EMT Stuff Learned plus New Switchfoot Single

Well, its been a while since my last update, so here goes...

I've started EMT training, which so far has been pretty boring. However, on tuesday we start anatomy which shall prove more interesting.

So heres a list of things I've learned so far from class and my readings...

1. Procedures to avoid being contaminated by a patients bodily fluids (we assume all bodily fluids are potentially infectious)

2. Bleach and water (1:10 ratio) is the best way to clean out an ambulance rig...

3. The difference between implied consent and expressed conset.

4. What Dependent Lividity looks like...

5. How to palpate a blood pressure

6. Where to apply cricoid pressure

Somehow, my EMT book has reduced the entire human anatomy to a single chapter... which worries me a bit.. Here's hoping if i ever collapse and have a heart attack that paramedics respond.. not EMTs.

Also! in addition to fun EMT trivia, theres a new Switchfoot single floating around. I picked up my copy from the 89.7 radio station. It was taped to the front door. So now that i have the single, i'm supposed to copy it and hide the copy somewhere for other switchfoot fans to find. The original copy was hidden under a palm tree i believe...

anyways, its a good song! i'm pretty excited for the release of their new album.

So, yup... I'm gunna get some sleep, i have work in the morning, and then more studying to do. I have a test on tuesday. I should probably also work on college apps, and finding a job. We'll see if any of that actually happens though...hehe
