Ben, yes you can get an adequate face seal with facial hair. Properly trimmed goatees, even those Village People-esque handlebar mustaches, no problem there. However, I believe this issue is for a FULL BEARD. Now if you think you really can get a ...
So Ben, you're saying that a firefighter has an ill-fitted positive pressure face piece will not suffer any ill-effects in the short term, or the long term, from the routine exposure to noxious chemicals and gases involved in firefighting? I'm sur...
Well, until someone can tell me otherwise, that intangible part will remain in the same caliber as that intangible "charisma" that gets you on the cheerleading squad in high school.
Yes I'm bitter. My legs were sooo less fat then Becky's and I was...
Okay, now I'm confused.
Putting on a traction splint, without causing movement, without putting someone in horrible pain, or just normal splinting, or bleeding control, these AREN'T an Art that need to be practiced, what really takes the years of...
So Derek, you were an EMT for 15 years and are now finishing up your paramedic program. I was an EMT for five years and have been a paramedic for five years. So now, I have five years of ALS experience more than you. So how exactly did your decade...
Here's the thing. This question keeps coming up time and again. BLS experience, anyway you slice it, really means zilch in becoming a paramedic. Didactically, its half of cardiology, and not much more... that figure may be off but I think its abou...
From my days on ICU transport. Maybe they were just yankin' ma chain.

But I hear that there is a gang out there who chases down and kills ...

Gregory Magnan said… - Yep, that's what it boils down to: saving lives, not who is best. We are all in the same business and it's not, 'We're Better than You, Inc.' When you have to spout off I'm better than you are you show immaturity. Heck, 8 year olds do that. Whatever you are, be professional and remember you are there for the patient, not your ego.

Annette Smith said… - I think your lack of faith has tainted your viewpoint. If you are truly from a Chridtian background, you need to fall back to that!
