Skip,
I used chased the Tonawanda Parmedics around on my bicycle. They've recently hired some of the good people I used to work with at Twin City and my parents would LOVE me to apply there. It amazes me that the middle-class community has the on...

Isn't James Orsino head of the Boston Police Patrolman's Association? Or is it one-and-the-same person?
I think he is the head of BOTH the Boston PPA and EMSLA (EMS Labor Alliance), correct? Did this Boston Police Off...
My point is that nobody has heard of EMSLA in the broad EMS community. If this group is doing something, please start telling people about it - not here in a forum, but in the major EMS publications, the media, etc.
I think you're confused.

Eric, if that is what EMSLA is TALKING about, I hope that it starts DOING soon. Nobody I know has even HEARD of EMSLA, or anything new about an EMS labor movement. Please start spending some money, taking some positions, and doing something visibl...
And that sir is why we have EMSLA. More people need to become involved with them and with them, more legislation can be passed for EMS and by doing this, we will have less overworked, higher quality of care in EMS. And I always told myself that wh...

JEMS Games Final Scenario pictures!
Check out these pictures taken by EMS Today show photographer Glen Ellman. The final scenario was a bar brawl with five critical patients. It included off-duty law enforcement officers, an injured bartender, a provider being taken hostage by a patron who ends up being a patient and lots of shootings and stabbings. The continuing education session, delivered by JEMS Medical Editor Ed Dickinson, MD, FACEP, included graphic images of eviscerations, shooting and stabbing victims.… Continue

EMS Today Exhibit Hall Opens Today
The exhibit hall for the 2009 EMS Today Conference & Exposition opened today, and not only is it in an expanded exhibit hall space, but it also seems to me like there are just as many -- if not more -- attendees. People made their way down the staircase and milled around, checking out hot new products and talking with exhibitors.

Want to Live Forever? Eat Sushi
I’d never heard Corey Slovis, MD, FACP, FACEP, give a lecture. But his reputation precedes him, and I had heard so much about his speaking style (OK, the content too) that when I found myself with some free time on Thursday afternoon, I decided to duck into the session, “EMS Diagnosis and Treatment of AMI,” to see what all the fuss was about. I definitely wasn’t alone. In fact, even though the 3 p.m. session was a repeat from the morning, it was standing room only. Which wasn’t fun for me since… Continue

Chris Cangemi said… - Ms. Berry,
I'd like to wish you the best of luck and much success in the EMS field. After 25 years I retired as a Battalion Chief Paramedic just outside of Baltimore. Other than my wife, five children and two grandchildren, nothing has brought me more pleasure than my career in EMS. IF there is ever any advice or encouragement you may need please don't hesitate to contact me. My family and I now reside here in Raleigh, North Carolina. Best of Luck and be safe!
Chris

i'd like to invite you to revisit the topic of Universal Care in the discussion here:
http://connect.jems.com/forum/topics/the-new-healthcare
There are some good examples of why our healthcare system needs reform, and why expanding coverage to make it "universal" or nearly universal can SAVE money (meaning spend less than we are currently spending on healthcare).
Then, if you'd like to see how the new healthcare reform legislation (Obamacare) directly impacts EMS, join me here:
http://connect.jems.com/forum/topics/rubber-meets-the-road
and a GREAT discussion on whether medical care is a fundamental human right here:
http://connect.jems.com/forum/topics/should-emtala-be-rewritten-as
Quite frankly, I need your help in convincing the unwashed that reform is vital.
Thank you,
Tom

Brad Newbury said… - Hi Jenn,
I don't know who had the idea of Jems Connect but I think is great. What a concept to have a place were EMS professionals from around the world can connect. Thank you and your staff for creating a fun web site to visit daily.
Are you attending the EMS Today conference? I work for Elsevier too, on the publishing side. I had developed and interactive web based paramedic program and the sales staff in St. Louis have brought me on board to help other instructors learn how to use evolve. I will be in the trade booth helping the sales force showcase some of their products.
I know in Las Vegas it was one big booth, but I was only there for a few hours. I will be there the entire time that the show is open. If your get a chance, stop by I would like to say hello in person.

TheCannulator said… - Jennifer, whilst the listing of stories was great on the JEMS homepage the apathy on JEMSConnect was disappointing. Myself and a number tried to raise awareness with local news with real information and also the Red Cross Appeal. I even emailed the webchief with a request to pin the appeal stuff on the forums but never got a reply. A couple of overseas members showed interest but generally no one really cared. A pity given the response in Manpower from the US and other countries. But it shows that if it isn't in your backyard and no one is interested. Quite funny considering we have 5 fires still out of control. Considering that the main fire took out an area bigger than entire US states. So I do get frustrated that posts reagrding other boring and insginificant stuff was taking more interest from members than 200+ plus incinerated deaths. it was directed at them and not the monkey.

Nathan Jennings said… - B-town will always have a special place in my heart. I wasn't from there, I actually hail from Hagerstown (it's just a lil dot on the map). During the summers from when I was 15 till I was 20 I worked the summers at the Boy Scout camp on Lake Monroe. Then I started hiking southern IN all the time and kinda made B-town my unofficial base camp, specifically Upland Brewery. And you can't beat a show down at the Bluebird!

Hi everyone, I have been working a Fly Car now for 2 years. I also like the concept. In fact, the hospital that I am working in (Bangkok, Thailand) is the only hospital base ambulance that operate this type of vehicle with multi-tasks.
If you work in a "fly car" or "first responder" this is the place for you. Say hello, get to know each other, share experiences good or bad. A good place to vent or just learn what we all do in our regions.
Very interestingly, how do you apply them (ice packs) on the patient ?
