      Pretty cool..I loved those shifts as a student...

      And I think students with new medics is a great idea as long as the medic has been vetted for personality and attitude.

  16. How NOT to impress your medic on the first day: Get the ambulance stuck on a fire scene and in a place where you can't get the wrecker in to pull you out until the fire scene is cleared by all firefighters.

      Ok, let me clarify. Yes, I was the medic and I did tell him where to park. He did feel bad about it but he is by no means a new emt. He has been working as an EMT and a fire fighter for years. This was my first night working with him. Everyone failed to tell me that he has night blindness and had a hard time driving. So when I asked him if he wanted me to drive and he said no I maybe would have driven or at least urged him to let me drive. I am not trying to be bitchy here but I think that th...

      Thanks guys. Teri, there are days where it sinks in and i have the "Oh $hi*, I am the medic and I have a basic partner" or I get the "Hey, I am a medic" moments. I am starting to get more comfortable and I am noticing my confidence is up. Yes it is confidence and not cockiness. :)

      Yup, had one Wednesday night. SAR team dispatched for two hikers injured. Turned out to be one hiker and his dog. The dog was exausted and dehydrated. Went from EMT to Vet LOL BTW the dog is fine, gave a it a little water and some O2 with our Canine NRB. Owner was RMAed LOL Wierdest call sheet I have ever written. "PT was unable to communicate due to language difference, crew followed implied consent protocols."
