I love my vapo rub, I use it all occasionally (mainly just rotting body parts) and it works wonders for me. It's just a matter of putting it on before you smell anything bad.

Being an EMT-b, I don't make much, I knew that going into the field. I always have people telling me, "why don't you do something that pays better". I however see it as I love to do this, when i'm on a unit working, it doesn't even seem like work for me, so whatever money I do get from it is an...

My kit on my belt with all my sheers, Vics Vapo rub, a little flip note book, gum, wallet, cell phone, and gloves. :)

I wasn't implying you can't do anything without equipment, just not much without equipment.

There is really not much anyone can do without proper equipment. I've been in this situation, and unfortunately had nothing at my disposal. It sucks, especially if you know what to do and what you need for the particular scenario.

I used fisdap, and just read my book over and over again. I failed the first time at 120 then passed with the same, 120. Just keep your head up and go over your textbook, you wont find a much better source then your textbook :)

Yeah I had him on his side. I was just curious if there was any different between left Lat. recumb, or the right side like the dispatch said.

I agree with fire, if they do have a valid DNR I would not resuscitate, if they are getting hostile, move the patient to the unit and call PD. California is pretty stern on DNR's as well as local protocols, you have to take those into effect.

Yes, focal.

Okay right on. It just made me wonder why I wasn't sure to do, maybe because ive never been on a call of a ped with a seizure. Not sure, I was calm but just puzzled.

Also not sure why the 911 dispatch said right side rather than the left, not sure if that makes a difference or not.

I'm an emt-b and this happened recently (I currently work at this store awaiting a job for the ambulance service in my county, so I have only put an honest 24 hours in the field so I'm not used to real life scenes yet) So a 4 year old at the store is sitting in the cart seat and starts to...

1st 120 fail 2nd 120 pass

Hahaha, yeah I didnt look at it that way, The C is the first letter of my name and Stock is part of my last name, so yeah xD

Haha, well ya know. I didnt over study to the point where I was forgetting stuff. I used the book that I got during my class the AAOS Emergency orange book, it seemed to be a pretty good book. Also what I learned is just go with your gut instinct and be as basic as possible. I usually tend to...

I passed!

Take 2 is on Wednesday. Feeling a little better.

Thanks, I'm feeling pretty confident this time around.

Well on a side note from you both, I'm retaking it next week. So I hope for the best.
