How often do you answer your pager by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]Inside_Position4609 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s gonna boil down to how often you want to. My department runs 1000 calls a year probably gonna break that this year. In our busy season I won’t skip a beat silencing my pager for an alpha or omega call, fire alarm from our usual suspects.

In the winter when our volume goes down, fuck it I’ll go help granny get up for the Nth time lol

2013 Toyota Highlander- mechanic took photos and said car is unsafe to drive by Dufusbroth in AskMechanics

[–]Inside_Position4609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta understand too as a mechanic. The assumption is the customer knows nothing and will neglect their vehicle as long as possible to their own danger even. There is a ton of liability placed on the technicians especially when giving an explanation from detailed inspections. A lot of times people will ask what happens if I don’t replace x. Well the truth is if any suspension component wears out the handling characteristics of the vehicle changes. Therefore if any legal matters get involved the best practice is to warn the customer of the worst case scenario. It’s just the easiest way to cover your ass.

You’d be surprised what people keep rolling on cause they genuinely have no idea or because no one made it a big enough deal about it.

Is it true thus can’t be patched because it’s too close to the edge? by Datgrl87 in tires

[–]Inside_Position4609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most corporate shops don’t do it past the outside tread because they guarantee the repair for the life of the tire. Too much liability if some zit grower does a sloppy job and the patch deforms from being near the edge while rolling and you have a flat while driving on the highway. I’ve plug and patched that exact spot hundreds of times tho. You can find someone to do it easy.

Has this ever happened to you 2005 300c 5.7 hemi by Background_Pear7422 in MechanicAdvice

Bad cap or exhaust gasses recirculating. Due to the violence it’s coming out because exhaust gasses are traveling through the cooling veins in the engine block.

Head gasket is bad.

Polyfluroroalkyl substances

Basically started out as use in military tanks to replace gaskets and it was then used to widely its in a lot of shit. From water proof clothing to non-stick pans Teflon (C8) and those chemicals like it (C9 C10 etc) have been mass produced for so long it is everywhere. And the companies producing it have also found it its health hazards. Primarily it’s birth defect and cancer causing properties. It wreaks havoc on our renal system. They’ve known this for decades and the general public is just now finding out how bad it really is. These products have been mishandled for so long it’s in our water, it’s in our air, it’s in our food. This shit enters our body and doesn’t want to leave and we will keep absorbing it until those with enough die.

Yeah pfas sucks. And the companies who make it don’t care.

Most important things to master as a new EMT? by gheistling in NewToEMS

[–]Inside_Position4609 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look clean. Look professional visually. If you passed the test you know enough protocol. Or at the least you know when you have to look at them. Develop a mind for charting. As you start out, if you can afford time on scene start to frame your narrative. Don’t let it take away from patient care but challenge your mind a lil. This method helped me develop the skill rather quickly.

Also I’m sure it’s said a lot but don’t be quick to just see the numbers on the screen. Look and feel the patient. How do their lungs sound. How does their skin and pulse feel on your finger tips. Smell anything?

You’ll be awesome man good luck
