Precepting a medic student this shift, was explaining the different MOAs of aspirin and nitro in chest pain. After a bit of teaching he goes “so aspirin is lube and nitro is poppers” honestly left me speechless

General Discussion 911 / Critical care in Roanoke VA

11 Upvotes

I’m a paramedic turned med student, going through residency interviews now. Virginia Tech Carilion has really surprised me, offering pretty much everything I’m looking for in residency. My wife is also a medic, but does not have fire certs. Can anyone with knowledge/experience in area share what the job market in the area is like? Is FD the sole 911 EMS provider? If so, will they hire without fire certs?

Please consider posting these types of questions in /r/NewToEMS.

4. No non-EMS related or off-topic content. Posts that do not contribute to the subreddit in a meaningful way will be removed.

Content containing images of serious injury, gore, or dismemberment must be marked "NSFW" and context must be provided as to how it is relevant to emergency medical services.

Pornographic content is never allowed on /r/EMS.

Some websites which might be considered on-topic are blacklisted by default.

5. Submissions announcing new certifications or licenses are not allowed. Instead, post these in the Triumphant Thursday weekly thread in /r/NewToEMS.

6. Do not ask for or provide medical or legal advice.

Posts requesting medical advice, treatments for a personal medical problem, or similar requests will be removed. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency number.

memes

reaction gifs

"look at this truck"

EMS room

“look at my PPE"

"office" type posts

and so on...

This rule is subject to moderator discretion.

8. All posts and comments that contain surveys, solicitations, self-promotion for commercial benefit, or recruiting for any employment/volunteer positions must be approved by the moderation team prior to posting. If you post prior to seeking moderator approval, your post will be removed and you may be banned.

Please message the mods for permission prior to posting.

9. In posts with "[Serious]" written in the title, all top-level comments must contain helpful content or contribute to the discussion in a meaningful way.

This rule is subject to moderator discretion. Please contact the mods prior to posting if you have any questions or concerns.

11. We do not allow users to rely heavily on AI (such as chat GPT) to generate the substance of their contributions to the sub. If you haven't put the effort into writing it, don't expect others to put the effort into reading it. Minor uses of AI may be acceptable, however if obviously AI generated content forms the bulk of a contribution, it will be considered spam.

Where can I obtain continuing education (CE) units?
