so my friend sent me this... somebody seriously asked that question... people are... ridiculous

Band-Aids is indeed a brand name, but NY State EMTs are not allowed to use them, as it is considered a "completed treatment", therefore not within EMT Scope Of Practice. We still have to carry them, so we can give them to a Crack Ho, whose child got a skinned knee, that they might put it on the youngun. (Sarcasm heavily intended)

yall seriously aren't allowed to use band-aids... thats... ohmm... special

as funny, as this may be its also very sad.

i wanty to get hired on with my citys police department and go from there. I am one year out from getting my paramedic. What classes, after that should i take, and what field should i specialize in before going to swat? What physical fitness standards are there, and how do you recomend getting ready for them. Is there any certain areas i should really work on. Sorry for the questions but i want to get a head start

omgah i was not expecting that ending lol... that is too funny

hahaha, these are pretty good, even though i've heard many of them before, they still make me laugh lol

Why? Do they flex too much?

i'm sure they break way to much... you cant out much weight in it, but thats just an assumption

I am intrested in becoming a swat medic with a big city swat team. I am wondering if anyone on this page is an actual swat medic, how do i get started, what to expect, ect. I would love to talk to someone who works as a swat medic. I am also hoping to maybe work in dallas, or new york city. So if you have any experiance in these locations, it would be even better. k thanks

i'm actually supriesed you guys have heard of CAP. I did search and rescue with them. And yes rhichard most of the calls were bogus. I remember distinctly one night wehere we were searching for a "sinking boat" in the middle of a a neighbor hood at 4am because the e-perb was going off...turned out it was in somebodys garage and we had to wake them up to take a look. The real mssions where few and far between. Which is a good thing because that means no one needed finding, but when they did come i loved it. I was thinking about getting really invloved with wilderness SAR. But I would like to get my paramedic first.

thanks guys, all of this was really helpful. It was more out of curiosity. I used to be invloved with SAR as a part of a Civil Air Patrol ground team (which i doubt anyone has ever heard of on here) I was only a first responder then and worked as the "medic" on my team. I only needed to improvise once while on a mission, it was for a fractured wrist and i ended up using newpaper. We had already used up our splints, when one of our team members tripped. I was intrested in getting back into it since i live not to far from the mountains. So i was just curios as to what other SAR groups have used. So thanks again guys : )))

i dont know who in here has ever done hiking or ground search and rescue, but i am curious as to what you guys think would be the best in mking a make-shift splint. my theory was using thick sticks and strips of fabric, but i've also hear of using pillows, newpaper, ive even heard of someone using an umbrella... if anyone has experiance with this, what would you reccomend?

thanks guys for all the useful tips. I am sorry i havent been able to respond sooner, i've been busy with the holiays. I passed the class and had one of the highest grades thanks to you guys, so thanks again. Now its onto peds. and geriatrics. which i heard is hard. wish me luck

sorry guys, i was typing that from a phone in 20 degree weather, my hands were somewhat numb. And it was for my als medical care class. The answer was indeed v-fib, which is the one i was thinking but was not 100 percent sure. I asked alot of people and got many answers, which to me is intresting lol. Anyways thanks for the help. I am almost done with the class, my final is thursday, but ive already passed my ivs, intubation, and medical stations, so all thats left is my written final. wish me luck

i know by moving oe jostling a patient you can put them into a disrhytmia, but the question on my review is which one... which disarhytmia is most commom in hypothermia patients?

o man that one is good lol

anyone know of any good websites that have scenarios for acls class, i need help working on my algorithims and think this might help

Good one.

Already copied and pasted to share...

this is too cute, im definatley steeling this lol

Ok, fine- I'll be the asshole.

Why is it that the least experienced people always want to tell us what the "rules" of EMS are? Or the "you might be an EMT if..." crap, 90% of which they've only read about or seen on Turd Watch?

Never understood it.

I got this list from a friend.. and other than a few ones such as 20 and 21 (cus if you're a good emt you can keep your emotions in check) I thought it was just something to chuckle at... you dont have to take it seriously... theats why i posted it under funny

omgawsh this is too funny!!!!! i near bout spit my dirnk out hwen i red some of these

1. Skin signs tell all.

2. Sick people don't bitch.

3. Air goes in and out, blood goes round and round, any variation on this is a bad thing.

4. Newbies have there own way of doing things.

5. The more equipment you see on a EMTs belt, the newer they are.

6. There is no rule 6.

7. When dealing with patients, supervisors, or citizens, if it felt good saying it, it was the wrong thing to say.

8. All bleeding stops....eventually.

9. All people will eventually die, no matter what you do.

10. If the child is quiet, be scared.

(And A few more)

11. Always follow the rules, but be wise enough to forget them sometimes.

12. If the patient vomits in the rig try to hold their head to the side of the rig with the disposable equipment, not the stuff you have to clean.

13. If someone dies by chemical hazards, electrical shocks or other on-scene dangers it should be the patient, not you.

14. Any EMT, FF, LEO and/or scene chief who is more drunk (or more stupid) than the patient is the real problem.

15. There will be problems.

16. You can't cure stupid.

17. If it's wet and sticky and not yours, LEAVE IT ALONE!

18. If at all possible, avoid any edible item that firefighters prepare, especially the tuna casserole.

19. Heaven protects Fools and Drunks.

20. EMS is extended periods of intense boredom, interrupted by occasional moments of sheer terror.

21. Every Emergency has three phases: PANIC, FEAR, AND REMORSE.

22. You are bound to get a call either during dinner, while you are on the can, or at 02:00 in the middle of a great dream.

23. Rocket scientists that get into stupid car crashes are the first ones to complain how bumpy the ambulance ride is.

24. The severity of the injury(s) is directly proportional to the difficulty in accessing, as well as the weight, of the patient.

25. Turret mounted machine guns usually work better than lights and sirens.

26. Make sure the rookie EMT knows that a med patch is a radio term and not a medicated bandage.

27. Paramedics save lives; But it's EMT skills that save Paramedics.

28. When a patient vomits outside, be sure to aim it at the citizens who wouldn't back up.

29. Never trust your rig, drug box, or airway bag to be fully stocked. In spite of the assurances of the offgoing crew.

30. If you don't have it, don't give up, Adapt, Improvise, Overcome, (then call for a second unit).

31. There is no such thing as a "textbook case"

32. Newbies always look for large things in the smallest compartments and vice versa.

33. There is no such thing as a bad call. Only calls that didn't go the way you planned.

36. If there are no drunks at an MVA after midnight, keep looking, some one is missing.

37. Just because your paranoid does not mean the Supervisor isn't around the corner.

38. Remember what MICN stands for, "May I interrupt your Call Now?"

39. Just because someone's license date is before yours does not mean they know what they are doing.

The final rule is.....Its not your emergency, calm down.

my favorite is: you can't cure stupid... its so ture and so many of us try and do it lol
