Bound to happen sooner or later, might as well be now. Seems like reaper and lights&sirens said it best, pay now or pay later. Insurance pays out or the tax payer does. Either way, somebody is gonna have to wet their beak.

My sentiments exactly, madam. :D

Man, let me tell you. I feel the same way. I'm not new to this game, going on seven years now, and the people I've met that you are referring to used to make me cringe. But now I've adopted a more Eastern way of thinking. As a Dudeist I can now look at a squirrel and say without hesitation...

"I assume these are policies that are written somewhere so, I will take your word for it. Just never heard of the DEA allowing open carrying of narcs by any agency in the past. A gluc box isn't what I would consider secure. Kinda like having a PEZ container for vicodin." Yeah, well, that's...

LoL Yeah, at a few of my other jobs we could fit our narcs in an old Altoid tin. That was before everybody switched to the Carpuject style vials. It worked like a charm, believe it or not. Heck, at my last place of employment we were issued our narcs in a M&M Minis tube. I kid you not. Talk...

Gotta' love those "low sick" nursing home calls, eh Ta? lol

FAR OUT! Finally, an avenue to run my dog down !lol Im going to start my investigation toot suite.

My sincerest apologies for my assumption involving your gender, ma'am. I in no way meant for it to be an insult to either you or your significant other. As for the "unsecured narcs" statement, I'll try and relay to you the way it has been put towards my queries along the same vein in the past...

Preach that gospel truth, my delta brother! Lord knows, you and I both have had enough back problems from just doing the everyday EMS stuff. You know, lifting 400lb buffarillas that just can't seem to manage themselves out to the ambulance after meeting you at the door with their suitcases...

Insanity is only viewed as such when it isn't the norm, my good man. And I'm curious to know what job field you have had the pleasure of being involved with that wasn't filled with a plethora of "Catch 22's" and bureaucratic mish-mash to drive those of us more logically inclined thinkers to want...

Yeah, obviously I didn't make this one point clear. The Glucagon case I'm using right now? That is what my employer provided. And while I was filled with the same righteous indignation and furious anger at their paltry attempt to provide a protective vessel for the aforementioned narcotics as...

I was wondering if anyone out there could recommend a good, pocket-sized carrying case for narcotic ampules/vials. At the moment, I'm working for a company that requires medics to carry their issued narcs on their person while on duty, as opposed to a unit mounted safe. Now, at the moment I'm...

Lets see,... "Duffy", 'cause of my propensity to duff one off the tee. So I'm Duffy, man. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Duffness, or uh, Duffer, or El Dufferino if you're not into the whole brevity thing. Or for street cred The Hip-Hop Hippotamus(because my lyrics are...

One of the things usually best learned through personal experimentation, choice of "marking stick" is one of those things they don't teach in a paramedic/basic book. I've spent countless dollars on various brands and styles. Here are my top picks: For triplicate carbons, go with a ball point...

Use to work in a lab as a phlebotomist. Let me tell you, these things SUCK the left one. Don't waste the time or money.

Nothing but my BlackBerry. I hate, with a burning passion, carrying things on my belt or in my pockets. So, I invested in an attache case ( and just for the record it is not a man purse.:glare:) I keep everything I could possibly need while pulling a 12, 24, or 48 hour shift. But for posting...

Aww, shucks Mikey. You're making me blush:blush:. Thanks for everybody's posts. Like I said, it has been bothering me for a bit and I figured this was as good as any place to get a little more feedback on the subject. And let me tell y'all, it was very helpful.

[/I]I hoped that I answered most of the variables that were associated with this little episode. I hope it helps with the problem solving. Thanks guys.

Possible. But tube placement was confirmed twice by x-rays. One right after intubation, and one right before extubation. Your guess is as good as mine. Thanks for the post.

Hey there, . I'm writing cause I seek an opinion on an intubation I performed about five months ago. First a little background on myself : I'm pretty much fresh out of medic school. I've been on the job for close to 5 months now, was doing my orientation ride time before they cut me loose on a...
