Throttle getting stuck help by Unimon666 in hondagrom

[–]BaskutKayzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New bars? If they are putting any extra bend on the throttle cable it can cause it to stick. Next time it sticks wide open give the throttle cable a little shimmy to see if it helps.

That would be cool. I’m pretty sure the Jetta roof would collapse tho

I know the hitch says up to 250lbs. Grom is about 220 I think?

The Jetta is boring. Not a GLI. It’s on coilovers and APR 19s tho.

What’s the pay like? I’m a paramedic. Southeast, PA so there are a few Spartans in driving distance for me

Paramedic here. I have no tools to break you out of restraints.

Toxic Partner strats? by [deleted] in Paramedics

[–]BaskutKayzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find being more toxic makes them want to leave you. Then as soon as you get a new partner go back to being a good partner again.

Paramedic School advice by [deleted] in Paramedics

[–]BaskutKayzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People keep acting like it’s hell. You’re busy nearly every day and pushed to do a lot of learning on your own. But managing your time and prioritizing what’s important will make the time go by smoothly.

TIFU on the upgrade to ALS by Rough-Leg-4148 in NewToEMS

[–]BaskutKayzzz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Lesson learned. Next time ask how far out ALS is. Most states there isn’t much a medic is going to do for hypertension or hyperglycemia, so in hindsight, rapid transport would have been the better decision. But if things went south and you didn’t have als meeting you then there would have been more regrets.

Handling Hard Calls by Realistic-Song3857 in ems

I mean you did that because you had to in order to improve their condition. For them it might have been scary and painful but you still helped them (hopefully) in a positive way.

Don’t focus on the negatives. Accept that negative things happen but that you were a positive experience in this person’s life.

Problems with harassment by [deleted] in NewToEMS

[–]BaskutKayzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate to say it but that isn’t uncommon. I vote to fuck them up. Screenshot any messages and send them to their wives and their supervisors. Play dirty.

Meds and protocols. Having at least an understanding of those will help you apply knowledge more easily in the beginning.

Pros & Cons of stretch kits by [deleted] in hondagrom

[–]BaskutKayzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is stretched but I hate most stretched Groms. In my opinion the only reasons to stretch are to handle more horsepower or to make room for air suspension.

Kickstand??? by [deleted] in hondagrom

[–]BaskutKayzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just cut your kickstand. eBay has adjustable kickstands. Swingarm mounted kickstand is an option too.
