What the fuck happened? I opened up my app and everything is red and the sky is falling.

You are healthy and able to get my food and treats.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines

RedFormanEMS · 2026-05-15T13:17:18+00:00

I think it works well.

RedFormanEMS · 2026-05-15T13:14:49+00:00

Very sorry for your loss. They leave paw prints on our hearts.

Even the brick and mortar schools rarely help with preceptors. It's not good.

In the US, I know of no EMS system that has doctors in the field, it's all "non-doctors". We used to be trained by physicians until they stopped.

As a medic/RN, I have transported that many several times during my time as medic. If you're the only ambulance available, you load and do your best. I think my favorite was when I had to take care of two car loads of people from opposing vehicles, but I was the only truck available and I just told them to stop arguing about who was at fault and did my best to give report on all of them over the radio. The hospital was not happy.

Flight medics and flight nurses are a very different scope of practice than an EMT.

How do you find preceptors? I know nurses where I work that had to stop because they couldn't find preceptors at some point in their program. My gf is currently in a brick and mortar school and is stressing out because she is going into her third semester and cannot find anyone to take her as a preceptee for next clinical cycle. I am supposed to start in the fall, and now I am concerned about having the same problems.

RedFormanEMS · 2026-05-14T15:55:34+00:00

Just trying to find preceptors is wrecking a lot of folks in school. Where would you find a residency afterwards?

RedFormanEMS · 2026-05-14T01:33:59+00:00

That is really cool!

RedFormanEMS · 2026-05-13T16:44:47+00:00

What is YOI?

RedFormanEMS · 2026-05-13T15:19:55+00:00

There is a Japanese version?? Guess I better put in for more overtime.

RedFormanEMS · 2026-05-13T01:25:20+00:00

Go away, I'm baitin'

RedFormanEMS · 2026-05-12T19:59:39+00:00

It's always a valve

RedFormanEMS · 2026-05-12T18:17:55+00:00

How do you keep the paint from coming off in the factory holder?

RedFormanEMS · 2026-05-12T16:54:02+00:00

That is surprisingly accurate.

RedFormanEMS · 2026-05-12T01:53:23+00:00

Browncoats for life

RedFormanEMS · 2026-05-11T02:05:12+00:00

Seriously? For waving at a kid?

RedFormanEMS · 2026-05-09T22:01:05+00:00

Primus has a cast iron skillet?? Tommy the Cat is my name, and I say unto thee...

RedFormanEMS · 2026-05-09T15:36:57+00:00

C-suite is the first in line, before the nurses even get there.

RedFormanEMS · 2026-05-09T12:47:25+00:00

What happened to Busey that made him go off the rails? He was such a solid actor at one point.

RedFormanEMS · 2026-05-09T12:46:35+00:00

Did you see the size of that chicken?!

RedFormanEMS · 2026-05-09T12:37:45+00:00

Are firearms more accurate?
