  1. As I'm helping Dylan with his Lego project I'm wondering if it's still considered quality father/son time when despite my very best efforts to contribute, hour after hour, about the only words I hear are, "Um, that's not right", "I already did that part", and "Dad, I think I should do this by myself."

      No Dad, you CAN'T put that there, that's where the roof goes! MOM! Please tell Dad to go watch TV or something!

      Just remember: You can't make somebody love you...the best you can do is stalk them long enough and hope that they'll panic and give in!

  3. You wait for a chance to talk to someone important just to find out that person had to go to bed before you got off work...damn time zones.

      Or you're on the other end of that, and wait for someone to call you...only to find out they went out to the bar instead....

  5. Looks like I'm going to have to drop Paramedic course again. Just spent 3 weeks in the hospital....too far behind to catch up

      I was in my last semester....problem is, he was also the one that put me at stations that had very low call volume. Not able to meet the States 'quotas' if there aren't any calls.....

      ACLS down, PALS and GEMS to go....

  10. Not sure how I did it, but somehow I got through ACLS (88 on the written and passed the practicals)!! *looks nervously toward PALS*

    1. Lone Star

      This is why we need to increase not only educational standards, but increase the 'minimum passing score' from 70% to at least 80%, like most nursing programs have!

      Race,

      I'm definately pickin' up what you're layin' down, man.

      Be honest though, Would you rather have a paramedic who can only pull out a '70% right answer', or would you prefer a medic that can pull off that '90% right answer' showing up to work on you or your family?

  15. Squiggly lines on a piece of graph paper.....what does it mean? Here we go again, cardiology...

    1. Lone Star

      Lone Star

      It means that an earthquake has just occurred. That's not 'V-Fib'...it's 7.6 on the Richter Scale!

  16. Bought a cup of pumpkin spiced latte at the bucks, thy had 3 tip boxes strategically placed on the counters. Is it expected to leave a tip? I don't leave one at mcdonalds so why should we at the bucks? Just a question.

    1. Lone Star

      Lone Star

      Tip jars are the 'wave of the future'. Just because someone takes my order and then hands me a paper bag does NOT qualify as 'service', and therefore does NOT deserve 'gratuity'.

      I will NOT be 'guilted' into leaving a gratuity (tip) for someone doing their job (wait staff excluded)!

  17. Big Daddy got his first 'live tube' today! It was freaking AWESOME!!! The Antesthetist and the NA were fantastic with all the help and coaching! When the cords slid into view (the Antsthetist did the Sellik's Maneuver), it was almost like having 'buck fever'....I almost couldn't insert the ET because I was awestruck with what I was doing and the view....

      Yeah, it DEFINATELY makes me glad thatI'm taking the 'long road! I have to admit though, a couple times I panicked and bailed on my first couple tubes...

  18. Quick!! Don't google it. What in the world is Hassenpfeffer and what cartoon made it famous.

    1. Lone Star

      Lone Star

      Hassenpfeffer is German for 'rabbit stew'. It was made 'famous' by Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam. The 'proof' can be seen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDe8fTgVUZw

  20. I understand each segment of the EKG represents a specific action within the heart during the cardiac cycle. The problem I'm having is when the segments are put together.....

    1. Lone Star

      Lone Star

      when you put the segments together, it creates a squiggly line that could mean just about anything...

      Spenac, I own that book!

      I've seen on television where Governors are ordering mandatory evacuations, and they're quick to point out to those who are choosing to ignore that: "If you get in trouble and need assistance during the storm, there will be no one available to help you!"....
