From my experience when they work, they're an asset. The last 6 full arrests I've been on there has been a Zoll Autopulse on scene. And it has failed to work each and every time. I'm not sure why, it's not my equipment, but it always ends up sucking up a bunch of time, energy, and effort that...

I've also encountered stations that forgot that a red light on the porch meant "fire" and not the other "red light" connotation. :rofl:

I would pay money for pictures and a station number! lol :lol:

EMS personnel, me included, are the only ones I've ever interacted with that were either happy to not have badges, or happy to get rid of them, when and if it happened. I remember a conversation with a fire captain who thought I was crazy that I was happy that we'd gotten rid of badges at my...

Not digging on you. I know you're just playing the game. It's just the ego game I dislike. I see no need for an "arsechewing," when a professionally and mutually respectful conversation of concern should happen.

This must be LA county, because caring what a fire captain has to say just does not compute with me. Just one more example of the backwards world of California, and LA county in particular.

This is amazing! Also, I don't want to go back to work. Can't I just take a permanent vacation?

Sounds like BS. No legit company or business person would operate like that. I bet he's used to getting away with crap like this because he usually deals with new/young providers that he can take advantage of. (not trying to imply anything)

Indeed they are. For the better I suppose, even though it was fun for the crews. At around the same time I also saw a Redlands unit with a bead curtain over the door between patient compartment and cab which was nicely accented with a cow-pattern furry steering wheel cover. :rofl:

Last time I saw that unit, someone had replaced the standard sized letters with ones twice the size on the back window. This was some time ago, however.

And because there is still a little teenager in me...I am a boy after all...My wife is in room 420. har har har At least she doesn't have a PE...it's weird to just have left upper lobe pneumonia (by my understanding). I always was taught that it should more commonly be located in the lower lobes.

Blowdart Versed...I would be so happy!

Can't forget about this. As an, EMS I have seen enough crazy naked people, so no thank you :rofl:

Got to go to the ED twice in one week, and not as a provider. My wife went is for SOB and fever, ends up having some nasty left lung pneumonia left over from an episode 7 weeks ago that decided to go nasty...and to top it off? Her D dimmer is elevated too, so now I'm hoping for a negative read...

I've been known to play movies for my patients during longer IFTs. I just don't serve peanuts.

I have no idea, sry.

This. So going off the top of my head for NREMT I'd reckon that: Assessments Airway (BVM, OPA, NPA) Oxygen tank, mask, cannula Spinal immob traction splint bleeding control and... CPR and AED If you're a medic I'd then look at the ALS stuff (duh) ACLS, PALS, ECG, 12-lead and ALS Airway...

What a cutie! That's some strong work. Congrats!
