      do you get many first aid calls at work? I do anywhere from 1 to 4 first aid calls in a 4 day period. Most of the time it is for minor wounds or pains. Once and while I will get trauma or medical call underground or on surface that requires transport to town.

      we generally will see 3-4 people a week for actual injuries or illness. mostly we have people coming in for tylenol for headaches and stuff. We have a bunch of different OTC meds we can dispense as well as our usual stuff as medics

    Don't forget to unplug the ambulance before leaving the bay or else you will show up on scene with the extension cord hanging off the side of the ambulance! OOPS!!!

    How come some people feel they are better and know it all when it comes to being a paramedic? Did their mom not teach them to treat other with respect!

      one thing I learned even before taking my PCP program and working as a OFA level attnedant is that things in the real world are always different than how they were in class.

      no worries lone star. I did not explain it very well on the original post. Yes you would think it would have been flat as a pancake, but NO he is very lucky, turned out he suffered a small chip on a bone and now some very severe swelling. Lucky SOB!!
