firedoc5 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 It's hard to believe that I made my first official ambulance call 25 yrs. ago on this day. The day before my 18th birthday, the state gave me the one day. In nine days it will be 25 yrs. when I ran my fist code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird, with all teh advancements in patient care, I still find my self falling back on the things I learned in Boy Scout First Aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief1C Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I'd rather be paired up with an old fart, than a young pup... Years of experience, often outweigh stacks of paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defib_wizard Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 hardcore wrote i wasn't even born well I, like a few others on here that have clothes older than you; Would like to remind you all. Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! We who worked in the past have paved the way for all of you noobs. examples: 1 man power gurneys! ha how many remember the old three position fernos that we had to lower to load? disposable suction! remember having to change liners? yeah they worked NOT! blanket rolls instead of disposable headblocks. remember having to roll them for you shifts cleaning with bleach water then having to touch up the polka dots on your pants with a sharpie. Firedoc im a few years behind ya in ems but i did my first drowning as a boy scout 30 years ago. Congrats and thanks for being there when the tones go off.

celticcare Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 And lugging lifepak 33's too eh defib wizard hehehe. Its great to see what the forefathers of EMS have made available for us, and even in my short time in the service things have changed because of our input also. I also wasnt even born then too, though was developing in the womb, picking up telepathic waves of firedocs first call and thinking Paramedic here I come Serve long and serve hard.
