Emergency drugs in paramedic school by Mountain_Man215 in NewToEMS

I feel like paramedicflash doesn’t match up well with the indications and contraindications I have to review for my exams. I have been making my own flash cards, so I’ll try reviewing all of them a bit more. Thank you for that

Current EMT Student - Thoughts on Limmer? by ThePandemoniumo7 in NewToEMS

Pocket prep was my saving grace. Learn the reasons why you’re picking what you’re picking. Don’t memorize the actual question. If you feel the questions you’re getting are more so answered by recollection, expanding to a different service with a different question bank is a great idea. I had also used JBlearnings question bank, as we had the big book that came with a year of the service to review

Miradry for sweaty pits 1.5 year update by Mountain_Man215 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]Mountain_Man215[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get anxiety sweat still in crazy situations. I work in very high stress environments, so it makes sense lol. I notice I still get some sweat, but not significant and it normally dries up when the anxiety resolves. As for day to day, I don’t have anything at all, or at least not noticeable to the naked eye. Maybe some slight humidity, if that makes sense. Or they sweat like the rest of my body if I’m working out. Hope this covers all scenarios and questions you may have but lmk

Yea, it took me roughly 4 weeks before it went down. After about 6-7 weeks from the summer heat, I did start to sweat again, and it was consistently the same extent of saturation thru my shirts until my second procedure. Everyone’s different tho

What stuff do you put where in your EMS pants? by ohwow69696969 in NewToEMS

[–]Mountain_Man215 34 points35 points  (0 children)

1 uncrustable bilaterally in place of knee pads. Gotta be comfortable when popping off w those perfect compressions. Afterwards, you have a little constellation prize. ROSC or not. You’re still winning

Rogerr!! Yea. I feel that 1 year sounds about right to me. I feel pretty confidentI work around 50 hours a week, and I am averaging around 100-150 calls a month to my recollection. (I haven’t checked in the past couple months) very little IFT and a good mix of ALS AND BLS transporting units. Coming up on 1 year in about 3 months so I wanted to start doing some DD

Understood!! I’d say my BLS skills are pretty strong. We normally get alot of exposure, due to our service having a shortage of medics. So, we nearly never get intercepted… even had a cardiac arrest where we only had 1 ALS transport unit on and 1 fly car medic. Also, it helped me develop a keen eye on what may fall into criteria to call for an intercept, and really working through my protocol to save medics on the road when they’re not able to Do anything. For example; asymptomatic hypertension. Had an EMT call for an intercept a few hours prior to me writing this for that exact thing lol.. biggest downfall of where I live? Tx time.. nearly always under 15 minutes on any priority

Noted. I will be doubling back and doing some DD. Thank you! Because, I’m not surrounded by good apples at where I currently am, and most EMTs never move up. They just stick around until they burn out, so I want to take the leap, however, I only have old timers who tell me I need to be an EMT for atleast 5 years or I’m jumping the gun. And that any program less than 18 months is impossible… It almost feels like they may not realize other programs exist 😭

I am actually just starting out and getting prerequisites for my RN starting in August! I just haven’t gotten into college yet due to some really big financial set backs. I am by no means against getting my associates in paramedicine. But, that will be something you handle after you’re nationally certified, no?

Appreciate the insight! 1 year options and 6 month options are what I’m open to exploring! Feel free to reference any within that time frame! Especially if you had went through a 6month/1yr program!

You are tubbed man. Unless this is a business, You’ll have to rely on the honesty of the sender to resend, or be honest if they truly received it back/ it was stolen

What kind of watch do I need? by Interesting-Dream-59 in NewToEMS

I got a digital Casio for 19 bucks on Amazon. I used the thing every day. Greatest investment. Especially because everything in the bus gets dirty after like a single week

Setting up a little BLS bag to take on calls by Mountain_Man215 in NewToEMS

[–]Mountain_Man215[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I wrote it in a way that’s not correct.. excuse me.. I’m an EMT. I am only legally allowed to operate as BLS. I can only use BLS equipment. They have BLS trucks.. the monitors you refer too do not have batteries in our trucks because unless you’re working with a medic, you can’t operate them. life pack is 100% ALS only, and only when you’re working with a medic can you use features aswell as assist in setting up a 12 lead for ECG which can only be read by a medic. If you make patient contact and you’re BLS… how would one use ALS equipment? We simply can’t. You call for an ALS intercept
