  1. You also have to think about the traffic around you. I was in a car with my mother driving when she was pulled over for something (she didn't get any points, just a tiny fine). While stopped there was a three car MVC from the gapers block caused by all of those flashing lights. I understand the danger involved in traffic stops, but there should be a happy medium between protecting the officer from risks in front and not distracting drivers to the rear.
  2. I'm applying for a volunteer tech rescue/EMS company. They have rescue ambulances that carry extrication equipment and will give you all of the required rescue training. I have met some of the people in it and they all seem like they'd be great to work with. If you are looking for a part time volunteer job, Jersey is not always a bad place to start.
  3. So when do you use smelling salts versus painful response? When I deal with an ETOH I usually use a sternal rub. When I was doing rotations in the hospital I saw the nurses use ammonia inhalents on the drunks and they would respond in a similar way to a good 'ole rub on the sternum.
  4. First the NYT would have to take an interest in EMS.
