Yeah, go for it. I'm smarter than all you raggedy old people anyway. kthxbye

I had no trouble reading this.

At my company basics start at $13.25/hour and medics at around $16/hour. I think the nature of a job should determine the pay, not the level of education needed to obtain it. There are tons of jobs that require less education than an EMT-Basic yet pay a lot more. I really don't feel that...

I am definitely considering doing my medic through them, as they are the closest option to me by far (other than Northeastern but I can only imagine how much they'd charge.) Do you have any idea if they are doing the program next year?

Does anybody have any good tips for estimating blood loss in a trauma patient?

I use my own GPS, but only for things such as long distance transfers and emergencies in areas that I am not fully familiar with. It is a good tool to have, but I only use it when I need to.

Maybe he just really wanted to see what was in the back of that truck.

I meant the Basic program.

Knowing Northeastern it probably costs $5000.

How many runs do you do in a day? An 8 hour shift averages about 5 calls. So far this year our company has done about 14000 calls. 911 or non-emergency? ALS or BLS? BLS, 911 and non-emergency. What kind of shift(s) do you work? I work an 8 hour shift on Tuesday and Thursday, then a 24 on...

Yeah...there was really no need to cut off all of your clothes. Or any of them, really.

Well, since I do not have the means or training to test for any of the diseases, infections, or toxins that can cause paralysis, my course of action would be to bring them to a hospital. If it wasn't trauma related, not really much I could do. And if it was, board 'em. And of course, examine...
