You take them off of the board. It's actually quite simple.

As long as you wear your safety vest, you'll be protected from all dangers.

I got hired by a hospital and I'm only 18 and straight out of high school with my EMT. You should be fine.

Are barrier pants like bunker gear?

I don't wear any of the crap I have to wear at work unless if I have to or it is the warmest option. I think the whole tactical look looks stupid, and I hate looking like I'm searching for attention. Plus, I like my regular clothes better. Only exception is t-shirts, mainly because it's easier...

You did not screw up. You would've screwed up if you started needlessly giving them the Heimlich or grabbed out the suction unit. Relax and take a sip of water without choking on it.

Does that mean I can finally take a board home so I can use it as a sled? I've always wanted to throw that special someone down on one and push them down a mountain in the winter.

Do you have friends that'll let you practice skills on them? There's nothing better to do than practice. I would practice the trauma, medical, and splinting sections at home. I aced my practicals with no hiccups. The written is easy if you study. I used an app called EMTutor, and seriously can...

Well, he did lie about heart disease and "leg cancer", working as a firefighter, being an Army Ranger Combat Medic, and the like. Funniest thing is that he called me a liar.

Whacker, Ricky Rescue, or what ever term you use, is a very subjective term that really depends on the person defining it. However, it's a mentality, not a particular thing you do. A whacker, in my eyes, is someone who is in this field not for patients or adventure, but for titles and self...

Hello everyone. I'm looking for a subdued MA EMT patch for my collection. They're pretty hard to come by. If you have one you can spare for a decent price, please contact me.

I was still in school when I got my NREMT. I think you'll be fine.

Well, what was in your PCR?

Now who here is salty enough to be Woody Harrelson? And can we get Bill freaking Murray in on it?

Maybe we can make an official EMTlife movie, like Zombieland?

just in case no one got the reference

Responded to Pt location. Pt appears to have been eating a pancake. Two detectives enter, lay the Pt down, and perform a field trach. Attempt fails, but Pt coughs up pancake piece. Paramedic unit from your agency arrives and takes care of Pt while proceeding to scold detectives. Partner and I...

I keep a day pack with basic care and hiking supplies, like trauma pads, gauze, tape, splinting materials (w/ a SAM splint), PPE, basic tools like trauma sheers, stethoscope, basic medications (Tums, Tylenol, and some ointments for rashes), and more. However, I'm not Ricky Rescue. I go off road...

He's 16. He'll end up going to the hospital on his own. You're fine. Hell, you did more than many people would. You gave the kid aid, you offered him a ride to the hospital, and you didn't force care down his throat. Feel good.

Hello everyone. I'm working on building my resume so I can start the job search process. I'm trying to learn how to make one. I've got the general idea, but due to a lack of actual employment experience, I'm lost as to what is worth including and what is obvious fluff. I've got a lot of...
