I wonder why education is so important to her? She is obviously not a Harvard Grad. It is not the point.

You know there must be a history of abuse, both to her and now her son. It is just coming out to others now. Poor kid.

LOL!!

Aside from 8 & 9, I can completely relate to this.

How sad.

When I was born I was so surprised I didn’t talk for a year and a half.

May your year be filled with surprises!

Happy Birthday Terri!!

I guess they should have assumed she had another kid ... Let's keep somethings in perspective, try another view point ...

joke I can't do anything because I'm on break" says jack...

What perspective is that?

What view point are you taking about?

...Some how I don't think they were heartless enough to purposefully leave her their because she had a kid and was pregnant, and god only knows how long it will take until this is turned into a racial event.

Seems they were, and they did. Don't even try to play the race card.

...ADAPT, IMPROVISE and OVERCOME!

..."Check with the crews and the field supervisors" he continued "and see if anyone requested one." He then walked away.

Rule change - with no notification.

PS.. reimbursement for the meal is doubtful

Jeez. Having to ask or request?? What a smuck. Even at the hospitals I worked at we were given free dinner on holidays (for us and family), the stations always had a ton of donations and treats. Maybe it's a sign of the weak market. Or lazy upper management.

Good for you for taking care of your crew.

I do hope you are reimbursed though.

Wow that is really terrible, I would believe when someone gets that calloused, prehaps its time for a new career.

Too true!! How self important do these idiots think they are? They can't skip a break and help this woman and her baby? How heartless and sad. Maybe they could have saved her, maybe not. But at least to have tried might have saved her, her baby, and her young son from being left without his Mom. Just plain cold hearted.

This shows our ages. When I was little I wanted an ez bake oven, light brights, barbies, etch a sketch, silly putty....

My son's list....$60 ps3 games, $100 basketball shoes, more phone time to text, zip drives, new notebook computer....

How come life isn't as simple as it used to be??

...Made me cry like a baby....

Me too Dwayne!! Thanks for sharing this video, although it breaks my heart. Why can't everyone play nice, and people all be home with their families????

Subject: Cowboy boots

A Lady went into a bar in Waco and saw a cowboy with his feet propped up on a table. He had the biggest boots she'd ever seen.

The woman asked the cowboy if it's true what they say about men with big feet being well endowed. The cowboy grinned and said, 'Shore is, little lady. Why don't you come on out to the bunkhouse and let me prove it to you?'

The woman wanted to find out for herself, so she spent the night with him. The next morning she handed him a $100 bill.

Blushing, he said, 'Well, thankya, ma'am. Ah'm real flattered. Ain't nobody ever paid me fer mah services before.'

'Don't be flattered ... take the money and buy yourself some boots that fit.

Hi there,

The Facebook connect feature here will not spread any viruses.

Everyone should have their virus scanner up to date. If you do not have one, you can get this one for free:

You should also clean up your registry. This is a good tool. http://www.ccleaner.com/

And... the last free one I recommend to keep Malware at bay is: http://www.malwarebytes.org/

Good luck...

They do not seem free to me.

Duff .B. was 41 years old, with no medical history. He went to bed earlie last week feeling fatigued from his two day cough and fever, and did not wake up.

I am so sorry for your family's loss of a great person.

It is amazing how "big" stories start to fade, and people forget the risk is still there. Go to work symptomatic, go back to work too quickly, don't take precautions, infect someone else.

Thanks Mobey for the post, and reminding us to protect ourselves, family, friends, and the community. Again, my condolences.

I'm not saying I'm interesting..

Are you kidding? You have lived quite a life.

Always thought there was something special about you.

No kidding, i got married..

Wow! Congrats!!

A woman, right, not a sheep???

Just kidding!! All the best to you and your lucky woman!!!

Anyway, hi to people i dont know and to the people i do know, Suck it, im back

Welcome back for your fix Bushy. Be on your best behavior though, we are being graded now!

I have heard that the King County Medic One EMS system is top notch, with a great scope and excellent training. I am currently an EMT working in CA, but would like to work in the Medic One system. Are you employed as a pirvate medic or are you a Fire/Medic with Seattle Fire? Also, what are some quality paramedic programs to go through up in the Seattle area? I am not a fan of the southern california EMS system and would like to start my medic career in WA. If anyone knows of a good medic program please let me know so I can further my research. Thank you in advance for the responses.

Tried to send you a PM, it would not go through for some reason. I have a contact for you if you are interested.

I have heard that the King County Medic One EMS system is top notch, with a great scope and excellent training...

PM me if you want, I can give you some names.

Bummer.

Good spidey sense Kaisu.

Err, he's been banned guys

???? Harsh. Are you sure? Could you elaborate on this with some details?

Nod, but nit picky is their job, and I'm truly grateful that it is. I don't get busted much, but when I do it's always valid, and makes me write better reports.

If Laid is more appropriate, how come?

(I'm sorry I keep missing you girl! Don't give up!!)

Thanks for the feedback!

Dwayne

Just the verb tense.

Am I missing something here, Dwayne? I feel there is some other issue??

..."Upon returning to the room staff discovered that the pt had lay down on the couch and 'was twitching....

Dwayne

Maybe laid down, versus lay. But it is a bit nick picky, your observation is clearly made.

Yea Health care is all a government conspiracy, hello this is just one little strain of the yearly vaccinations...

http://www.medpagetoday.com/InfectiousDisease/SwineFlu/13989

Not one for the conspiracy thing. However, I am a parent. I have worked in healthcare and research for the past 25 years. I do not jump on the bandwagon of panic and immediately trust a shot that has not been proven to protect myself or my child. It may react differently in my child than it does me. Do you even understand how this virus works? How it affects a healthly immune system?

As for what this thread was originally started for, yes, I think that gal was self serving. But WTF, let her push everyone out the way and trample her way to the front of the line for her shot.

Back off Tniugs.

can a person become a emt if the crime happened over 20 yrs ago

What are you talking about? What crime? Please make a complete sentence. It would help so much as far as any of us having a chance to respond.

Yet another shining star in Jersey's volunteer EMS System....

...

I applaud this woman for taking a stand and speaking out on this issue...

I never trust vaccines that just come out, it takes years to see side effects from them to start appearing. She seems to be the type to throw everyone else in front of a bus to save her own ass. Major? Makes sense. Selfish and self promoting. Hope Karma steps in. It's sad she feels she is too important to wait two days. What a pompous ass, and like Spenec said, there is always something out there to catch. It might be this flu, or something else. Who hasn't been coughed, bled, sneezed, or barfed on?

Let her step in and be the the guniney pig!

...

I wish to communicate with American Paramedics and learn all about your duties and tasks...

Gupta,

What a honor to have you here! I look forward to reading posts from you, and learning from your experience. This is an amazing website, truly quality people with much to share.

Welcome!!!

...the most common calls for EMS are on Halloween?...

DX code: COD 532.5

Most presented on parents "checking their kid's candy".

"candy overdose"

Happy Halloween all!!
