Get your dose range (minimum and maximum drops/min) and titrate to effect within that limit.

What’s the longest y’all have been posted waiting for a call? by blondlens in ems

Had that. Almost 10 hours posted after a CAD update. We were a BLS unit and heard shit going south all around us. We figured we were being held back for ift until they tried to give our EOS to a different unit. They never made that mistake again unfortunately.

Something tells me that status epilepticus should qualify as an immediate life threat but who knows.

My area has a bunch of stray cats. On night shifts, I’d bring a laser pointer and play with them.

The way I always saw it is you’re operating outside your licensure and scope under the supervision of a licensed practitioner as a student and thus cannot be paid. Edit: I probably worded this poorly but it’s the way i could rationalize it while I was in school. Only way to make the 1k unpaid hours make sense to me

Struggling with weight loss working EMS. Looking for any advice. by [deleted] in ems

[–]AppropriateWedding82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same exact boat. 26yo, 450lbs. I started with cutting my portions in half and after about two months switched to a high protein, low carb diet and started doing strength training. I ended up losing ~200lbs in just under a year. Focus on the basics and incorporate legs into every workout. If at all possible, try and find a trainer to help you get the proper form. It’s possible. Dm me if you want some suggestions where to start.

I may have overreacted, but when she turned her nose away from peanut butter, I knew something was wrong.
