It’s a moot point. I switched my agency to Zoll.

We just bought our HazMat truck from a builder in Washington state. We paid a guy to drive it out to PA for us. He stopped and took pics at the tourist spots along the way.

It was the day my CT Cert arrived in the mail. Person down. Turned out to be a dead person. Had been dead for several days. Welcome to EMS.

I’ve been pretty fascinated by the role AI is starting to play in healthcare. I use it regularly—mostly for data analysis, spotting trends, and cleaning up or rewriting complicated documents that need to be sharp and accurate. AI’s strength really lies in its ability to synthesize the...

It is…but it’s really nice. We even have one of those nugget ice makers. I’m spoiled.

We went whole hog and bought a pull behind camper. Hot showers, a king size bed, AC and an air fryer really make a difference.

I tarp every load.

My kid took a ball to the face in field hockey. Bled like a stuck pig. The best skill I used was navigating the ED and getting my friends to take care of her quickly. Knowing all the ED staff paid off.

Wow. I remember you. Glad you made it.

When I worked for the regional office that processed certifications for new providers and for those entering the state needing reciprocity, the National Registry served as the gateway into the system. If you finished a class, you had to complete the National Registry to get certified. If you...

I am a pretty experienced EMS instructor and I have some advice… 1- purchase the Dan Limmer EMTpass and use the simulated NREMT exam as a diagnostic tool to determine where you are weak. 2- use the test prep strategically to shore up your weak areas. 3- take another diagnostic exam to see how...
