  1. It was a great 3 years while it lasted.....

  2. EMTcity lost a great icon......Dust...you will be missed, may you RIP.....thank you for your military service and for your words of advise on here.........

  3. 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..
  4. 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
  5. Welcome aboard buddy! I been an EMT for 10 years and love it! Good luck!!!!
  6. Pen and paper to take notes and vitals......
  7. Just another day in paradise....

  8. Just another day in paradise....

  9. FDNY PARAMEDICS 2; FDNY FIREFIGHTERS 341; PRIVATE EMS 8; NYPD 23; PAPD 37; MEMBERS OF THE ARMED SERVICES 55; EVERYDAY AMERICANS 2511. NEVER FORGET 2977! God bless our country and the Services both Emergency and Armed who stepped up to the challenge that horrible day!

  10. Wow..I must have made a wrong turn.....lol

  11. I agree, my old company was not innocent....
  12. Mike, I have to touch bases with you...its been a while......
  13. My past EMS employer threatened to fire and sue me for posts about work and pictures of the trucks I posted. I did remove the pics but did not censor what I said, there was about 6 more employees that had pics posted and not 1 word said to them, so I told them Ill be waiting for there lawyer to call me.......that was a year and a half ago...my phone hasn't rang yet....
  14. 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....
  15. 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.
  16. Im from central Illinois.....about 10 mins east of Peoria
  17. 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.....
  18. HICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  19. 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......
  20. Volunteering is okay...but then they take advantage of you...
  21. Dust, Sorry to hear about your luck. Keep your chin up....
  22. Been enjoying some "time off" from EMS, havent seen a patient since september, my back is thanking me....
