Pediatric Cardiac Complacency – A Case Study for EMS
It’s interesting how personal experiences and professional biases can affect a clinician’s personal style of providing patient care. I’d wager that it happens to us all in some subtle and some not-so-subtle ways. One of the things I’ve noticed about my own style of personal practice is that I’m very sensitive to screening for and […]
Is It Still There? Hot Topics in Adequate EMS Pain Management
It’s a little known fact that I can speak a little Spanish. I’m not very good at it, and I have a lot of trouble conjugating verbs into the past and future tenses, but I can carry on a fairly relevant conversation with most Spanish speaking individuals when the need arises. It always throws people […]
Education vs Training: The “Professional Ambulance Cleaner”
Imagine if you will this hypothetical scenario:
You and your roommate have just graduated EMT school together and go to work at competing ambulance companies in the same city. He works for HIS ambulance service, and you work for YOUR ambulance service. Both services have similar fleets, similar deployment patterns, and similar call-volumes. In fact, there’s really no way to tell them apart other than the fact that the HIS ambulance service uniforms are sickly green jumpsuits, and YOUR ambulance uniforms are Macho Blue Shirts with navy blue pants.
Chris Kaiser aka "Ckemtp"
I am a paramedic trying to advance the idea that the Emergency Medical Services can be made into the profession that we all want it, need it, and know it deserves to be.Recent Posts

Speeding to the hospital! or.. Nurses: Above the Law
No cath lab i have heard of is “staffed” overnight. The staff is expected to work days that are scheduled... and on call days are extra. But we are not staffed overnight as we don't do cases all night. Should an emergency come in we need to live within 30 mins of the hospital in…
