tunnel vision yes probably. :) and yeah...the best way to compensate is to pay attention yourself. the few times I've been on roadside calls, yeah...big target. apparently even bigger target if you're standing next to the fire truck with the flash...

got a similar one for you. thankfully it wasn't a real call just a practice run with green crews on our new medic truck. Me being one of the most experienced medical people in our station (into my 4th year as an EMT)and the lead for the scenario w...

not to sound like a broken record, but part of what I did to work on my mask problems was to just spend time in it. I have my own mask because i don't get a good seal with the standard issue ones kept with the air packs. So I took my mask home wit...

Everything went fine. however there was worry in the whole process, as her sister passed away a little before Christmas due to complications from a couple minor sur… Continue
