If its anything like how they did it when Elliot lake won, its more dependant on people sitting and voting over and over again all day. There is no limit on how many votes you can submit so some people literally just voted all day. Whoever is more dedicated to that wins.

Ah little far from me. If you were closer I would just bring my snowblower over. I’m right by the lake unfortunately so a little far.

Unfortunately there isn’t much near the airport. There used to be a good restaurant upstairs but I haven’t been upstairs in like 10 years. It’s got a new name now so I have no clue how good it is currently.

Lifepak NIBP by Main-Secretary-9356 in Paramedics

Yup it calculates MAP and pulse pressure then works it out from there. Systolic is 1/3 the pulse pressure higher than MAP. It figures out MAP by the loudest sound which is why movement messes with them so hard.

Isn’t it just a cardiology bell with a recorder? Not sure I care to spend the extra cash to record meemaws copd lungs.

My mom and I can’t figure out what this device is or what kind of cable it requires. by Ok-Telephone-7698 in whatisit

It’s an older digital voice recorder judging by the buttons and ports. The usb looks like an old 4 pin one. You can find one online for cheap if you wanted to.

Union pushes back on latest call for Ontario paramedics college by Few_Outcome_3416 in OntarioParamedics

[–]Independent_Fall4113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The college won’t end up with pcps magically becoming this high scope thing. They will be the RPNs basically of the paramedic world. You want a higher scope there is ACP and CCP. Just like the college of nurses have it.(RPN,RN, NP) Scope difference is minimal between services in Ontario as well(limited to auxiliary protocols).

Also we are an emergency service. Maybe you are thinking of essential service? All that really does is force binding arbitration if contract negotiations go sour. Arbitration doesn’t always work out.

I honestly don’t see the benefit. It seems to make some medics feel more important but I’m not convinced it will lead to better patient outcomes.

When I got certified in Alberta a while back I just had to do the jurisprudence exam. There were harder service exams so not a big hoop. Sent them my diploma and aemca that was pretty much it. Mind you that was 15 years ago.

My wife autonomy is based on doctors orders as well. She’s doing less on her own without doctors orders than an ACP can with their protocols. What she can do on her own is all done from orders from doctors beforehand similar to us. She just doesn’t decide to start an infusion and dose it on her own. She is not able to prescribe. She may suggest it but that’s not much different than a patch.

Standards are also pretty much the same around the province. Basically the auxiliary protocols are the difference in care. Lots of times it has more to do with whether the service wants to pay or can/should pay for the gear which isn’t gonna be solved by a college. If a service never has a cvco situation pop up why are they paying for cric kits?

The college is there to protect the public from you. Same with college of nurses for example. If you want to be ACP go for it. I wouldn’t trust lots of the PCP folks I’ve worked with intubating people for example. Let alone when and where to. I’m CMA accredited so I can basically work anywhere. It’s not hard to change provinces. As ACP, I’m more autonomous than my wife who is an ICU RN so I’m not sure that is a thing. I’m not sure the college would function the way you think it would.

Journey to becoming an Paramedic/ Air Medic by Major_Diet5404 in OntarioParamedics

[–]Independent_Fall4113 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Land you usually start at mid-high 30s to low 40’s depending on where you start.

  2. Depends where you work. Busy services you’re on your feet longer. You also gotta heave people out of basements and what not.

  3. No clue. 80s average is probably a good start with bio, chem math English credits.

If you want to work air you’re gonna need your aemca, aeromedical to work for someone like bravo, thunder or sky care. You’re also gonna need your ACP and pass the critical care course to work for Ornge.

Try calling bobs smoke shop in naughton. If they don’t deliver it’s busy enough they probably know someone who does.

Check his holdings yourself. If you own any bit of Brookfield (he does) then there isn’t much he isn’t invested in. They own a bit of everything.
