Great find !!

That thread was last commented on 2 years ago this November.

I re read the entire thing. Ironically GAmedic is an atheist who had 20 odd years experience at that time.

Iamyourgod who posts an identical thread 2 years later, is an atheist with 24 years experience.

GAmedic died...I dont rememebr this story but would love to hear it.

Iamyourgod lives amongst us...eerie and creepy.

The old thread had FD references which were removed after we commented on how we are EMS. The new thread started out just like the old one, addressing firehouses, etc.

The old thread, GA does not address any specific arguments or questions, only continues to pick and choose certain words or parts of people's responses in order to fuel his one sided debate.

Ironically, iamyourmedic does the same damn thing.

Towards the latter pages of the old thread, GAmedic quit responding at all. I suspect we may seem the same thing here as well.

And just may, hopefully, iamyourgod will suffer a similar fate, die in a car crash and go away for at least two years.

P.S Just check the IPs

As long as we continue to allow this porn in the workplace, we can never claim to be professionals. You dont find porn playing in the lobby at IBM or any other professional workplace. Imagine your teenage daughter going to work at wendy's, and being forced to watch porn on the tv set in the back -- you would be outraged. It is not only a sexual harassment issue, but it is also offensive to those who are religous. Remember the old sayig, "If you cant do it in front of your momma (when you were a teen) you shouldnt be doing it. The same is true in fire/ems, if you wouldnt watch porn in front of the county commissioners or the department's chaplain, you shouldnt be doing it. Get your porn at home, be professional at work.

You've been in EMS this long and your crying over this? Are you serious?Don't take this in offense,but don't we have bigger fish to fry?

Maybe she should sue the restaraunt too for letting someone get sick in their bathroom.

It could be worse I guess,she could be suing because Mcdonalds served her "hot" coffee.

A woman is suing Salem for $100,000, claiming she broke her wrist when she tripped over a firefighter’s emergency bag.

Betty Ann Peck discovered a woman passed out on the floor of a ladies room at a Salem restaurant in November 2005 and called for help. She claims in her suit filed last week in Salem Superior Court that when rescuers asked her to move out of the way, she tripped over a bag that had been placed on the floor, creating a “negligent, defective and hazardous condition.”

Maybe she should pay attention to where she's walking?Dumb ass. Common sense isn't common anymore,in fact its a rarity.

10.75 is a kick in the nuts

HAHA

edit date "March 2004 and October 2008" up in high prarie. The news is sometimes in accurate. They are running audits back to 90'

So I took the time to ear in on some evening news and this is what I heard. I know this doesn't affect most of you unless you have utilized the hospital in such a way where you needed an IV,but the majority of you administer IV's. What's your thought on this? Authorities aren't speculating on whether it was the lab techs or the nurses,and who knows how they will be dealt with. This is absolutely revolting.

Out of interest i've gone through these books as they interest me lots:

Tintanilli's emergency (black and red book) lol

Lange cardiovascular physiology 6th edition

Lange endocrine physiology

12 lead ECG the art of intrepretation (Garcia)

biology concepts and connections (campbell) mostly academics

In terms of education they want you to have atleast 2 years of post secondary,preferably in law,some other small certs like a firearms license,cpr etc. In terms of power they have, I would say they are very similiar to the RCMP/Canadian Coast Guard as they are all federally ran, and regulated. Security guards just have a card that says they are security officers and have passed a clearance. Peace officers are a bit higher and go through a bit training/POPAT tests from my understand.

Here is a link I hope you find useful.

CBSA-ASFC

I wouldn't throw all of those jobs into one pot as they are not all the same and require different levels of knowledge. As a Paramedic,RN,LPN are not the same. Apples do not equal oranges.

this person was canadian?or

I don't really know if this is suppose to be a joke or not,but I do know someone who is pregnant and i'm not going to say who it is. You'll just have to figure it out for yourselves

LOL! I like that the other engine just kept going!

Those were my thoughts.

I found this article interesting because its really amazing when you look at the Emergency Medical Services 50 years ago and how things have really changed in a positive way I think. Anyways,feel free to read the article.

Harrow ambulance/funeral service closing

you probably need some sort of working visa to i'd assume?

Hope everyone has a safe,delicious holiday.

We were just discussing him the other day. I too was wondering.

I might be able to find out.

i'm pretty sure he works for Edmonton,but not 100%

So,someone today had asked me a really interesting question in which I wasn't really sure how to answer in terms of physiology. I guess this is one of those "why does the heart beat"kinda questions but there must be reasonable explanation somewhere. Maybe I should be talking to a clinical physcologist. Anyways,the question was,why does happiness/sadness make an individual cry? What triggers the physiological response? Does an excess amount of serotonin/phenethylamine in the synapse trigger something to flip the dump switch on the eye ducts for them to release the watery fluid over the pupil?Is it some sort of protein? I'm interested to find this out. I haven't asked anyone in the institution yet,but I will come Wednesday. What are your thoughts?

I've always wondered how aviation standards compare as to US vs Canada. As for flying in the United States, the country itself obviously has by far way more transports of the critically ill patient when comparing to little brother, Canada. In terms of accidental death and or crashing, it would be interesting to find out how standards differ and or if crashing is user error (which I doubt). And which are Emergency Medical Serivces birds falling out of the sky so often. We know ambulance's get into alot of accidents as well also,but really which is safer when considering the probability.

Between Calgary and Banff in 2005 -Jan 28, there were 3 cars and 1 truck in the ditch, the truck lost control and landed sideways on its side, up against another vehicle, even though no one was hurt, someone called RCMP/Ambulance and the fire department.

It was a complete waste of personnel, the fire chief wasnt happy but he did say that he's glad no one was killed.

How did the vehicle land on it's side? Chances are,not a waste of anyone's time or resources. Sounds pretty serious to me.

Don't they teach WHIMIS over there?
