I’ve been thinking about new opportunities.

Taking on new challenges in a new place.

My gypsy soul is ready to settle and put down some roots.

It’s got to be a great place to live, in a warm climate, with outstanding private or third service paramedics. I’m not really interested in a fire/medic system. A forward thinking MPD and liberal protocols are a plus, too. Oh, if there’s a chance to get involved in EMS research and education, that’s an even bigger bonus.

Anyone have any ideas? Thoughts? Reviews on their own dream service? Let’s hear ‘em!

New Blogroll addition

I’ve been rather remiss in adding new blogs to my reading list.  Hell, I’ve been busy, and I don’t get enogh sleep, the dog ate my laptop…

All excuses and none of them good.

So, I’m adding some new blogs to my reading list. First on the list is EMT-Medical Student. Good stuff. If you’re a newbie EMT or Medic and need healp writing SOAP reports, there’s some GREAT examples here, as well as other cool tips and tricks. the best line on this blog is this: “Act like a technician, be treated like a technician. Act like a professional, be treated like a professional.”

Nice work Joe!

I’ll be adding more in the near future, as soon as I can get the dog to hork my computer back up.

I know these things are true…

  • You can not kill yourself by taking 5 Nitrofurantoin.
  • Crank does not make you a zombie. Ativan makes you a zombie.
  • If you touch me again, you’re getting arrested.
  • You need to vomit in the little blue cup.
  • I need to know all of the meds you take. Not just some of them.
  • Spitting at me will also get you arrested.
  • You have to actually breathe to get any effect from a neb.
  • Taking ASA will not cure a UTI.

I said all of these things yesterday.

Now this is cool…

I volunteered, and was selected, to be one of the medics that will be deployed to Haiti to assist with the ongoing medical missions that are still being conducted in country.

The current situation in Haiti is as bad, if not worse, than it was immediately following the earthquake. The number of people that are seeking medical attention, some for the first time, is simply staggering.

I’ll be deployed with EMPACT Northwest, a group of local medical professionals that has been operating in Haiti since the earthquake.

It looks like my team will be leaving for 10 days at the end of March. I’m pretty excited about the opportunity and I’ll write more about this soon.
