Woohoo! Grabbing the ol' booksack and lunchbox and going to give Paramedic schoolin' a try (yes, it's the accelerated). Any advice or tips for a nervous Basic?
Frank Lenoir replied to Michael's discussion EMT-B Pay."$11.10 to start, decent benefits, all the OT you could ever want.
Side note: Thanks for that vote of confidence for Basics. I was just filing the paperwork for an ACS call a few minutes ago, then read the snobbery earlier in the thread. I almost…"
Frank Lenoir replied to Terry Childe's discussion Palpation to Abdomen with Impaled Knife"My highly oversimplified EMT-B perspective: There's a knife impaled in the quadrant. Palpation is used to determine potential / probable problems to the area. There are problems in that area; there-is-a-knife impaled there. If I had a knife…"
Ms Smith left a comment for Frank Lenoir"Just checking in on you, hope all is well with you. Have a great weekend!"
Frank Lenoir commented on JEMS Web Team's video
Texting While Driving PSA: Too Graphic? Appropriate?
"This should be a mandatory part of every school's curriculum. It's one thing to tell a teen (or adult for that matter) how dangerous it is, but another entirely to show them the actual consequences. Great video.
Be safe."
Frank Lenoir commented on Frank Lenoir's blog post Invention"Indeed it was! :) Being a very, VERY slow evening on the Emergency Medical front, with everything already being cleaned / scrubbed / sanitized numerous times, and being a little burned out on studying for classes this fall, I had AMPLE time to…"
Ms Smith commented on Frank Lenoir's blog post Invention"LOL That's just funny!!! Was it suitable to accommodate all of your toiletries? Just curious."

I have just fabricated, for my locker, a toiletry holder fashioned out of emesis bags (yes, unused) and felt an inappropriate amount of pride in myself. Anyone else have ideas for non-productive around-the-station amusement?
Frank Lenoir replied to Trent Baker's discussion Tricks of the trade. Got any?"I love the D-ring idea... that would have come in handy soooo many times with stairchairs / wheelchairs / even dialysis chairs... :D

Frank Lenoir replied to Dave Springer's discussion Just as the art of nursing has been lost on new nurses, has the art of EMS been lost on new Medics? in the group Older Medic's in EMS"From a relatively "new" farts perspective...:
Leading by example has been the single largest influencing factor I've seen so far. When I was doing clinicals, I saw my preceptors conducting themselves professionally, but with the…"

- I listen better to people who speak quietly than people who yell. I believe the best EMS teachers are patients. I'll put a c-collar on anything that will stand still long enough. I no longer smoke, but I'm up to about 12 gallons of coffee a day. I wonder if aquatic medics are called med-ducks. (Let's see how many people that pisses off, lol) I love and appreciate all my brothers and sisters in EMS, Fire / Rescue and Law Enforcement. BSI, my scene is safe...

Amazingly Simple Home Remedies
(as described by my old EMS teacher, along with, sadly enough, the disclaimer that these are only a joke, and should NOT be tried *sigh*)
1: If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat, and presto! The blockage will be almost instantly removed.
2: Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.
3: Avoid arguments with your partner about using… Continue
