I've had the same problem on two different computers

Hi everyone. I'm sure this thread will open up a huge hornet's nest, however, I just have to say that all the bashing of bls providers is getting a little old already. I have not been a member here for very long but have noticed that somebody is always turning the original posters question into...

Hi Steve_, welcome to the site and good in your paramedic program.

Good luck with medic class. I applied in Feb. and will take entrance exams sometime this summer.:):)

Gee Rid, I think they wanted to have a good laugh with this one and you burst their bubble (gum center). lol:P:P:)

The president of our service was driving home from a transfer at about 02:30 when she hit a black angus cow that was standing in the middle of the road. There were two emt's in the front and one sleeping on the cot. Fortunateley nobody was hurt. The rig however sustained a sizeable amount of...

Well we have something in common then. I live in Dallas..........S.D. Probably the deadest town in S.D. except during pheasant season:D:D

Welcome to the site neighbor. There is a lot of good info coming from alot of experience on this forum. Where in MN is Morgan? I am from SD.

JPINFV & skyemt Thanks alot for the research info, it sure gives a person something to think about which was what I was looking for. I thought there might be some comments in support of the device though, lol. I will keep researching the device to possibly save the service a ton of money...

Our area is very rural with only about 250 calls a year. The last year we have had about 6 codes. We use GPS on our cell phones but the problem is that our rural 911 addresses have not been mapped yet therefore GPS does not recognize the addresses. The Zoll Auto-Pulse costs about $15,000. I...

I don't do SAR but I would think that splinting a fractured arm or leg, treatment for hypothermia and/or frostbite, lacerations or abrasions, even altered mental status due to hypoglycemia or dehydration would all be possibilities if a person were to be trapped or lost somewhere that required a...

Yeah, I know. I trust a salesman about as far as I can throw them. This is why I posted the question here to ask those that have used it or seen it used. The reason we are looking into the device is because CPR is difficult and dangerous in the back of a moving ambulance or while "riding the...

During the week it is a free for all as alot of people work out of town. When the pagers go off we are to call in to the hospital to get our info and...

The ambulance service that I vol. with is looking into getting a Zoll Auto Pulse. The sales rep came out and did a demo on Annie and threw his sales pitch. It all looked and sounded pretty good but I thought I would ask for opinions from all of you that use the device in the field. Does it have...

I agree that the Basic class is probably to short, however, where I am from all of the EMT's are vollie with full time jobs. It is somewhat difficult to juggle work, class and family at the same time. It is already difficult to recruit EMT's out here let alone making the class longer. The...

In a trauma situation the clothes are usually cut off at the scene to allow a visual of dcap-btls during the rapid trauma assessment. For a seizure I would not have cut the clothes off unless the patient complained of pain in a certain area. A fall from a standing position or sitting in a chair...

That was a good movie.
