ERDoc Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Next week I'm enrolled in brain surgery for dummys so I will be able to play with gray matter. COOOLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hear insurance companys will make people choose EMS brain surgeons as we are cheaper. I just don't know why the class is so long, hope I can stay awake the whole 8 hours. Don't worry about staying awake. Once you have seen one piece of gray matter you have seen them all. If you cut in enough places, eventually you cut the right part. If you make a mistake or the pt starts going downhill, don't sweat it. You didn't learn how to deal with it in your cert class so it must not be important.

Kiwiology Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Embry Riddle is the Harvard of aviation. Every bit as respected as the Air Force Academy. If I had it all to do over again, that's probably where I would want to go right out of high school. ERAU is highly respected as is UND - both where I have friends doing the pilot/ATCS degrees. They are a little bit spoiled but they pay hideous amounts of money for it like $20 grand a year although I hear in the US that is not uncommon (my entire Bachelors degree cost me about $12,000) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it makes you feel better about it, surgeons aren't real doctors anyways. Why else isn't a surgeon called a doctor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustdevil Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Next week I'm enrolled in brain surgery for dummys so I will be able to play with gray matter. I considered that class, but you have to supply your own cordless drill. How can anyone afford that on a paramedic's salary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Star Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I considered that class, but you have to supply your own cordless drill. How can anyone afford that on a paramedic's salary? I picked up a whole set tof cordless power tools for under $200.00 Say what you will about Black & Decker, but the 24v Fire Storm line seems to be pretty much indestructable....

It looks like you are taking the 3 hour ortho cert course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenac Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 It looks like you are taking the 3 hour ortho cert course. Darn I took the 8 hour didn't know there was an accelerated course. If it makes you feel better about it, surgeons aren't real doctors anyways. Why else isn't a surgeon called a doctor? But at least they practice medicine unlike D.O.'s.

Kiwiology Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 He's right ... surgeons here generally have the title of Mister or Professor, although not always. Mwahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERDoc Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 But at least they practice medicine unlike D.O.'s. Ouch, especially coming from the ambulance driver (twice in 1 week, boo-ya!!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPINFV Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 But at least they practice medicine unlike D.O.'s. Meh, we're actually like super doctors with the use of our manipulative techniques. Plus KCOM is harboring a robot A.T. Still that will some day lead the DOs to dominate the MDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
