They should be mailing you a rejection letter identifying the areas you did well in and poorly in. Yes the test is confusing. And there often is more than one answer. Just brush up on a lot ofyour basics.

She edited it....at least now it makes sense in the form of a joke. :roll:

What in this green earth are you friggin talking about here???

My city is constantly changing their ID ways....I still have my old photo ID saying that I'm a member of the volunteer corps for the city but still in the same way says that I am a city employee. We recently took photos for new IDs that has a barcode to scan in the instance a MCI or some catastrophe occurs.

Personally I prefer the photo ID because sometimes I use that as my secondary ID to my drivers license, ie cash a check. That is in no way wackerish... It does just seem to be more professional.

Just because someone is volunteer doesnt make them a wacker. MANY volunteer EMTs and first responders worked in many MCIs and catastrophes such as 9/11 and came in quite useful...and in situations like those, a sturdy PHOTO ID is much more sufficient.

But forget what I say. I'm only a basic. :roll:

Dispatched to residence for an assist...Elderly male wanted us to pick his pants up from around his legs. Hx of Parkinson's.

Dispatched to residence for welfare check...Handicapped bedridden female dialed 911 because she was excited that her daughter was coming to visit.

Another crew dispatched to residence for "medical"...Get there and there is an unbearable stench in the air...PD on scene notices dead flies on window sill (doesn't meantion it til later), Pt, wants to go to ER to get his legs checked out...He said he doctor told him 3 months earlier that his legs had gangrene and would need to be amputated. Pt didnt schedule surgery b/c he thought it would go away. He did his own bandaging...papertowels & duct tape...Crew was not willing to remove bandaging because the stench was so horrible...At the ER crew chief gives report to RN, "Elderly male w/ gangrene to both feet"...RN "How would you know it's gangrene?" "It's gangrene! Would you like to SMELL??" RN starts to approach pt in a huff, gets a wiff, and put pt in the resp iso room. The poor clerk started to come into the room to get pt info, gets to the door, gets a wiff, "I'll be right back", and returns wearing a mask. After the crew started taking bets if there were maggots inside....Sure enough, they return later with another pt and yup...maggots.

Ok so Brokeback Mountian WAS filmed here....will we ever live it down? :oops:

At the end of shift take your 5'4" tall partner's lunch kit, coat or anything else and put it on top of the box of the ambulance, then sit back and enjoy/take pictures.

That will only work if the person is a complete idiot...I've had that done to me and I'm 5'1". I got up on top of the rig quickly and got my shit back... I'm usually sitting on top of the box at most of our public events.

I was chatting with a friend in the chat room and was recommend that I post this on the board that a few of the 'experienced' members here would be able to assist me more on...

Now, the paper I need to write has to be based on a US Hx event AFTER World War II four to five pages long.

Now, this friend suggested to write about "Trauma White Papers" & the Hx of EMS. I was just doing a quick google search before I head into the shower, and most of the links I found ended up being broken.

I was hoping someone may have active links to articles or know some BOOKS regarding this area. I am very interested in this topic and I'm confident no one else in my class will come close to this area.

Thank you,
