Take a defensive driving course. I think you get points when you complete driver education programs. As for hiring,employers discretion. Goodluck!

Dehydration will also cause syncopal episodes. And alcohol loves sucking the water out of those kidneys

dimebag died?

Talk about ending a working relationship with the police. I'm not sure if all of American states are like this,but here Police and EMS work side by side,mutual relationship. I found this very wierd. Thoughts? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/31376393#31376393

Why?

Where do you draw the line right?

I would agree with this to a certain extent. If an injury was possibly so detrimental that the EMT,or EMT-P could not work in EMS,or had to switch careers because of the injury,or damage the injury may have caused is that really right? If an EMS crew responds to a house call,gets there and sustains an injury because there is ice on the front steps and someone wipes out who's fault is it really? Someone maybe forgot the ice melt. Sometimes shit just happens. I would think ultimately the safety of the crew,is the responsibility of the crew. But cases are taken on as individual basis.

In America,you can sue if someone spills hot coffee on you in Mcdonalds. So I would think your case would seem legitimate. Call a lawyer for advice,it's usually free. It's probably in your best interest to take pictures,and seek medical advice and get EVERYTHING documented pertaining to injury,or injuries that may occur in later years of your life. Remember whatever you tell the doctor hurts,he writes it down in turn your lawyer has this in your pursuit for personal injury/litigation. Cheers,best of luck.

Someone photoshoppe Segals face in there.....lol

Try getting a job with a goverment agency. Generally,they don't really shaft their employees or atleast in Canada anyways. Goodluck,its not the end of the world! cheers

bylaw officers beat up crackheads trying to squeegy windows in calgary thats about it....

Wouldn't it be nice for Paramedics to have some sort of working knowledge of anatomy and physiology of domesticated animals such as dogs and cats to perform basic emergency treatment if need be. That would be an interesting curriculum additive. hmm

Lynyrd Skynyrd - free bird best song in this thread! lol

Marijuana laced with cocaine and or embalming fluid is pretty common. I'm guessing is it was more than just "green" as stated previously. http://www.cesar.umd.edu/cesar/drugs/marijuana.asp

That's what I was thinking. Is she really psychologically stable to be providing care to citizens in the community. But who are we to really pass on a judgement and have we really considered all the factors? Suicide is selfish,but to factor in kids to it is just perpetual. I feel bad for them,not her.

Certainly won't be the last pandemic. Atleast I don't think.

and stupid people are breeding on a consistent basis,but what can you do right?

Maybe a license suspension will slow you down. for sure lol

I already donate to local hospitals and hospital research teams but I hope they can reach 1.4 million.

That's not a nice thing to say..........LOL

EMT city isn't the be all of EVERYTHING you must know or questions you have. Try seasoned Paramedics and EMTs whom you work with,check out other EMS forums,journals,your medical control etc etc etc etc. and last but not least google,the ultimate search power. I have met some awesome people from this site,but there's much out there. happy hunting cheers rat

I think you hit the nail on this one. I agree.

The bread and butter of emergency medicine,as once stated is geriatric patients........so get use to it bub.
