  1. Here not only can you work as a medic if medics arrive you can even perform certain interventions without calling for medics at provider option. Just depends on your local.
  2. Kiwi that would equal a dead patient .. A class 4 airway is not an easy tube by any means. Essentially the tongue is blocking everything accept the hard pallet. So if someone with a difficult airway is sating well and talking fine .. why bother risk it ?
  3. Sorry there is nothing like that in NYC I cant help ya lol
  4. Which thread are you referring to ? I wasn't aware this was a discussion somewhere else. Ruff, I have answers, but I kind of wanted to see how this played out a bit more before I gave my opinion on it.

    Hiya!

    WELCOME TO THE CITY.
  6. NIBP is noninvasive blood pressure... It is usually used as NIBP to mean an automated cuff whether by lp12 or other. Invasive BP info here http://www.ebme.co.uk/arts/iabp/index.htm
  7. I saw this when the site was down as an option on the bar, somewhere near the marketplace but I no longer see it ... Is it hidden somewhere else?
  8. Industry average depends on your local area. We charge between $450 and $600 just for BLS to show up, plus care, ALS is $800-$1400. I'm sure these prices are outrageous to most but this is NYC!
  9. Although X-ray glasses area great concept, there are just somethings I'd rather not see lol
  10. I agree, however since ugly is not working as an EMT at the time of the incident would she really be responsible for others actions?
  11. There is nothing that bothers me anymore, smell wise or visually, there will be something I'm sure, but nothing I'm aware of, I've gotten over it all after being exposed to it all so often.
  12. Why the medics always got to be burnt out to make a movie about themselves?
  13. Of course its a job in this poopy economy
  14. Well where were you young lady? hard to keep you up to date when you disappear!
  15. Now if only we could get some others to chime in with their opinions.
  16. The same thing that's in my paycheck .. nothing .. lol
  17. EVERY PT requires o2 according to my protocols lol, I can't think of any protocol where we don't give o2 lol.
  18. I don't know about that officer stuff, however you are right, without a protocol and someones scope to work under, wouldn't be able to do any skills really.
  19. Aaron someone always wants to sue you lol... I don't see how a website could get sued over something a member posted, it really is silly.
  20. Paramedics job yes, students job not as much. I can understand being pissed off about not being taught something then being tested on it. However our job is about improvisation, this will develop more in the field then in class.
