At just after 6:00 PM MT, I set eyes on my NREMT EMT-B card for the first time. I know many here are already beyond that, and nearly everyone has years of experience already, but I've got to say, it was quite a feeling, opening that envelope knowing what was in it. Now to start the jobhunting...

First off, PLEASE don't take this thread seriously! I'd love to mount loudspeakers on the side of the rig (especially if it's a helicopter) and start playing Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries on the way to a scene (or ER). Yes, this was mentioned back in '08 in a thread about theme music...

Ran a search for "scene safety", got over 500 hits, so am posting fresh. Firstly, I know how much we have scene safety drilled into us during training, and why. An injured EMT/Medic is of no use to anyone, and a burden to at least one other on a scene. Secondly, I am not at all interested...

I did the first of my 3 clinical rotations yesterday, a 12-hour shift aboard an AMR ambulance (the other 2 will be ER shifts). Hearing the siren come on was really no big deal. The rush hit when I first made contact with the patients. We had 6 or 7 calls, the last of which was a significant...

First, I did do a search and did not find a previous thread quite like this one, though I did see it mentioned in one post during the Atheist thread. I got into a discussion with an appreciable # of my classmates and was somewhat surprised to learn that we could all be called "misanthropes"...

Apologies if this has been asked before, or if it (re)opens a can of worms. How different does actual field work tend to be from what is taught/learned in the classroom? I'm skeptical that the theory would even apply most of the time, much less all the time. As a frame of reference, our...

Where in the User CP does one go to add a sig line? Have looked through there and can't seem to find a place to do that. Thanks

I am nearing completion of EMT-B training, and one particular thought keeps running through my head. I've never been one to want attention, or be in the spotlight. I'm not at all interested in fame, and for the most part, I'm content to just watch the world go by. I've already been through...

Hello, all. Found this site while searching for scenarios with my EMT-B study group yesterday, it got our attention pretty quick. Looking forward to joining in on the discussions.
