  1. If you have a chance to attend one of Bob Pages seminars, jump on it. You will learn what you need to know. You can check the website for dates. multileadmedic.com
  2. I thought all these volleys did it to help their fellow man? Now they are resigning over not being paid? Can we say HYPOCRITES!
  3. Well, if PD is on scene already, then they know what happened and it would not be leaving the scene, plus you have notified dispatch. Roll the window down and inform PD that you have a critical Pt and you will be back after you are done. As stated, if you get out an assess, you then have abandonment. Your first obligation is the pt in the back. Now, if there were serious injuries, then that may change the scenario.
  4. Did everyone fail reading comprehension in high school? Both Lonestar and Vent Posted the Mich State law on this. You are allowed to work, while in the 60 day grace period. So the person is doing no wrong, yet! The OP may have been wanting to do the right thing, but they need to know and understand the laws in the state they are working in first!
  5. I would think that hand placement would remain the same. Reversing the pad placement would be better, to ensure the electrical pathway remained the same. This is something you would need to bring up o a cardiologist!
  6. The Humerous should have been part of the training on the EZ-IO. It works extremely well. If the battery dies (highly unlikely), you can still insert the EZ needle manually like a regular IO.
  7. All that and still couldn't pass a simple test?
  8. Let's see, this might be hard! Gloves Partner O2 Ambulance(stocked) Cheetos Mt Dew
  9. A lot of systems are using it. I have never seen anything bad come from it. It does cut down of the number of L&S responses, so that is always a good thing. You still get the low level calls that slip through, due to "Just being careful" with the response. But , I see no cons to it.
  10. If someone ever decides to drop off a new car as a thank you, then my partner can suck eggs. It is all mine!!!
  11. I have used all kinds. I prefer the LP12 over the MRX, but that is my personal choice. Do not get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with the Phillips, I just like the LP better. I hate the Zolls with a passion! I really hated our old HP Code Master. That thing would read a NSR on the bench seat!
  12. Do you have PROOF of this statement? If a gas engine is properly maintained, there is no issue. The spark is a closed system and no chance of igniting outside the combustion chamber.
  13. These are simple answers to your questions. You can google diesel combustion process, if you want a more in depth read on the subject.
  14. As stated, If you don't like your services policies, then leave or fight to change it. I can see you as the type that takes out their frustrations on the pt?
  15. We used to use it in suspected spinal cord injuries. But, there is no evidence that it helped much, so they stopped using it for that. Like RR stated COPD and Asthma, it does excellent in reducing swelling. We use 125mg too.
  16. The one thing you will learn in this job is you never make any decision, unless you can justify your reasons! To many in this field are afraid of the almighty law suit. You can not live your life or work this job, if you are afraid of being sued over everything. Back up your decisions and you will be fine!
  17. Even though we know that you put on this display, to look like an idiot here. If you truly thought that way. I would not only fire you, but push to have your cert revoked. For you to come on a public forum and spot off like an ass, does nothing for EMS. If you truly feel that way, McDonald's is always hiring!
  18. There is no such thing as a Discrimination law suit, unless you are making that decision based on race,gender, age or sexual orientation. If that is influencing your decision, then you need not be in this job.
  19. I just think it is great that they get meal breaks! Think of all the money I could save, by not having to leave before my food is ready!
  20. When you actually have any EMS experience, then come back and debate! I have never had a parent freak out in my truck, whether up front or in the back. If a parent is emotional, then I explain to them that they will not be aloud to ride, unless they can control themselves. When I transport children, I usually have a parent in the back. It helps keep the child calm and I can get any info I need from them. If I suspect a problem, then they ride up front or follow along. If it is a serious call, then they can ride up front, they would be in the way in the back. Same goes for elderly or someone that does not speak English. You need to use common sense and get off the high horse of authority!
  21. This is the scary part! 10 x Tramadol Hydrochloride (Ultram) 50 mg 12 x Oxycodone (Percoset) 7.5/325APAP 12 x Hydrocodone (Vicodin HP) 10/660APAP 12 x Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) 8 mg 12 x Morphine Sulfate (MS Contin) 15 mg 8 x Ibuprofen (Motrin) 800 mg 12 x Promethazine HCl (Phenergan) 25 mg 14 x Levofloxacin (Levaquin) 500 mg 14 x Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) 500 mg iGo® 6 Compartment Plastic Travel Case, Hinged-Lid, Blue, 2.5" x 3.5" x 1.25" He states that this was all obtained from Dr's, for personal use????????????????????????????
  22. Firehouse subs, by far the best out there!!!
  23. I feel for you man! I did mine last year, after letting it laps years ago. It could use a lot of improvement on how it is set up and ran. I failed Adult airway the first time. For all things of forgetting the "BSI". I was not happy. Had to drive 6 hours to retake one station. They would not do retake that day, because the NREMT rep had to leave. Even though we finished 3 hours early! Just retest those stations, get it out of the way and never let it expire!
  24. We would get even more injuries!! Can you imagine all the drunks falling off their horses. That is a long fall!
  25. Yes, her Doc should have sent her to a PT. She needs correct rehab or she may injure it again and beyond repair!
