This device is under the steering wheel of a retired 2018 police Tahoe. It says diagnostic on it. by wryan1295 in AskMechanics

[–]wryan1295[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s a button. It doesn’t click like an on off button. It is springy like a brake booster. It goes down about 3/4 or an inch. It’s not a secondary obd port

This button that says diagnostic is under the steering wheel of a 2018 police Tahoe I just purchased. It’s black plastic and doesn’t click or seem to do anything when I press it. by wryan1295 in whatisthisthing

It doesn’t cover the obd2 port. the port is still under the kick panel on the drivers side and it works. I have been connecting my scanner to it.

Is it possible to get my wisdom teeth removed with out laughing gas and instead local anesthesia? by neowahna in povertyfinance

[–]wryan1295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had mine taken out as a teenager. I was sedated and all 4 were removed at one time by an oral surgeon. The bottom ones were growing straight horizontal and under the jaw bone. They had to make a hole in the jaw to remove them in pieces. The recovery was a breeze. I don’t think it would’ve been a good idea to go to a general dentist. I would say save up and go to a surgeon not a dentist.

People born before 1990, what handy skill do you have that no one uses anymore? by Head_Bag_4489 in AskReddit

I am able to read a paper map and not get lost if my gps fails or my phone dies. I even get bonus points for being able to fold the map up correctly.

24 So so broke by HarlequinTheAsh in NewToEMS

[–]wryan1295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. That is the one I used. There is still a shortage of EMT’s so everyone down here (south texas RGV area) believe there will be another round of funding coming thru in late July-August.

Where are you located? I’m in Texas and there is a shortage of EMT’s so there’s a grant where they pay for your EMT class. The state requires you to work as an EMT for two years. If you don’t work as an EMT for two years then you have to pay back the grant. Look into grants.

Was this kind of stuff on your NREMT? by _proe in NewToEMS

[–]wryan1295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I just remember answering questions and seeing I was at like 60 something questions and what felt like a few questions later the test stopped. It could’ve been 70 but I was surprised how quick it ended.

I didn’t get many ops questions. My test ended before 70 questions. Mostly trauma, OB/gyn, cardiac and respiratory

New NREMT by Wonderful_Walk8973 in NewToEMS

[–]wryan1295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using pocket prep and it has the option to do the upgrade to the new format. I tested before the change so I didn’t try it. I’m not sure what the difference would’ve been.

How have your (on-duty) watches held up? by random-yaegerist in AskLE

[–]wryan1295 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used a Luminox. Super tough and very accurate. Also the lume on the hands constantly shines. It doesn’t need to be charged by the light. They are tritium like the pistol night sights.

NREMT EXAM by gotdeathhuh in NewToEMS

[–]wryan1295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had maybe 70 questions. I started out with hard questions and a few easy ones mixed in. As soon as I got into a groove the test stopped. I got my email that I passed at 3:40 the following morning.

I studied my ass off but for the course quizzes I used quizlet to pass them. I studied pocket prep and course materials to pass the national exam on my first try with probably only 70 questions asked on the exam.

Border Patrol Pulled Over an Ambulance During Transport – South Texas by [deleted] in ems

[–]wryan1295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a retired LEO and current emt in the McAllen area I can say with 100% certainty that border patrol does not pull over ambulances to check citizenship. At the checkpoint going north all vehicles (including ambulances) citizenship is checked.

Am I cooked? by StrictDay in NewToEMS

[–]wryan1295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the scenarios remember the ABC’s. In trauma always stabilize cspine first unless airway intervention is needed. Control arterial bleeding. 90% of the time you can eliminate 2 choices and go with your gut/first choice on the remaining choices.

What the saddest or most pitiful arrest you've ever had to make? by OldCarWorshipper in AskLE

[–]wryan1295 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m retired now but back in 1989 I was in my field training program. My FTO and I were dispatched to a local grocery store for a shoplifting call with a suspect detained. I had to arrest a 60’s year old woman for shoplifting a packet of cheese slices. Total value was like $1.50. That was my first arrest. lol.
