  1. Use this next time you get an e-mail that upsets you. http://www.zefrank.com/punc/
  2. It comes on the Discovery channel. I didn't catch it, but now my curiosity is up. I'll have to watch it at least once.
  3. I can't "really" relate because I am straight. However, I personally think it's a matter of personal preference and it's no big deal. I don't think sexual preference makes the person. Just incase you missed it in your search, I've posted the link to a thread that somewhat relates to your topic: http://www.emtcity.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7849
  4. Ours for Nitro is >110 systolic for Pulmonary Edema and Chest Pain http://www.nccep.org/content/ems/standards...monaryEdema.pdf
  5. When you open the front door to a call dispatched as "unresponsive" and realize (within seconds) you'll need to use the FD's air packs!!!!! It was just lovely...
  6. Here's a few... Heroin – smack, skag, junk Cocaine – Coke, Dust, Gold Dust, Blow, Heaven Dust Crack Cocaine – Black rock, Crank, Rock Marijuana – Mary Jane, Wacky Tobaccky, Weed, Whackatabacky, 420, Buds, Grass Methamphetamine – Crystal, Crystal Meth, Glass, Ice, Meth, PCP – Angel’s Dust, Ozone, Rocket Fuel
  7. :oops: I didn't catch on I guess. Sorry I was on a different subject... English... i.e. spelling
  8. Well... since we're "proofreading"... its capitalization. :wink: Sorry... had to do it!
  9. I am a volly with a paid ALS department. My "paid" job is a Developer for a major business. I help produce/create materials to train sales employees. I would LOVE for EMS to be my full-time job, but unfortunately the pay, even if I work up to paramedic, is no where near what I'm making.
  10. I am doing EMT-I clinicals so there are LOTS of meds out of my scope of practice. It hasn't happened to me personally yet, but I just wanted some advice before it did happen. My instructor advised us to push "whatever" we could and if it's not in our scope of practice to record it only as a med push not the name of the med. I guess I just wanted reassurance that my thoughts are correct in that I should not be pushing meds that I do not know the outcome of even if it comes from a nurse or Dr.
  11. Looking for tips and/or opinions... During your clinicals did you or would you push drugs out of your scope of practice if requested to do so by a nurse or Dr.?
  12. very good point... i have actually already spent the time writing all of mine out myself. But great website to keep for future reference/review.
  13. My first call was a middle aged m complaining of sever abdominal pains... turns out he had been unable to uh?... go bom bom for quit a few days... I won't include in here what the dr's had to surgically remove to fix his problem...
  14. Others can correct me if I'm wrong... but I believe a priapism is said to be very painful. They do not spontaneously resolve on there own. At the very least meds are given to resolve it... if it's a more serious then aspiration is done. Either way I believe a Dr is involved.
  15. Thanks for the tips guys. Relating meds to the body and what they do for it and putting it all on flash cards does make things a lot easier. I had just got my list of meds and was a little overwhelmed at first. But now I'm good to go! Great website site for reference as well! Thanks! Wendy
