good one These calls suck. First, I would have to verify that the possible doa is in fact the female who is listed on the DNR sheet as the person who doesn't want to be "brought back". As I, or my partner would be assessing the pt, I would talk with the son for any type of identification on...

I do agree, I have seen many times, many new people run in, almost with empty hands, then, one has to run back out for supplies. How dumb. The ones I was refering to were possibly non-breathing infants and/or children. If it was trauma related, one of us stayed back to gather necessary c-spine...

you know, the one comming up in Culumbus, oh is going to have the dark haired co-star. I dont remember which on he is, my brain is fried right now

I have a really dumb question and I think you cant help me. On my profile, my pict is there, but then I get a failed to upload error? I have tried this several different ways. Am I missing something retarded?? Sorry, new to this.

In our district, #1 No brainer-We would be asked to stage back until the scene was safe. #2 - Structure fire - Fire and Hazmat - Police & EMS cannot enter until they are told it is safe! #3 - Multilple mva with gasoline leak - Again 1st in would be Fire dept and Hazmat. Untill scene safe...

Everyone dies, eventually The hardest question to answer. When it's a child asking, I never tell them yes, I alway am honest when something is going to hurt and explain everything we do and why, and sometimes let them help (obviously not critical) like hold this ice pack for me here...

No, the best show was Emergency! I loved it and that's what I wanted to do when I grew up. And, there's the classic movie "Mother, Juggs and Speed"

Hey, 911 guy, I worked with a medic who was on 911 for saving a kid trapped under ice in a pond. It was like 20-30 under, he got her back. It was pretty cool.

Well, in most cases running makes you look like an idiot, especially when you fall or stumble, my nickname was Miss Congeniality, from the tripping, to dripping food, having a backup gun for my back up and then always carrying at least two knives, ya a little obsessive, i know. However, there...

You making fun of my writing? Or is that a misunderstanding? The reference about the Winnie the Pooh books??

first, what is your goal? to gain medical experience to become more knowledgeable in the medical field. 2. Liaison is the correct spelling i believe 3. If you put a period at the end-make sure it is a complete sentence, also use 24/7 instead of 24x7 4. Keep consistancy with your...

Sorry, my bad, was muti-tasking. Yes, D50 is by IV, never IM, My mistake sorry for the confusion. It just blows my mind, that we have had even a physician at a statcare give a semi-conscious pt an oral glucose tablet and left the room. The pt's level was low 40's, I looked at my partner, and had...

Butt Pucker [INDENTWell, he was handcuffed upon our arrival and had never, in 6 years, had any issues of anyone not being padded down, especially for a violent crime. Second, they are not allowed to follow us except to the county line, which is only half way. [INDENT]If we needed help, there...

Transporting critical Had 4th infant code in 5 months, there were three of us in the back, on the way to the hospital, bad T-bone, between counties, nobody on scene, not even PD, I asked boss, slow down, dump me out with jump bag, I'll to rapid triage and put bistanders to work until squads get...

Ya I've taken 3, same vehicle, drunk father looking for drunk wife middle of night with a 3 year old and a 5 year old-head on into a tree. The 3 year old was in a carseat, not a scratch, 5 year old had possible internal and head injuries and the dad was drunk, enough said.

can't disclose that information, I can hower, give you the same person different call. She was used to working in a facility to faclity unit, has been a medic for years, and sub up for us when we are short on people (sick, leave, vacations). The other squad was already on a call, We were toned...

oh trust me, there were sooo many days you got to grab breakfast, which was an apple juice, donut or a banana, and that sometimes didn't happen till 10 or 11 pm

this was in reference to already having 1 pt on board and stopping to pick up a couple more. We had a military squad that would hold 4 backboarded pts plus one on the cot. unless mci and low priority, calls for questionable service. I understand being that far away from help, but the original pt...

Whatever you do-don't get hooked on fast food. It's a fast track for your stomach to touch the steering wheel while you drive to the call and crack kills. (refereing to butt crack) Our hospitals usually have fresh fruit, juice, soda (try not to get hooked) but a good caffine kick at 2 am gets...
