    Scene not safe- why do you still enter?

    Alan, if you choose to leave, nobody will judge you for that. But to judge others is almost amusing. I sure hope that your snowflake is built into a beautiful snowman.

    Scene not safe- why do you still enter?

    As someone who was there in the midst of it all. It became evident what was happening, just not where the shots were coming from relatively quickly. I chose to stay inside and help, as did a lot of active and retired first responders and military. I fault nobody for choosing to leave even those...

    Can I become an EMT with an arrest record?

    I'll be that guy. Based on your statements you show no remorse for your actions and think it was not a big deal. It seems as though you've done it before and this is the only time you've been caught. You're biggest regret seems to be that it might effect a job or career you want to pursue. Just...

    Determining which type of EMT cert to get

    If being able to do everything on the spot without being asked for a medic is what you're going for. The answer is stay a basic, but you have to earn the experience to learn. Which comes with time and repetition, and from what you've said, you don't have the time to put in to do that. It's not...

    Is hitting 90 mph transporting L&S on interstate acceptable?

    Aside from who has started this thread, I'll bring up a point people always tend to forget, tire ratings. Most truck tires are not rated to 100 mph and that's on a vehicle that is not loaded down with a box on the back, or even the weight of a type 2 rig. You start hitting speeds above 80 mph...

    Charged with stalking and harassment (misdemeanors), will this effect my career?

    If she was 16 and you 20, whether the sex is legal or not, that relationship is wrong. 4 years isn't much of an age difference when she's 21 and you 25. 16 and 20 though is largely different, and you are at completely different life stages and mental states. The father had every reason to step...

    What would be your best advice?

    I disagree, if we were all adults we wouldn't be afraid of upsetting our parents with life decisions. We would move out and do our own thing, and live our own lives.

    Is ems not for me?

    Don't just push buttons for BPs, even discharges, get out your stethoscope and cuff and manually take a pressure, make it a habit and easy to do. Those patients in a bad mood, talk to them, try to put them in a better mood. Its a perfect time to practice your communications skills. Don't take...

    EMS and Relationships

    No relationship will ever work for you if you are always looking at stats. Relationships are hard and take effort. If you go into every relationship looking at how things won't work out, they won't. And who the hell decides their chance of divorce is great in the beginning of a relationship, get...

    STEMI call. Lights & sirens. Dispatch problem.

    When you notify your dispatch you're transporting how difficult is it to say its code 3. I hate a lot of the things dispatch wants to know, but transporting code 3 is reasonable to inform them of.
