lmao...YEAH, I FIGURED SOMEONE WOULD.

Hmmm. You want a zoll? start there. Before you look at public grants on PAD's, try fund drives for internal upgrades. Set up a public "heartsaver" drive. Set your goal at whatever you need for a spec'd Zoll, x 2 for a spare. Hold a coin toss at an intersection, shoot for a few grand. Use that to create advertising and flyers for the event, wait a month or so (so the coin toss peeps forget they gave) and send a mass mailer fund drive to promote the event and ask for donations. Now...Its summer, fairly warm. Throw a fundraising barbcue at your service with the rest of the coin toss cash. Invite the local radio station (free promotionals for the event) bring down a few vendors from the area to sell some wares, sell food for a few bucks, and send some people through the crowds with buckets and promotional advertisers, explaining the purpose of the drive. Great PR, wonderful tool for the event. You will have your pretty lil' zolls quicker than you think. Then, use public grants simultaneously to purchase the PAD's Also, if anyone needs a PR guy to throw and create drives like this, www.setatraining.org/setaconsultants

I just vomited in my mouth a little bit. Thanks for that... :? :?

So, in reality, we are not permitted to "search" a patient, but we should be adequately "assessing" all patients. Interesting concept. </sarcasm> I must ask, cutting pockets whit? For all patients? Searching them? How do you decide who gets searched? Nevermind, dont answer that. Its a civil rights violation no matter how you cut this.

You make more money closer to cities and in cities than in rural towns. Figure 5-9 per hour rural, and up to 20+ for urban. No one makes good money. Have you considered McDonalds? At least they have a retirement plan and no vomit...

This admin, is why I was nice about it. In his original posting, he was clear in his statements about removing of X and R rated films. It is my opinion that the basis of his statements is what I outlined. That is unacceptable in an open forum. Forums of this nature are meant for productive discussion of beliefs, not the pushing of beliefs, especially for the reasons I outlined originally. I, admin, fail to see an opening to debate someone who has yet to present an opinion of the topic based in anything but anecdotal opinion, nothing more. PRPG P.S. Trolling comes in many forms.

Ok. A few things. 1. Porn in the workplace is bad. Violence in the workplace is bad. A damn movie? Grow up. As adults, we are all entitled to a few things. As long as everyone in the workplace is sensative to the opinions of others, why does it matter? 2. This is now your second post here posted in part to promote your religious beliefs, without promoting religion. A part of EMS is defined by being able to read between the lines to see a patients real issue. Its rather easy to read between the lines here. 3. This is my last and only nice post. Next time, im going to release the hounds. Stop being a troll and become a productive member of the community. Thats all...for now. PRPG

ummm, then why do i keep getting diverted? This study is... :bs:

Combative, agitated, odor of ETOH after hitting her head. Strong MOI. These factors make me question her competency. Was she alert and oriented? Or did she get angry and sign? This still sounds shady. PRPG

Hmmmm...sounds more like a escort service...

Did you speak with a medical command doc about it before you cut her loose with a refusal? Other than that, seems you played it right. PRPG

Wasnt a law created by Clinton in 94' requiring hospitals to respond to any patient within 250 feet of their front door? anyone? I seem to remember this as a Rid reference... PRPG

Beat me to the punch...your getting quicker in your old age:) Also, if it is an EMT class, what is the hiring process like? Tell us more.

Vegas. For those who know me, that is the place to be. For you? I concur with Mike...

??

and that is going to stop you from performing your job appropriately? Your interested in pain management for the patient, but not in using a splint that performs similar amounts of pain management, is the most appropriate for the injury, and avoids pharmalogical pain relief, and the potential side effects. I have to ask, are you lazy, or simply dont remember how to use the equipment?

Why bother? Transport issues? Please clarify...

First, I appreciate as I read this thread to be noted as one of the "educated" members of ther forum. Since my arrival here, ive done my best to provide as much knowledge as I can, while still maintaining enough good sense about my personal knowledge to know i still needed to learn. This site has improved me in a number of ways, and has given me several provider types to model myself after, which has also served to improve how I balance and operate as a healthcare provider in the field. I truely appreciate the fact that I am respected by my peers, there is nothing better to know within your professional existence that you've reached that plateau. Special thanks to people like RID, Dust, DitchDoc/Punisher/Medicdiver/(Insert steve alias here)/Ace/Asys....you are in each of your own ways,...the ideal provider. Thank you for sharing yourselves and abilities with us. Enough of the blah blah....ive got more to add. PRPG's list additions. 1. Guns on ambulances 2 How old is too old 3. "My (edited) is bigger than your (edited)" 4. Should EMT's be allowed to ride... 5. On Top. Kumbyyah, PRPG

and scratching it's...
