Patient Lift How can i lift up a cancer patient's spirit ?
specially dat a very nice doctor told us dat he only has 2 years 2 live!!!and please i need 2 know what's the point of tellin a patient these stuff,,i know it's all a matter of statistics but if i were a cancer patient and i heard dat,i wud rather die 2morrow..i really wanna know how 2 inspire a patient,how 2 give him hope,i think spirit has a major role in any kind of disease!!!
As the previous poster said, watch Patch Adams.
Robn williams is so funny in the movie that the actual cancer patients used in the movie said they never felt so good before.
Look for an upside. 2 years left ot live. you have 2 years to do virtually whatever you want.
if this patient is female I suggest a book called "Why I wore lipstick to my masectomy" the woman in the book swore that she would not let cancer kill her on an emotional level so she did crazy things to show the cancer you can't hurt me.

VanTurn from Vancare, car extraction patient lift
What's the best workout to increase strength?
I'm going to start my EMT class very shortly and as an EMT you're expected to be able to help your partner lift patients. My friend who works at an ambulance company, AMR, said that their test's highlight is lifting 120 pounds (a double-dumbbell shaped weight) up five flights of stairs.
So my question is what workouts do I need to do in order to be able to comfortably lift 100 pounds and carry 100-120 pounds? I'm not interested in toning, look, or any of the flashy crap associated with working out. I just want efficient muscle.
American Medical Response is a great ambulance service. Anyways, I would say work on your legs alot, go running a couple days a week and build up your endurance. You have six months, since EMT-Basic is usually a short course, to get in shape. Also you really dont need to be that strong to be an EMT, just need to have endurance. Also, for the first couple of weeks all you are going to be doing is C-spine and vitals. All you need to do is do push ups and run 2 miles a day, 3 times a week. Good luck and make sure you take the national registary exam, its harder but worth it!
