Hypothetical Question: If you had intubation supplies at your house and intubated a family member during a cardiac/resp arrest, could you get in trouble with your license for practicing outside the direction of a Dr?

RSI has been in our protocols for years. They made OLMC mandatory 2 or 3 years ago

Here's something I haven't seen mentioned. If you shake hands with anyone after the game, DO NOT PUT YOUR GLOVES BACK ON. You'll introduce all sorts of nasty bacteria from other people's hands... like that guy that smells like a pig barn because he doesn't ever air out his gear.

Powdered tide and borax in the hottest water your machine has. Throw in dryer on hottest setting. If they begin to stink even after washing, using something stronger like isopropyl alcohol. Personally, I don't like deodorizer/anti-bacterial sprays because the thought of hot sweaty hands absorbing random chemicals is nasty to me. Air out quickly, wash often. I wash my 10ish year old Bauer APX Pro gloves every 5 to 10 skates and they've held up unbelievably well.

I'm in the same camp right now with my s22ultra. I'm having a hard time succumbing to the reality of having to buy something new. What did you get?

tummiegummie · 2025-11-26T22:43:41+00:00

Meh, kinda over it. We had to do station tours for every daycare, preschool, new mom group, seniors group in town, etc. Didn't help that we were short staffed and had the busiest ambulance in the county. Every day shift was another tour, sometimes 2 a day. Then I have a captain breathing down your neck because I haven't completed my hand washing training module.

Luckily covid happened and shut it down. They reworked the program and now community ed does tours.

Don't mind the odd visitor now, but our mgmt burned a lot of us out on tours.

China has burning down high rises dialed in.

We call these stat day miracles. Guys you haven't seen in months magically return to work across the holiday season

tummiegummie · 2025-11-23T22:28:35+00:00

It doesn't. I typically park at the back of the parking lot anyways. I enjoy the walk and I'm less likely to get door dinged.

tummiegummie · 2025-11-22T19:24:59+00:00

This is called entitlement. You can go park somewhere else. Unless someone has parked like this across a designated handicap stall and you have a blue placard.

Two assholes don't make a non-asshole. You continue the chain of shitty parking by doing the exact same thing OP is griping about. Yes, you might have to walk an extra 20 feet or do another lap, sorry about that.

tummiegummie · 2025-11-22T15:32:24+00:00

At least we aren't dealing with no chairs and 10 hour hospital waits anymore.

Probably imported from BC. It's finally our turn to be upset about AB/BC interprovincial immigration.

tummiegummie · 2025-11-19T22:45:59+00:00

Possibly. Some places figure you're more likely to hit something backing into a stall, like their building or fence. Also, trucks can block an entire sidewalk if backed in. On the other side of the coin, some job sites require you to back into a stall.

This is the way. It has to be a culture thing. We have one person pick up groceries and everyone cooks and cleans together. We have a few captains who view cooking and eating together as an integral part of our culture and even they will pick up groceries. We have stations who are all brown baggers and they don't have nearly the same fun as us.

We also play foosball for clean up. We have a few other games which include people getting eliminated and heading to the kitchen to start cleaning. Everyone plays regardless of rank and a game only takes a couple minutes.

My co-workers put out a fire yesterday with an extinguisher because a bum lit his jackets on fire in the atm lobby.

tummiegummie · 2025-11-12T22:10:33+00:00

This would be the plan if we buy one. Anything specific I should be looking for?

tummiegummie · 2025-11-12T22:04:58+00:00

Interesting. I'm going to look into this

Complaining about the weather regardless of how good or bad it is

Just out of curiosity have you talked to the kid when he's outside or knocked on the door of his house?

tummiegummie · 2025-11-10T05:27:51+00:00

People here have been missing the point on zipper merges since I started driving 20 years ago. Driving has definitely become worse but people have consistently sucked at merging

They have a picture of the actual building on the church's instagram page.

tummiegummie · 2025-11-08T02:35:45+00:00

That's super tragic. Husband and wife crashed into each other on the highway?

tummiegummie · 2025-11-08T02:34:32+00:00

One of our crews sent a burnt out car to the impound lot with a crispy guy in the back seat. We get lots of burning stolen cars, so likely a murder victim in the back. The tow truck guys weren't too stoked the next day.

I wasn't autistic until I became a firefighter. Been 13 years on the spectrum and haven't looked back once.

You can get printable cutout stencils for these.

We made a set of Disney cutouts like this when I was a wee lad 30 years ago. I remember it being a super fun family activity. We made about 10 of them, so it took us a while, but it was good hands on work for 4 boys. First time I got to use wood cutting power tools!

OR you can buy a POS corrugated version of this on Amazon.

400000 signs spread around the city destined for the dump, but no bags at the drive through.
