Laws of EMS

Posted on November 11, 2007 at 12:34pm 2 Comments

* Air goes in and out, blood goes round and round, any variation on this is bad.

* Try not to discuss "your day" at the family dinner table.

* You may not install a "car catcher" on the front of the ambulance.

* The more equipment you see on a EMT's belt, the newer they are.

* Examine all chest clutchers first, bleeders next, then the rest of the whiners.

* When dealing with citizens, if it felt good saying it, it was wrong.

* All bleeding stops...…

I Wish You Could...

I wish you could know what it is like to search a burning bedroom

for trapped children at 3 AM, flames rolling above your head, your

palms and knees burning as you crawl, the floor sagging under your

weight as the kitchen below you burns.



I wish you knew the unique smell of burning insulation, the taste of

soot-filled mucus, the feeling of intense heat through your turnout

gear, the sound of flames crackling, the eeriness of being able to…

Hey Bro,
Hope you don't mind this message, but I'm trying to make a Chicago connection for a business opportunity that is going through the FDNY. More and more members are signing up daily. Its only in three states presently but will eventually be in all fifty. It has to do with the deregulation of gas and electricity. If you know anyone who's looking to make a second income, please let me know. Thanks and stay safe!

I ride with eng co 22 out of lincoln park. i also frequent at Eng 55 and Truck 44 in LP, but I dont ride with them because there is a BC stationed at their house. But I just met a guy who wants me to ride with his company. He works on Eng 116, which is the busiest eng co in the whole city. #10 busiest in the country. haha. I would love to do that, the only problem with that is getting to and from the station. Getting raped or shot is very possible, they say. Haha.

True, EGV and Bensenville are right next to each other. BUT, unfortunately, i am not a FF yet. I'm a full time student athlete testing for depts. I did two years ride time with EGVFD. Now I've been riding with a chicago engine company for a year and a half. Im currently testing for both depts, also.
