To start, I know a lot of people feel that POVs shouldn't have emergency lights, and I, for the most part, am in agreement. However, the rescue squad I am joining requires me to have lights in my Jeep. So now that I covered that, lets get to the actual question:
Does anyone have a...
Does anyone know a good website with EMS clipboards like the kind nurses use that have a "cheat sheet" with information such as normal vital signs ranges, GCS, APGAR, and other somewhat hard to remember stuff?
I have heard (in passing) about an extension course (like TEMS or WEMT/WALS) in off-shore (for working on ships/oil rigs, etc.) medicine for EMTs or medics. Has anyone heard of this or know what organizations offer this kind of training?
Should EMS providers be allowed to carry some sort of weapon if properly trained to do so? Why or why not?
I'm not talking pocket knives and maglites. OC spray, collapsible batons, tasers, firearms, swords, hand grenades, etc.
