Not to backseat mod here, but stop shitting up the thread. Somebody asks a legitimate question and some of you immediately have to reply with something that has nothing to do with the original post. No matter what size she is, she's obviously employed and that means she can do her job! Now answer the question.

Here in Carson City you have to be 18 and sign an agreement of sorts to ride along with EMS or the police.

Heheh, that is a good one :twisted:

Nevada has it. I don't know about dropping them off at police stations (I would imagine so) but I know that in my city and many others you can bring them to the fire station.

04-11-2002 is absolutely terrible. Accidently killing your chief would be one of the worst possible things I can imagine

eBaumsworld is terrible, Something Awful is where it's at. EMT City goons?

I was hoping experts exchange would be in there, whenever I have a computer problem I can't figure out on my own, I always go there and giggle when I read "expert sex change" Great job!

I've found a fantastic website about defensive tactics in EMS. It has videos and pictures of how to combat someone with a gun, bat, knife or simply just hand-to-hand defense. There's a forum as well. They also sell DVDs and encourage EMS providers to study these videos and even present a course about defensive EMS tactics. You can view all (I think) of the videos on YouTube here, and the website "Defensive Tactics for EMS" or DT4EMS is here. I found all of these videos very interesting, I thought I would share it with you all.

As for the actual question, I don't know. However, "Paramedics" got taken off the air because the medics made far too many mistakes. Could this be one of them?

Wrong your. wrong your. wrong your. wrong your. wrong your. wrong your! YOU'RE for YOU ARE. :x :x :x Seriously, I see this SO MUCH and it pisses me off. As for the actual thread, it would have been better not to stop, but you did nothing wrong.

I was wondering too, it looks like a Firefighting/EMS forum.

Technically you are, EMT-P. However the only time "EMT" is used is when someone is Basic or an Intermediate, so I see what you're saying. :wink:

Whew, that's a lot of birthdays. Happy B-Day to all of those people..

That's pretty awesome Ace.

Ace you sure like to debate a lot :?

Art didn't do that, it's a story from another guy.

I'm with most of you here, the second episode has done it for me... almost. I could NOT believe that the producers and medical advisors even had the thought to have a part in the episode where John "Sack" Hallon's CHILD went for a ride-along. I was livid when the CHILD put gloves on and found the finger, and the crazy ambulance driving was terrible. I'm about an episode away from hating this shitty show. :evil:

Chuck Norris' tears can cure cancer. Unfortunately, he never cries. Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door. Although I hate 80% of the crappy cliched Chuck Norris jokes, I liked those two.

Uhh... you kicked their asses right? Because.. I know you could take 'em. :twisted:

12:15 AM here.. but look who's on top.

Hah, gave me a late night chuckle.

Hahaha, that made me giggle. Good slideshow, make another sometime!

Heheh, the EMT/Paramedics vs Firefighters is a non-issue here, for the most part. Everyone is a Firefighter/Paramedic except for about 10 sole firefighters.
