How dare you insult me. I'm not from Jersey, I'm from Brooklyn NYC. I merely work in Jersey. Hey, someone had to break the ice.

Geez, with all the infighting about Boston EMS, who even needs to mention the Yankees to start a fight? Ah, f--k it, I will. I took this picture Tuesday night at the end of the top of the 9th, while listening to Ol' Blue Eyes singing New York, New York:

I think you are just being sarcastic about the magnet. But they deserve the magnet if they're getting on your nerves.

You are a wise medic student, and hit the nail right on the head. A lot of people bash the place I work at full-time. Yeah, it has its problems, but I am happy there, and in my opinion, it is only my happiness I care about.

I want to become a DRIVER.

I'm gonna agree w/ Asys and say it's an aneurysm. Any follow-up?

That's because you can't leave in the RIG until all 5 volunteers are on the RIG. The DRIVER The CREW CHIEF The CLIPBOARD CARRIER The STRETCHER PERSON The VITALS person And God forbid you ask one of them to do something else than what they are assigned to do by the CREW CHIEF.

First off, a speedball is also cocaine and heroin. He was dumb enough to take cocaine, he can walk. If you are gonna treat him, treat him with Valium or any other benzo. ASA and NTG will not work on CP due to cocaine. Something to do w/ the adrenergic rush from the coke.

678, you must be talking about Virtua. The vollies in Jersey need to go. The First Grade Council needs to go. I'll stay in Newark, thank you.

Start in the big city. Then you can become a sarcastic cynical wiseass like me. In all seriousness, you will do more in the city in 1 week than you will rural in 1 month. And Boston's EMS system is better than NYC's. That's probably the only thing Boston has better.

OK, it wasn't supposed to work like that. Here's the link: http://www.nj.gov/health/ems/documents/njac841r.pdf

Yes Dust, NJ has statewide protocols. However, each MICU project can add more drugs, as long as the project's medical director gives his/her blessing. Here you will find the NJ ALS Protocols: [web:bffe1e507a]http://www.nj.gov/health/ems/documents/njac841r.pdf[/web:bffe1e507a]

Rigs have 18 wheels, or dig oil out of the middle of the ocean. That, I believe, is a picture of a bus.

I remember now! Number 6 is No Sleep Til Brooklyn by the Beastie Boys. I am from Brooklyn, of course.

My next Guinness will be for your safe tour and return. As you go embark on your mission, I leave you with an Irish thought: Never sweat the petty things, and always pet the.....uh, nevermind. As in the words of Sgt. Esterhaus, "HEY! Let's be careful out there." Be safe bro.

I think I know you from a past life! Actually, it only takes my partner and I 10 minutes to check my bus. He does the outside, and I do the ALS crap, and then we both tackle the inside. I'm OCD about my bus, and I share it with a couple of day-pukes who don't know how to restock anything. It pisses me off!

I was told by the service I work for in NJ 2 red, then lavender, pink, blue.

Where I work in Jersey, we draw bloods, and the Trauma staff uses our bloods for types and cross. Then again, it's under the 5-8 minute window since we are so close to the Trauma Center. Rid, question for ya. If I start a saline lock, and the person needs blood, can blood go through the lock? When I hang a bag, I always put a lock at the end of the IV tubing to make life easier for the ER staff (they take care of us, so we take care of them).

Apples vs. Oranges

I think it would be great, once the legal crap is sorted out.

University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in Newark, NJ. We cover the airport, so it's close. It's the busiest per capita EMS system in the nation, with over 120,000 jobs a year, with not a lot of ambulances. A lot of sick people, a lot of trauma, and a lot of bullshit. The University Hospital EMS

PARAGOD An (alleged) Paramedic who believes his fecal matter do not emit a foul odor. One who believes he/she is ALWAYS right. One who talks down to everyone, especially BLS. One who does not remember what it's like to do BLS. An overall asshole.

This applies for everyone in the US. Everyone forget about EMTALA?!! If you have a patient that wants to go to a hospital on divert, THE HOSPITAL CANNOT REFUSE THE PATIENT!!! It's Federal Law. I've pissed off my fair share of staff because of it, but I don't care. I take my patients where they want to go.

PA has the PHRN. It's Pre-Hospital Registered Nurse; bascially the Nurse operates as a Paramedic.
