Subjects They Never Taught You In EMT-B School

[mycrofft]

Tongues in cheeks, folks!:rofl:

1. "Boot Buying and Tying".

2. "EM-FU", the new martial art, involving boot knives, aluminum clipboards, "D" cylinders, fire extinguishers, and huge sidearms.

3. "Maps and Orientation (plus Garmin)".

4. "EMS Nutrition (or, how to make anything into a sandwich in nothing flat)".

5. "SLEEP DEPRIVATION 101 (or, how my circadian cycle, cycles)".

6. "How to Look Good in a Jumpsuit (before you lose those fifteen pounds)".

Others?

You forgot the good ol' backboard sandwich



7. How to keep a straight face on ridiculous calls.

In addition to to sandwich is "what restaurants/fast-food places stay open 24 hours".

 

[sirengirl]

Which reminds me, in addition to #6, "How to get blood out of a white uniform shirt."

In addition to this, which restaurants will take your food, re-make/re-warm when you get a call in the middle of dinner.

I got the peroxide but no wipes. Never heard that before. Mine ended up being a mix of peroxide, lemon dish soap, and windex.

Some hospitals here have clorox wipes. Amazing they get anything out.

Glad we wear navy shirts.

and leaving the battery switches on so the battery dies

Crap, this is a Master's level course around here with the various combinations of what has to be left on and turned off to get the A/C to run off a shoreline and the battery to charge but NOT leave the lights, outlets ect on so the current draw exceeds the charger. It's different in seemingly every single truck, even sister trucks.

Whoever saw white shirts and went "that'd be a GREAT color for EMS!!" was obviously in management.
