Absolutely terrible. Jessica Ghawi death was very shocking as well. A link to a news report about her was posted above. She was at the Eaton mall shooting in Toronto, narrowly surviving. Then a month or so later ended up dying in this one. A link to her blog about the first shooting can be found here. http://jessicaredfield.wordpress.com/

Transport times here to the Trauma Hospital are around 40-50 minutes, depending on traffic. This year Helicopter EMS has arrived, so it'll be interesting to see how beneifical they are.

Sorry to hear that and good success story!

It's their emergency... not... yours.... they're Fubar now...

IFT's can be exciting and challenging too.

Probably not worth going against your preceptor on that one. Personally, I liked to flip the cuff for manual blood pressures so the tubes weren't in the way, now It doesn't bother me.

Welcome Stubble Jumper !

ps go directly to SIAST .. you do not need PCP experience to become an ACP.

You do need to be a PCP for a year to go to ACP School.

I have just recently finished taking the EMT B course and have taken the NREMT B final twice and failed. If anyone out there could please help me find a site that is a good study guide I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You!

Make another thread man

What is the most common EKG finding in the setting of a PE?

non-specific st segment & t changes?

My next possible route for this one could be Cardiac asthma d/t CHF w/ evident with shark fin, wheezing, & showing improvement with a neb tx. Anymore subjective findings?

?pulmonary embolism - evident by sudden onset & high resps? - maybe has PVD & BBB.

Two days ago my partner and I transported a patient to a hospital I'm not to fond of. Years ago I took my brother to the Peds ER for a laceration to the hand and waited almost two hours.

Lucky you didn't wait longer. No clinics in your area do suturing?

Medic 21 you're responding for a 44 y/o female possible loss of wedding ring, fire will be responding with you.

If someone wants a ride home they call a taxi, not the ambulance. It's a BS call.

Hello,

New naive (heeheh) EMT based in a rural community in Canda! The on-call aspect can be very stressful at times but I'm loving it! Look forward to reading and learning from emtcity!
