I'm typing from my phone, which accounts for the spelling, sorry! The attitude of the new, I see it all the time but not just from younger people, but I could see how that could be attributed to anyone newer to EMS. Obviously I'm not as qualified as someone who's been doing this longer, I would...
Thank you, now I feel like I'm not the only one, but I'm a week away from being done with the training, I've given it some thought, I just want a small kit with the ESSENTIALS, gloves, 4 x4 , tape..ect
I get the fact that you more seasoned people think us newbies are toally nieve. But that's not how it is , I understand I'm not going to be fully caring for someone, but should the need arise in a less urgent situation. And one last thing don't belittle me for my age, I'm going to be just as...
I'm finishing my EMT class and want to get a kit going, I know a lot of people don't carry kits in their cars, but I want to I'm a certified EMR so I'm going to start riding soon . So my question, what do you carry in your personal kit that gets used a lot? Also what inch tape do you find most...
In CT you only have to be 16 by the time the class ends to get an EMT-B, my class ends at the end of August and my Birthday is August 2nd so Im all set! we dont have many young EMT’s in my area but suddenly it’s picked up. I wish my high school paid but i paid for it with money i had saved and...
I have changed my mind, I don’t want to show up with a Cardiology III and look like an idiot! Anyway it doesn’t seem like its really needed, sounds like any good Littmann will do, such as the Classic II SE. My birthday is coming up so I’m going to see if I can get away with getting it as a...
Did you ever actually use the bell side? I just feel like its useless, I know it’s used for lower tones but if the diaphragm is tunable then what’s the point?
I’ve had this cheap scope for a few months because everyone said to start cheap, which I agree with, but we’ve done all the skills and nows the time to upgrade even just a little. As far as Littmann’s go how is the Classic II S.E.? ' the only other one I’m interested in even though it doesn't...
JPINFV,
Thanks for the input! Like I said what I have now just isn’t cutting it for me. My instructor bought in many scopes, the Cardiology III amoung them, and I just took to it very quickly which is why I’m thinking about buying one. If not this scope which would you suggest?
Hi everyone,
I’m just finishing my EMT-B training, I’m currently an EMR (also called an MRT or First Responder), and am going to begin riding with a service soon. I have a Sprague Rappaport-type stethoscope and absolutely hate it, the tubes clank together and the way it fits in your ears...
