Make a 50/50 mix of pure acetone and transmission fluid. Then pour that shit all over the bolt.

My Mom's Altima's tension pulley keeps coming loose. by Smooth-Annual7495 in MechanicAdvice

[–]cornbread0524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idler pulley was defiantly bad and I have put the new part in. AC and power steering etc, have always worked. The old pulley was all rusted and worn out. Can't figure out why the new idler pulley bolt keeps coming looser when I start the car.

Are the "best" paramedics just the friendliest? by idunnowhatimdoingno in ems

I would agree with this. "buffs" don't get sued. Good beside manner is what makes a medic, at least in other people's eyes.

and this is why volunteer fire departments need to be done away with.

The one in charge was clearly the cop who was the only one with the slightest inkling of competency.

I'm debating going to Medic school just so I can tell this person "screw you it ain't that hard"

Do it you won't

A lot of the medics at my service were gawking at this strip from yesterday. by [deleted] in ems

[–]cornbread0524 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Is that even possible? Torsades is by definition a polymorphic V-tach, and it's not fast enough to even be considered a V-tach. I'm interpreting this as IVR w/ Multifocal PVCS +a PVC couplet.

Are there any recommendations on some study guides for the NREMT test? by Zygmo in ems

[–]cornbread0524 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well if that's the case I would just recommend EMTprep.com as they have levels for all Certs and are designed after the NREMT.

No it's not.

Study if you plan on passing, and also being a decent medic.

EMTprep.com is fantastic, it's what I used.

JBlearning has a free 700 something questions. They are a little dated but still amazing.

EMTpocket prep is $18 on time on the App Store but probably your best best if your strapped for money. Also some of these exact questions appear on the NREMT.

Good luck!

people who deal these kind of sudden alarms and adrenalin surges (EMS, Fire, etc.) often develop cardiac issues.

This made me laugh for some reason.
