The bridge was trying to collect tolls today.
I thought Tim said he’d remove them if he was elected. Seems like something that could have been stopped instantly if he was serious about it as a promise.
When people ask for advice in the Peloton Facebook group, I didn’t realize they didn’t actually want your advice.
They only wanted people to tell them how awesome they are.
It’s a crazy place.
Why are we hearing from the fire chief about the service provided. Was the general manager not available?
Just ran the first tank of gas empty on our new hybrid Toyota Highlander. 700km for the full tank. 8L/100km
Very happy with that.
I kind of love that he found out so quickly that the mayor only has one vote.
Critical care paramedic learners were in lab for part of the day today preparing for OSCEs. It’s an honour to be involved in the education of Nova Scotia’s next cohort of CCPs.
They wouldn’t if it was regulated like other health professionals. He’d lose his license where I work and he’d never be able to afford his insurance after this.
Agreed. Placements should happen in as many facets of the healthcare systems as possible. Primary care, long term care, palliative care. Our CCPs do placements with respiratory therapy and ICU
Defend this person all you want. The truth of the matter is he should never have a license to practice paramedicine ever again. If an independent regulator existed he wouldn’t.
We’re the other end of the spectrum. We just removed the requirement for medical oversight. Completely self regulated. Employers may still have medical oversight physicians but they aren’t a requirement for licensing
There’s no downside to anyone else if paramedics are regulated. What would their grievances be?
I’m in Nova Scotia and we are regulated.
This is why I never get excited about any projects in this city. They never come out looking how they’re presented.
Since September we’ve gone from owning a mini van and VW Golf to owning a Toyota Highlander Hybrid. The hybrid is like driving in a video game. How can I get my L/100k lower. Even the kids are “dad that’s too much power”.
If you have any tips to maximize fuel economy shoot them my way.
Yes. Teaching a comparative religion class is much different than teaching religion. The study of religion fascinates me but I’m an atheist.
Trying to teach pulmonary artery catheters to critical care paramedics in a system that doesn’t use pulmonary artery catheters is a silly use of time.
I agree it must have been very time consuming and it was beneficial. My point to him more was, along that line. People in the know are telling you why we you collision and he wasn’t having any of it. He was just trying to find a hill to die on.
He got mad at me and I told him if he was going to pretend to provide some sort of public safety awareness he should do so with the proper lingo. He blocked me
The HFXFire person blocked me on Twitter because I kept correcting “MVA” to “MVC” and apparently they don’t like that.
Ya that’s definitely a hard skill to simulate. There are very expensive dislocation trainers but I haven’t used any of them. It’s not something we generally teach.
I’m interested in what you’re referring to with “emergency repositioning”.
This applies to every presentation of pain.
Don’t withhold analgesics from anyone if no contraindications exist.
Drug “seeking” behaviour is not a contraindication to analgesics.
Very interesting subtext in this one; sometimes taking a hard look in the mirror and leaving a role that leaves you "running on empty" is what is best for the leader. #leadership #mentalhealth #selfcare #EMS www.ems1.com/paramedic-ch...
Icy Road Conditions Good Day, Halifax Regional Police is reporting hazardous icy road conditions on HRM roadways.. Icy roads are being widely reported and police are responding to several collisions thoughout the city. HRP is requesting motorists and pedestrians to use caution when venturing out onto the roadways.
Hey Halifax and area! Many if not most of you already know this, but HRP said about 45 minutes ago that they’re responding to multiple collisions due to the icy road conditions. Stay safe out there.
No problem.
The college has been renamed to the “Nova Scotia Regulator of Paramedicine”. You can find the Annual Report there and it will tell you registration numbers per classification.
What are you trying to find out? EMT has not been used in NS in the 25yrs I’ve been here.
NS has ACPs and one of the highest concentrations of Critical Care Paramedics in the country.
The old Consumers Distributing. You picked your stuff out of the catalog and people went out back and got it for you.
Sobeys does have a bike rack but I don’t like using it. It’s hard to get to and there’s usually stuff all around it so I just ride to the door hop off and walk in with my bike. No one has said anything to me either place.
And Sobeys.
I walk with my bike through the grocery store and put my groceries in my back pack.
