Every time some random thing goes careening off of my glasses lens I'm glad I wear them. Every time they fog up, get prints, or rain on them, I despise wearing them. Saving up for laser heat vision. I can always wear clear/tinted glasses afterward.

I had both a classmate and a coworker that have scars from when they got a sternal rub when the rubber didn't remove their ring. Both of them women and neither happy about the scars on their chests. I stick with a trap pinch myself.

I'm still looking for a left handed turkey baster myself.

You can also google for JB Learning's current coupon codes. I used JBALL2 to get 25% off for the navigate 2 test prep. I'm going to give it a try since it is so highly recommended.

Definitely look into budgeting software, once you get rolling you'll always know how much you need and for what. Don't forget to contribute towards your retirement, and start early, because you can't catch up later. I recommend YNAB (you need a budget)

Edit to above: meant abbreviations, not acronyms, just in case there is any confusion :confused:

Thanks for your input! I'm going to setup a small meeting because there are a few conflicting requirements making an "appropriate" CC difficult at times, including not using acronyms in CCs, CCs must be an exact match between PCR and ePCR, but with very limited space on the paper chart (I've...

Our billing department is getting a little iffy about chief complaints, paraphrased "because ICD-10". Our company policy is that the CC on our ePCR must match our paper chart PCR exactly. Both are required by our billing department, and yes we end up charting in duplicate and triplicate. But...

We had a user or two awhile back that stated they were very familiar with the billing/insurance/CMS side of EMS, I was wondering if anyone with that pedigree was still hanging around here? Anyone that actually submits charts to insurance for reimbursement?
