I'll tell ya what, you haven't seen one quote from me anywhere in the "city" off of any other web site, secondly, if you read the "PCP calling themselves medics" thread, you will get a better idea of who i am. as far as "running through any doors" with you.......well that's NOT going to happen in this life time. i don't understand how it is that a "BROTHER" can put out such a blanket insult like you did, and not care that he did it!!!!!

it's one thing to discuss or argue a point (win or lose), but that is uncalled for!!!!

offended by a "BROTHER"

MADMEDIC

still here, on top

madmedic

ummm............yeah! LMAO! good video, i liked it!

nice job, but now i'm on top

madmedic

when "we" get kicked out on a sudden death and you get there before me, don't tell me, on the air, the pt is breathing on his own when your bagging him as i show up, oh by the way, that isn't a weak blood pressure/pulse that is asystole and maybe we should do some compressions 5 to 7 mins after you got there.

jeep_911, good video, i liked how you were able to show that EMS is a lifestyle. just curious what was the inspiration?

job security!!!!

tpbm has driven cross country naked

wait one minute...........I've stayed out of this so far, but you comment about Asysn's education slaps me in the face. are you stating that just because i went to PARAMEDIC school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am to 3pm with a one hour lunch break, and only had to do 300 hrs in hospital/ 300 hrs ride time with a list of skills to preform and Pt's to treat..........i don't compare with your medics!!!! i do believe that years, yes YEARS, of experience and continuing education speaks for itself!!!!!!

no matter what your initial education consists of.........there is a difference between being a "paper"medic and a PARAMEDIC!!!!!!!

madmedic

ace, sorry i got off the subject!!

it would seem to me that it would have to start at the level of our med con, whether it be their assisting us with a direction to follow or taking over the project all together. i would think that the information base would already be in place, it just needs to be studied!

after that not only a well written comprehensive unbiased study, but the adoption, by different educational programs available to EMS providers, up to and including continuing education.

now my question is: how do we narrow down the cause and effect, to get this started?

only an opinion!

madmedic

hey terri nice to meet you too........sorry to hear about your pants being on fire LOL.........on top again!

ace, thanks! I'm all for making improvements and changes out in the street as long as they benefit the pt and their out come, no matter what the situation is.

i think it gets back to our education and being responsible for it, which is why i always encourage my medic students (I'm a preceptor) to ask about their treatments at the hospital, so they/we can better understand what we are doing out here.

as far as our effectiveness, it gets back to what azcep stated, we need to take our profession more seriously.

madmedic

OK that's what i thought, politicians, LOL!

so this was written by a bunch of PhDs that sit in a little office and compile a bunch of incomplete info, then through their opinion out there!

still the topic makes for a good discussion!

madmedic

azcep, i do agree with that statement, and i believe that is the biggest issue with MY med con. it is a constant battle where I'm at, because we have so many cowboys who want to save the world, but don't want to put in the time when it comes to education. i work in a small county in MO that has 2 hospitals, so use of helicopters is important, due to the fact that both hospitals are level 3 trauma centers. every time that a decision to "fly" is made we get torn apart by med con, and the biggest problem is our EMS Liaison. however it comes back to the medics and emts in this area not taking the time to further their education as you stated

that's my opinion about where i'm at, and i'm sticking to it!

madmedic

ace, am i reading this correctly? did the article in your last post state "in the absence of evidence about the effectiveness" of ALS.

I'm questioning the article, and just want to make sure of what I'm reading before i respond to it.

otherwise so far interesting!

madmedic

lmao.....page 99 should buy me some seniority..........so i,m still on top

yaaaawwwwwnnnnn! i,ve been on top since page 99.............and i'm still here!

NOT so fast there.........i'm on top.......or is this the other one? i can't keep them straight, LOL!

i'm on top anyways!!!

WOW I'm tired, and on top

tpbm, was awaken by tones while sleeping on the toilet

i said earlier i don't "like" to be on top, but i do eat oatmeal pie while walking around naked

i'm on the top

has her cancer returned and spread? was the Milrinone prescribed with the chemo 1.5 yrs ago?

I do apologize for not getting all the info yet, I'm trying to get some food before i get another call.

BTW Doc, LOL, no, i don't have one of those fancy CT scan things. LOL!

ok....no wait i'm on top

ahhhhhh! THERE'S NOTHING BETTER THAN THE LADIES BEING ON TOP...........did i say that out loud,

i'm on top!

she sounds a&ox3 so far, is she? vs and PE, pmhx, Rx, allergies?

start with some universal cardiac care, o2 via NC 2-6 lpm, EKG, d-stick, iv.

was she seen for the mvc, and if so what (if anything) was found?

how is her vision, other than noted above, anything else with that?

ENT anything remarkable there?

good neuro exam, any deficit?

what about some orthostatic vs, if the above doesn't show anything significant.

any family on scene? do they know of any sz activity?

any N&V?

as far as i know in MO.....you have to be 18 to work on 911 trucks, but the privates will not let you drive until your 21. they will let you tech on basic trucks. around eastern MO (St Louis) working for a private is your best bet in your situation to get experience while your furthering your education. hope this helps.

OK here's one, color coded and matching pen light, scissors, and stethoscope.................guilty as well, LOL!
