2011 new motor with 60k miles and new clutch and transmission as of November (they only told me it was refurbished after the install), been having issues with the transmission since they replaced it with 1st gear throwing out and more recently mostly with my boat the transmission has been seizing up where I’ll have the gas floored and be completely off the clutch and get little to no movement. Happened for the first time today with no trailer after a 25m drive. Launching out of 1st from a red light felt like I was trying in 4th and if I took my foot off of the gas it’s like I was hard on the brakes, acceleration didn’t just die, it was very actively stopping. Resolves after letting it sit briefly. I assume it’s the transmission overheating, anyone familiar with the issue? I’ll check fluid and call the shop that did the transmission in the morning

Interviewing for a CCP job with a children’s hospital (air plus ground transfers) I know I’ll have a peer board scenario given and honestly have no clue what to expect especially since it’s my first time outside of 911. I have about 5 years experience on a box with 3 1/2 as a medic. The more I’m studying up on PALS, especially the hospital side of things, the more I’m getting worried. I’ve never run vasodilators (not talking nitro) or other drugs like albumin.

I’m sure at some point in the scenario patient will probably code, but CPR in scenarios is easy. What worries me is pediatric specific Hs&Ts.

For those who have done similar jobs any idea what I should be expecting? Should I expect something crazy like having to spot tetralogy of fallot/ductus arteriosis and initiate alprostadil/milrinone with little to no med/family history or should I expect something run of the mill such as croup management with failing airway.

Some background on the job is that’s it’s CCTs paired with a nurse and rt. Basically the nurse is in charge and the RT is always going to cover airway/vent. I’m not sure if I should account for that or also expect to have my sizing for cuffed/uncuffed memorized and vent settings

Been off of an ambulance for a few months but I’ll be interviewing for a pediatric critical care job this week.

I doubt they’ll allow a braslow tape during my scenario portion so trying to brush up on everything.

Any help is appreciated
