Newtown Ambulance (transports starting off) Levittown-Fairless Hills EMS, Yardley-Makefield EMS are just a few. Those except for LFHRS are near the central end of Bucks. Where may I ask are you? I am in Bristol / near the Philly border. These are from experience and what I have seen...

Good question. I have 13 years in P.A. as a medic. I have seen 20+ year medics that were total toolbags when it came to medicine and have also seen 2 year medics that I would let treat my mom. We have all seen really good students / medic interns that had book knowledge and were lost on the...
At least in P.A....First we don't go straight to Lasix. We start serial NTG's with 1 off the bat followed by 3 if the pressure is still over 180 systolic. Thats besides the point. Also in P.A., we use Etomidate (not at the 2 squads I work because the M.D. does not like the profile by itself /...
