her mom said it was diabetes related. I'm not sure, I talked to her just a couple of hours before she was found by her son Nick. We talked daily and I miss her so very much. As for Don, he hasn't been around Jess or Nick since she left him, so I don't know how he is doing. 

I'm doing okay, could be better but could be worse..

I pop in here and there

That sucks, may he he rest in peace!

Hey folks! This is Don. Jess apparently had a brain aneurysm from the past surgeries she had from the complications  of our son's birth. Her and I was not together and I have been through my own issues. Last time I saw her and our son was 2011.  She passed 3 days after her 31st birthday.  I remember on her 2nd surgery the surgeon told her she would not live past 30...….  Anybody want to talk please IM me here or catch me on twitter. https://twitter.com/DonaldJr1977

chief??? oh my...

welcome back!

We're pretty sure lone star is doing 12-20 for impersonating a Paramedic

Haha..what I miss?

Hey Mike!

Hello all...I think I made a wrong turn cause I have not been on here since Lone Star was young.....well, wait.....internet was not invented in 1812..nevermind..

Anyway, been a memeber on EMTCITY 6 years now......wow....just saying Hello all!!!!

Good luck buddy! Stay calm and ask questions if unsure, remember, "the only stupid question, is the one that is not asked"

Leave it to Fred to totally screw up following directions....it should have been a left at Pismo Beach and a right at Cucamonga....

Figures....I gotta explain EVERYTHING to you, over and over again.....

How's the wife and 'linoleum lizard' doin?

Phred, you old fart.....I been okay...could be better..

Jess and I aren't together anymore....I speak to her a couple times a week, I am back in PA and them two are in IL......Don't ask....

I figured I would come here and give some people a stroke..lol.....

Don! How the hell have you been?

Hey Mike! I thin I made a wrong turn...lol

welcome to the newbie!!! hey Don good to see some of the old times are becoming the newbies again! so does that make us the "old newbies?"

Who you calling old, grandma?!?!?!? I made a wrong turn Terri...lol

Hi and welcome!

ALWAYS,ALWAYS,ALWAYS Safety first........1st thing I was taught in EMT class......

Him and I had a few "debates", I will not say they were clashes. He always used the word "hose monkeys" for fire fighters which drove me up a damn wall, and I told him that, everytime he saw me in chat or on line he mentioned that word to irk me...lol.

You will be missed Dust.... RIP buddy..

I use to carry 3 note pads, 3 pens, pen light, big and small trauma shears, "bitch be nice" gloves AKA lifting/aggressive patient gloves, hand sanitizer (purel), multi-tool, glove pouch, keyring clip w/ portable oxygen key, 2 rolls of tape. I also had some flushes on me. They became weapons when RN's wanted to be funny...lol....and on a serious note, if a medic needed a flush and didn't want to dig through the IV kit, I had it covered.....and my portable radio, and of course cell phone.

I have been out of EMS a year due to my girlfriend's health and my back now being jacked up from a former partner that couldn't lift worth a damn. Hopefully in 6 months I'll be back in the game.....

So much for easy reading..lol

Welcome aboard buddy! I been an EMT for 10 years and love it! Good luck!!!!

Pen and paper to take notes and vitals......

Well it would be Don, if we did not have a corrupt wheelchair van/dialysis transport industry that is full of fraud.

I agree, my old company was not innocent....

Howdy and welcome

Medicare is a joke, Ive had patients near death and they wanted a CMN (Certificate of medical necessity)..... You would think respiratory failure is a good enough reason....

I worked for a service in Pittsburgh for 9 years that did 70% transports. We also did 911 calls for a town of 10,000 and about 6 nursing homes in PGH. Yes it gets old taking grandma back and forth, but good way to stay in practice with vitals and your "people" skills, and face it, that's the money maker for EMS.

Im from central Illinois.....about 10 mins east of Peoria

I always wore a name tag. Want to know my name ask or read the tag.. I have nothing to hide. I told a RN once to be sure to spell my name correctly as I pointed to it on my name tag.....

Franklin,Pa has a Pone Lane........always made me laugh, don't know why

Elizabeth Twp,Pa has a memory lane........

Pittsburgh Pa has a Gettysburg street, now it might not be funny, but, everytime there is a call there a few medics will ask the dispatcher "repeat the Gettysburg address" None of them ever catch on....

And there is a town and road here called Kickapoo......
