For the Apple geeks out there, what Apps do you have or recommend?

This is a pretty good list to start off with.

Another one.

I would also advise anyone who listens to any radio to download shazam. It will listen to 15 seconds of a song, tag the song, and bring you to iTunes to buy the song, or YouTube to watch the music video.

"EMS Logger" is great if dispatch routinely screws up your times. You can keep track of your own times.

Also, there is an app called "Files" which allows you to read Excel, Word and PDF files. I use it to keep a set of protocols on my phone.

Well I can't use Epocrates, MedScape, DxSaurus, or Skyscape here until I activate the damn things back home.....

But the Instant EKG, ECG Guide, EMS meds, iMurmur, and Eponyms program kick ass!

Of course the "cookbooks" are put together pretty well also. There is a BLS version available as well.

I am going to look around for some more as well, see what they are all about.

Pepid makes a very good product. A little pricey but it is worth it with the constant updates. Works on iPhone iPod Touch they have it for blackberry and for palm as well.

I've got an iPhone... and they're freakin AWESOME!

I have the following:

MedSpanish: Common medical phrases in Spanish
Davis's Drug Guide: requires a subscription from Unbound Medicine
ECG Guide: ECG recognition and tx
Mediquations: has just about every and any algorythm and calculation in medicine.
Top200Drugs: these are flash-card format... generic and trade names, and what the drugs are for...
Infuse: drip rate/infusion calculator.
MedCalc: Same thing.
MedDrugs: Drug facts on hundreds of common medications
Medical Calc: Pretty much the same thing as MedCalc and Mediquations
Tabor's Medical Dictionary
Epocrates: This is my favorite app, and a "must-have." You can browse drugs, diseases, labs, do med math, look up images of pills (it's a mini PDR), and check drug interactions.
EMS: ALS: iPhone based version of the popular ALS pocket guide.
EMS Logger: Very cool little app that let's you touch a button to record your own run times, medication times, vitals using a very simple GUI interface... stores them for later recall when you're doing your run report.
PDF Reader Pro: This allows me to have a PDF copy of all of our local protocols on my iPhone, which is searchable for quick reference.

Oh... and with my earphones, even in the back of a noisy ambulance, all I have to do is say "call Hospital" and it dials the Bat Phone for me. :)
