I can't speak for other people, I did attempt to be nice, but based on his posts in other area's all put together it is safe to assume he is brand new. Which is fine, everyone starts somewhere, but with some of the statements he has made, he needs to be made aware of the larger picture.

I agree, as long as they are shooting at each other and not us.

Wow that is cool, I don't really understand the complexities, of sealing a hole. It certainly looks quite difficult!

Be prepared to follow through, with telling them who the partner was, when it occurred etc... and to put it in writing.

Troll alert on!

Just stay away from the entire state. Heck just stay away from EMS providers anywhere, who ever wants to be a patient!

Welcome to the city

They still use horses? I thought they had the probies pulling the old rigs

Yes we are in agreement here.

I'm not sure how I feel about this yet ... Interesting idea though.

Ready for this one ? Any cop, firefighter, bystander, can do a modified jaw thrust if you tell them put your hands here and do this. I don't see why you couldn't roll the patient supine and the person holding stabilization could also to the modified jaw thrust. Truth is while prone, put a long board on his back, roll him and there you go took away an entire step in your care. This is not even close to complicated. I understand in Canada Paramedic = US EMT right ? because if they are equivalent you didn't belong in the class to begin with.

You see a lot of patients with need for NCD? I've seen it once and I work in a very busy system. (NYC EMS)

The question isn't what he weighed but if he could do the same things he was requiring you to do.

Oh okay. got it

Who treats patients? I'm all about stealing the socks!

We had an instructor that used to play patient, that only had one lung, for the students that faked lung sounds.

This will cause one hell of a poop storm.

Although anythings possible, it would be more likely for everyone in NYC EMS to get a 25K raise evenly across the board. I was taught that in EMT school years ago, doesn't give me a feel of improvisation, gives me a feel of what it should be.

I meant hid my shears

I'm no fool, I smelt Lone's feet from down the road, and I hid them
