We have the super antimicrobial foaming spray at my company, for stains i spray some on the inside of my uniform and "shoot" out the stain. Hold it right up to it and spray it through the cloth.
Tide to go pen works great for food stains.
I dislike drunks. I had a drunk guy punch through a window w/big bloody lac on his arm. I get to him and he starts spitting blood at me. Screw that, scene safety. PD puts a spit mask on him. Get him packaged and in the back and he the vomits all over the back of my rig. Took me 2 hours over my...
My favorite restaurant told me thanks and gives me half off in uniform. It might just be because he likes me and I go there 5 times a week no joke. They have a bomb chicken salad...
The course I took was private, and my class was class #1 for the program so we were defiantly guinea pigs. When I actually got out into the field I had to learn quite a few things by trial by fire. I will say you dont learn to be an EMT until you work as an EMT.
Call came in as an OD. Get on scene and PD already has a 22 yo male in cuffs butt naked sitting in his living room. PT saying things like "Show me the sky I want to see the angels." Pt would only admit to smoking weed and when asked anything else he would go back to speaking about the clouds and...
Standard EMT/NREMT questions. If you dont pass the written in the beginning of the test day you dont interview later in the day. Dont be that guy. Interview is all situational questions ("How have you taken control of a hectic situations?" etc) no ems interview questions. Skills are usually...
I have not decided which system is more efficient LA responding code 3 everywhere, or OC responding code 2 almost everywhere (did have exception today for depression dunno why).
I can tell you which is more fun though!
The only company I haven't heard bad things about is Pacific. If you truly do have a choice I'd go with them. Other than that work anywhere that will take you.
I never post in this thread but I need to vent a little right now. So I am in Cabo on vacation for 5 days and today someone pulled a 7 year old boy out of the pool. He was AOx0, pulseless and had aspirated alot of water. When I got to the kid he had been down for 3 minutes already with people...
I am sorry for your loss. I know I am new to this thread but please let me know if there is anything I can do via the internets to help.
So I have finally come to the realization that I am a white cloud. I had my 6th FTO shift today, 2nd consecutive 8 hour shift without a call. I just want...
I must be the only Kings fan in this thread. If you would have told me in January this is where my team would be I would have laughed at you. GO KINGS!
Hi everybody, ive been lurking for awhile in this thread so I thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself. Ive been an EMT for almost a year and I just got a job in Socal at a 911 company. Looking forward to the experience Im going to get and lots of downtime to post in this forum! I am...
I had a similar situation happen to me. I was hired by Doctors Ambulance where I wanted to get 911 experience for medic school in the future. Thankfully I got hired before I signed my Pacific offer. I just emailed them and was very polite thanking them so the opportunity, they were also very...
