Wow; talk about long transport times

oops

We get that a lot at my part time job; They are drunk and unresponsive, until after 1-2 L of fluid and time they are sobering up and don't want to go to the hospital anymore. We tell them we have to take them all the way, but they don't have to stay until they are checked in. We don't get paid...

My old fire department in Indianapolis paid my way through basic class, and I had to give them 2 years, at 96 hours a month. Anyway I wanted to work it: 2 -- 6 hour shifts during the day and 1 -- 12 hour shift at night: 0700-1300, 1300-1900, or 1900-0700. Back when they were all volunteer...
