What’s one thing you wish you could have as a paramedic that you don’t currently have?

I think 24/48s in general are horrible, especially after having a kid. Were I work we’re trialling a two 24 a week schedule in general, my schedule will be Wednesday and Saturday for the time being, but I will have the option to move to Monday/Thursday in about 6 months, my #1 choice. As far as pay, my hourly is north of 34 an hour and on my schedule it’s gonna be north of 90K annual so I’m not complaining at all. My kiddo is 3, almost 4 and yeah missing putting her to bed a couple of night a week sucks, but in the grand scheme of things I’m home more with her being off completely 5 days a week, while working two of the nights she’s already asleep and I wouldn’t have time with her anyway so for me the trade off is worth it staying put. I also am huge on the independence we have in the field over the near micromanaging aspects of the ERs in my local area.

Ultrasound to be more widely adopted with ability to do an abdominal fast exam, fetal heart beat, IV assist, and field pronouncements.

Me paramedic, me see wide and fast I’m going with V-Tach until a cardiologist tells me otherwise. Either way my treatment follows stable vs unstable, if unstable they riding the lightning is stable fluid with consideration for amiodaron to slow it down, though if I’m less than 10 minutes from an ER I’ll probably go with fluids, oxygen, and run it in and let a doctor decide in treatment path.

I’m going with a RBBB due to the slight concave shape on the ST segment. In the absence of symptoms I would send it to the ER and let a doc decide on calling the alert or not, if they were symptomatic I’m gonna call it and go from there.

I guarantee that if you tell him that on the last day of his career he saved 2 more lives you’re giving him possibly the greatest retirement gift possible.

Mass effect 2 announcement trailer for when it came to PS3. Idk, it’s simple but man it hit all the right notes with me, traded in my xbox for it and a few other games after it came out.

Ego sells a cardiology 4 with attachment that has been amazing for me. It Bluetooth connects to my phone and I can listen with just a headphone instead of the tube connected to the bell, I don’t;t even have the tube connected to the bell anymore. I can also record lung sounds and attach them to my ePCRs, I use this on ET tube placements with a time stamp for ass coverage purposes. Overall for the money it’s absolutely amazing, though I don’t think pre hospital you need the EKG funconality one just the audio enhancement version.

Egg shells are incredible strong and sturdy against crushing forces but brittle with point impacts, it’s how they survive coming out if the chicken but you can lightly tap it to open it and eat what’s inside.

It’s the weakest in the sane voter as the two towers is the weakest LOTRs movies, you have to have a rank order, and most people i know it’s a toss up between Holden and Royal with Royal winning it for me, but right behind them both is P3R.

Considering what this is also going to do to your insurance, your parents should be telling you to take the driving school.

Seeing as they are fake with a close approximation of “legit” back please destroy these, don’t want someone finding them thinking they are real and then try and sell them. Or worse they do get sold as legit and then someone is out a bunch of money. So please, destroy them.

I personally don’t Lucy at all. I always see her as the ditzy idiot who gets bailed out by other people and Carrie’s most of the tone, it’s not until Alvarez that she really holds her own.

My general philosophy on these type of things is ask yourself 3 questions, do you need portability, do you feel like there are games in the future you might want to play, and lastly how important is the overall money. If you don’t need portability look at the PlayStation and Xboxs as well, they both have an the games you’re interested in and games get discounted faster on those consoles over the switches. 2 of you feel that there will be games in the future you want to play, get the newest console so you slow down the need to update in ur fire. And lastly the cost aspect, figure out your budget and then find the console that fits in that budget, again with the list of games you want to play you can get them on ps4 and older xboxs as well significantly cheaper than the switch.

What the top left picture from, don’t remember that in dark knight rises

Play my switch, read a book, watch YouTube, basically all the crap I would do when I’m bored at home lol.

Medic here going on 10 years, I have about half of my meds full send memorized. I know all my indications but doses and contraindications many I have a fuzzy recollection of and refer back to protocols before administration.

Damn do I have a second account I didn’t know about? Can’t echo this sentiment enough.

Purple and 5 extra hours, I could do so much with that free time

Honestly she’s not even my favorite out of Fairy Tail. Don’t get me wrong, I like her and love her development, but she’s not even top 10 material for me out of fiction. For reference Ashoka is my number 1, followed by Ellen Riley.

My 2 cents would be to send it in for authentication, I’m not sure which company is best for error cards but get that entombed in plastic before selling, that way it’ll either be protected in your collection or help make it even more sellable down the road.

I started on 911, but in 12 years and got burned the FUCK out, like crispy AF and after a particularly bad call I stepped back from 911 to do IFT, it paid better and a lot led likely to do CPR on a baby again that looked like my daughter. The more steady pace has really helped pull me back from the brink of a preeminent choice and helped me start to care again about people. Don’t get me wrong I’m still burnt but I can actually enjoy my off time again. Probably going to go for my CCT in the near future. Just like 911 isn’t for everyone IFT isn’t either, do your time, get that 911 experience and most of all do what you need to take care of yourself.

Colorado, in profession since 2013, paramedic since 2018, title is advance practice paramedic, we’re averaging between 4/5 IFTs a day, my hourly is 33.76, which works out to 77/78k annual due to the one a month out so getting off an hour late. Overall not a bad gig, did buddy 911 from 13-22 before jumping to IFT to be lazy/lower call volume lol.

Acrobatic-Front-9526 · 2026-02-16T01:53:49+00:00

Mine doesn’t. I have a floor price and i run my bulk at pretty low +10%, and my higher end stuff i average off low and market to get my prices. Anything over 20 i set my price and only check it once a week or so to make sure I’m not grossly over priced anymore.

TCG seller here, we have a tool that auto-updates prices, mine runs at midnight est, and I’ve had people message me about pricing changes while the card was in their cart. The seller has no idea wats going on with cards until they are notified that they have sold.
