The posterior wall MI is obvious here - the inferior wall, less so

I am leaving for Oz in 20 days but will be on the complete opposite side of the country.

Ask them what flavor barium they prefer.

As the old saying goes, It's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt...

My last name and my age when I moved to the US.

I am still baffled as to why any EMS provider would intentionally wish to cannulate an artery.

What do you mean by 'go for' and 'went for'? You don't mean intentionally do you?

The CCP-C isn't a course, it is an exam. CCEMT-P will give you a decent enough prep for the CCP-C and perhaps to a lesser extent, the CCRN. However, you will need a couple of thousand hours as an RN in an acute or critical care setting before you will be allowed to sit for the CCRN. The CCRN still looks impressive on a resume, the CCP-C still has people asking 'wassat?'

You certainly did not!

I think Welshmedic would beg to differ.

I was thinking more these guys

Pros Lots of experience People willing to contribute many hours of discussion Solid underlying sense of humour Fair moderation Multinational Rob was a great asset Cons: Doesn't seem to be as many daily posts as in the past (even that other forum is more active) Point has already been made - people refusing to believe they could ever be wrong People making outlandish claims on clinical matters, but failing to provide relevant citation. 'The Golden Hour', '15L via NRB', boarded and collared', 'code 3' 'POV lights'...etc The belief that ones own EMS system sets the standard by which all others are judged. There is a whole world of EMS out there - quite possibly more advanced and progressive than the majority of us have experienced. Lawsuits People who try to bring religion into a discussion in an attempt to strengthen their argument cough* Coram? cough*

Some more info on international recruitment in WA, including potential opportunities for EMT-Is http://www.stjohnchangelives.com.au/qualified-paramedics.html http://www.stjohnchangelives.com.au/assets/templates/main/documents/STJO0221C_HR.pdf

Narrow minded and bigoted answer.

Very sad news. It is clear that he influenced a lot of people on the forums, self included. RIP

I think the OP meant Critical Care Paramedic over EMT-CC

My money is on a K-1.

The problem with these insane predictions, from these equally insane and insecure individuals, usually starts when words such as "fact", "proof" or "guarantee" are bandied about. Stay off the drugs Harold - you shouldn't have to be told a third time

I wish someone had told Donald Trump that

No necessarily though. There are plenty of para-lead CCT teams in the US doing level 3 transports daily, and SECAmb's CCP course looks to be heading that way (as well as the thoracotomy-in-a-ditch type work).

I have read of people asking about getting onto the UK HPC by means of attaining AREMT registration, so there certainly seems to be some misinformed individuals out there. Are they just a register for people to voluntarily sign up to, maybe like the US NAEMT? Do they provide any training courses or perhaps an external examination that would look good on a CV / resume (UK Dip IMC)? Is Paramedic a protected title in Oz? Most importantly, do the AREMT have a nice patch? So many questions...

Good to see you back online Rob. You definitely changed my mindset towards EMS for the better, so thanks for that. Don't be a stranger.
