I did not see a thread about FR/EMR in quite some time so if I missed something, I am sorry. I am trying to find an EMR or FR Instructor Class either online or traditional setting. They seem hard to find especially with the 2013 changes. Does anyone have any ideas on where to look? AHA seems...

Has anyone in here had any experience with the Grant process with Masimo for the RAD-57? How did it go? Feedback would be great and thanks.

My school of thought is this when it comes to flying cardiac arrests of any etiology. I preface this by saying by ground/air the nearest level II is 20/10 minutes away. Nearest level I is 30/15 respectively. With the lucas device in place, effective compression can be done during any part of...

Asked this question in Medic Class and got a shrugged shoulder answer. You are treating a pt. who is having an AMI, confirmed with your 12-lead. You give your pt. nitro with the hopes of dilating the coronary arteries...among other things/reasons as well. The pt. goes into cardiac arrest...

If this a dupe I am sorry, a search yielded nothing. I called it TCCC since that is my source. I am a big fan of the CAT and Combat Gauze. 14 years in EMS can think of 2 times where a CAT could have made a difference... Combat Gauze less than 5 times. Still I think these two things everyone...

You know one call I had this guy whose was a belted driver vs a tree and he had an open femur fracture. Squad had to push the dash and pop the door. Mind u I was only BLS... he was not doing to bad all things considered. It was a pain to get a hare on him but I did and he felt a lot better...

So you all are okay with a Medical School Resident, who specializes in Family Medicine, to be a Paramedic without taking the class! How absurd is that! Knowledge wise yes, can hack it but what about skills, basic skills like spinal immobilization, splinting... to say nothing about ALS Skills...

Once again Doctor Kiwi Brown with all the answers!

I don't know a whole lot about the mills but in looking around I have formed an opinion. One clearly would benefit more from a full year like course than a mill. If a person is a Basic and wants to become a Medic, a mill would be the last place to go. I agree a mill is 100% fast food. That...

See all this doubt about me, my skills, knowledge, and abilities. Now we can add to the list a conspiracy theorist, a guy who does not care about patients and just wants money, somebody looking for short cuts to get to that payday, a jerk who thinks he deserves a second because he completed a...

Maybe I am starting to give in to what has been told to me on this forum. I am not giving up but looking for a plan B. Given the fact I have ticked off most on here, this next question should continue to do the same... Medic Mills and other like terms, anybody know of any? May not be the...

Can someone answer this question with an intelligent response and not drama? Taking in all that everyone has said from here and everywhere else I ask this question, what does NREMT stand to lose by letting me take the CBT? If I fail then well... that will speak for itself. Many in here see...

PM me and I can explain

Thank you. Yeah the previous thread had a few people make suggestions that were positive in nature. The rest were cheap shots taken by the cyber bully crowd... you know the ones that hide behind a computer and won't say jack to your face. In any event I am doing my best to stay upbeat and...

I did a search and did not see a thread so if this is a dup, I am sorry. Does anyone know of any Paramedic Program that offers advanced placement and or the ability to challenge their programs tests? Mine is kind of a long story but I was advised to search for a program that might offer this...

One more thing Gear wise... for those enrolling in a TEMS class on their own, no sponsorship, where is a good place to obtain gear? I know Ebay may be a source for some of it, anyone know of re-sellers that have some sort of credentials to sell gear... kinda like when you buy something that has...

Is there any formal database that list what Law Enforcement Agencies at any level, city, county, state, federal... that outsource the TEMS aspect of the Tac Team vs which Agencies recruit from within their own ranks? I don't know if a database like that would be considered need to know for...

With respect to the above courses, which do you all think is better?

I have seen a couple of different TEMS classes, some with live fire and some without. I have found classes country wide with various tuition's. It is hard to tell what is the best class for the medical aspect and what is the better class for the Tactical aspect. As a rule of thumb what do...

Thanks for the advice Some of you made some really valid points and I thank you. I can say this much...in here at least I am among people who do the job for a living and not people who just push papers. When you believe in something so strongly. sometimes stopping and smelling the roses can...
