From all that I have read and heard on the news, he tried to stem the bleeding, and kept talking to her, trying to calm her. His voice was a voice she knew. He was given accolades for his actions yesterday at the State Assembley in Arizona. We were not there. Can we really decry the decision making of those that were? I certainly can't. That is my two cents worth. Cookie

Orange or Pink Stethoscopes. Whichever one is closest when I sit down inside the ambulance, is the best choice for me... All of them are either Orange, or Pink. So we know when someone steals one.

If they ever make one with a forum search feature I would make it a required piece of equipment for all new people.

I would never let family or friends in the back of the ambulance on a call like this. Sorry, but we're busy and they only get in the way. My experience is that people respect the fact that we have a job to do and they need to give us space to do so. Family and friends are welcome to ride along if they want, but UP FRONT. Oh also BTW, there isn't anything "unique" about this from an EMS standpoint. Despite the circumstances, this is just another patient, and IMHO the job shouldn't change no matter who it is or how it happened.
