    Ah crap, another place to add to the "Do Not Visit" list

    On a side note I wonder what the canine dosing scheme is. If it is the same weight based formula for humans or not

    Kudos to them! They covered themselves even by having the vet consult over the phone.... so now they weren't practicing veterinary medicine without a liscence since it was delegated to them.

    Thanks for that post Doc! Out of everything you listed my only choice would be Versed/Fentanyl but its good to finally see some clear numbers on recommended dosing.

    Quoted for truth
  6. akroeze
    Are there any "leaked previews" of what is to come?
  7. akroeze
    I really wish they would let us carry Mag Sulfate at all...
  8. akroeze
    What, no pool? That's rough man.

    I doubt it. From what I understand ALS in BC is nearly non-existent. And I doubt they'd allow out of province ACPs to practice there to fill in the gaps.
  10. akroeze
    So now I shouldn't consider Alberta OR BC? My options keep shrinking! No AB or BC NB, the territories and NF (I think) don't have ALS. Not many options left. What is it with all these EMS problems happening at the same time?? Is this economy related or just coincidence?

    Ok so initial startup cost greater but not for ongoing operation. Except when you consider that EACH BIG is a stand alone device so it is much more versatile in that regard.
  12. akroeze
    What is the cost difference? I'm thinking start up is going to be more for the EZ as you have to buy a bunch of drills. Assuming the needles are cheaper than a BIG, how many EZ insertions would one have to do in order to have saved money over the BIG? I know it isn't all about whats cheapest, but lets be honest... it factors in.

    I haven't met an ER nurse who would pull an IO. They would always leave that decision up to the doc.

    One study in one area != all of Canada Just saying.

    Driver fail

    I'll be man enough to admit that I might have treated that patient incorrectly. Obviously I don't know for sure what I would have done but salvos of V-tach was my thought process.
  17. akroeze
    I would consider NB except in reading the ANB website they don't seem to have ACPs in their system.
  18. akroeze
    Ok follow up question. To those who have responded thank you very much for your input, I have several options open to me and right now if I don't get a job I'm looking at: AB, NS, BC as my short list (plus going out of country). What kind of time frame are we looking at? I keep hearing April 1st. Is it a case of "all will be revealed" on that date? Or is that just the first day in a long process of finding out what will really happen?
  19. akroeze
    Which would be 8 hours a day for 18 days straight. Not that hard to do really and same amount of hours.
  20. akroeze
    So what does this all mean for me as a jobless ACP who may be looking at a province such as yours to find one? Is this situation to MY benefit or is this a situation where I should wait for the dust to settle?
  21. akroeze
    Can't view the main article Where was this study done? That's a great survival to discharge.
  22. akroeze
    Don't do it. Get your Paramedic ASAP. There is no benefit and lots of potential negatives to "getting some experience" first.
  23. akroeze
    I love the concept of that!

    Happy π day!

    akroeze replied to akroeze's topic in Archives

    Technically the Pi moment is March 14 @ 1:59am and 26 seconds. That having been said most people think of Pi as 3.14 therefore the entire day is known as Pi day.

    I tend to take the view that this further cements the relationship between doctors and EMS which shouldn't have to be there in the first place. This will make it even harder to become an independent profession with our own scope of practice if we have a group who has their own agenda for keeping it under their domain.
