Probably a mad scram trying to find medical services for those areas. Yikes!

^^Those two are good.

Ha yeah that's why I ended up giving the whole routine on my last post.. I figured the answer would be in it. Not sure if you have all the equipment I do at my gym, but here's my core workout: -I run a couple miles or bike beforehand. -Decline bench leg raises with dumbbells between...

Honestly I think there is something about this field.. The rush of going on calls, to help the public, and yes the glory. We don't do it for the money because of obvious reasons. For me, I just love the feeling of helping people. Sorry I only felt like answering the first question.

The ladies.

Thanks to all of you!

Not quite sure what you mean. If it were me I'd do: Monday is Chest/Shoulders/Triceps: -Bench Press -Military Press -Flat Fly -Seated Lat Raises -Shrug -Push ups (Three sets to failure) -Rear Delts (Put the bench on incline, sit with chest on bench, take two light dumbbells and go...

Awesome! I think all I meant by changing the back workout was adding the bicep curls at the end of it. Legs look good to me! Let me know how the workouts go, I'm trying to get knowledgeable in fitness :)

Hey man, I'll give you my advice on it! Overall I really like it, but feel like it could be tweaked just a tad. Your leg and back workouts seem pretty spot on but I will probably change some things. However, why not combine the chest and shoulder days into one? For me anyways, chest and...

I'm glad you weren't grossed out by the GI bleed! Haha that's cool you're pursuing your EMT certification. I got mine last January at 19 years old.. Joined a department as a volunteer and absolutely love it. I'm going through the advanced EMT course now. Maybe you could pursue that after you...

Yeah man like what everyone is saying. I'm not sure how old you are, but I just turned 20 and got my EMT-B certification at the beginning of 2013. I've never had any confidence. Things that have happened in my personal life etc.. I had a ton of friends in high school and was popular, but...

Yeah it was a long one! I shouldn't say straight driving, as we did stop for fuel twice and a couple rest areas. The night before I did another local transfer, and was tired from that as well. I've also come really close in my POV. Didn't get to that point on the transfer, but got to the...

I keep seeing on news sites like EMS1.com etc.. ambulances that have gotten in terrible car accidents. EMT's ending up in critical condition or worse. What causes it? I know for the most part the crashes are caused by other drivers, but could having a tired driver play a part in it? I did my...

I don't really see a point in taking a fire science class if you're strictly going into EMS. Basic fire knowledge is great for anyone to have however. Another point to consider would be would you ever one day want to go fire and EMS? If you obtained your firefighter I, so many more doors...

Hey Audrey, yours and Halo's kind of go hand in hand. Another part of my problem is watching the lectures in the living room with headphones on, but while my family is watching TV. I'll get out of there and try a different spot. Thanks for the tips!

Ding, ding, ding. I think you hit the nail on the head there. After reading through that, I think you're right. I read the difficult subject matter, and my mind begins to wander in another direction and I end up getting little done. I'll go buy a spiral notebook and try your note writing in...

I'll start off by saying I'm taking the Advanced EMT course online. I work two part time jobs - one in an office and one for my department so I don't have the time to go to an actual classroom for the course. The class is laid out by each chapter and the AAOS book. Each chapter has the...

I agree with everyone else. Seatbelt is a given, but I think everyone here has forgotten a time or two in their lives right? Do you drive ever? If he's in that seat, drive like he does or rig it so he can't wear his and then write him up :) Actually don't do that. That wouldn't be good.

The person above me hits on the nurses at the hospital!
