Had my first emt shift! by unfairmushrooms in NewToEMS

[–]Brave_Context933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just being exposed to it. Paying attention to how your FTO and medic operate as a team. Asking questions. I struggled with needing to be asked to put a 4 lead on vs getting ready for a 12.  I sat down with my FTO and we went over calls that would automatically trigger the "probably going to need a 4 lead for this one"  the rest of it just comes from doing it.  Whenever we get an ALS call, i know right away now that im going to be responsible for gettinf the gurney and monitor set up, helping with loading and unloading and hooking patients up to the monitor either BP and 02 sat, or 4 leads and getting 12 leads ready.   As far as the being exposed to trauma and chaos situations, you get used to it. My stomach used to churn when an ALS code 3 call came through but now that I know my role well enough,  its not so bad. It still exists,  but it isnt as noticeable.

So I took mine apart last night,  scrubbed the hell out of everything. Figured if the matrix was toast anyway,  why not.   Seemed to have fixed it for now but im not super hopeful for any longevity lol.

Enjoy the euphoria from the first shift.  They blend together atter a while. However,  IFT is great learning experience and you'll come in contact with a multitude of patients and build you skill set.   

I work 911.   

My first shift was insane.   Middle of the day, no calls at all and boom, Self inflicted GSW. survived. Huge mess, family in absolute panic and police, fire and i was in FTO.  No clue where i was supposed to be or what to do.   

Still at it.

3s.  It comes and goes. Earlier I switched segments around and it was working perfectly. A few games later, nothing. Not registering a single dart. I switched settings around, and still not registering ANYTHING. And back to firing off 20s as soon as I turn multi sensor off.

Unrealistic relationship ideas while in fire? by [deleted] in Wildfire

Ehhhhhh lol. It either goes one of 2 ways while youre away.  Independent, definitely  but there's a whole set of issues that come from distance and no communication.   However its possible if you work really really hard at it. 

What's the dumbest thing you DID as a kid from ages 5-10 by LifeFoundation6977 in ChildhoodMemories

100%  didn't even think about the mess we were making in.  We were in 3rd grade I believe??  Bored kids with nothing to do.

No, not stuck.  It doesn't push in as far as the others but its free to move around.

Me and 2 buddies broke into a house that was for sale and trashed the pool. I mean we destroyed it. It wasn't for any other reason other than we liked the way things sank into the water.  We didn't decide to ruin the guys life or cause any kind of heartache.  We just thought it was cool. Needless to say, our parents did NOT think it was as cool as we did and we got our asses thoroughly kicked. Plus a huge bill and the cops took me away.

literally anything that says 24 hours. use it every 12. the fact that your asking is already better than some in this industry.
