That had to be my favorite on ebaumsworld! Not that I'm surprised by this.. The 27 y/o mother of a 12 year old boy. :roll: Anyone else hear that noise? Sounds to me like... Jingle Bells? No.. Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!.. thats it.

That still happens.. <nerdon> I hope not like that (but who knows these days). Ever see the stories on Firehouse.com, "Fire Dept. watches house burn b/c owner wasn't a subscriber". :roll: They say, the city won't institute a fire tax, so if the residents want fire protection, someone has to pay for it. This is true, someone does, and firefighters shouldn't have to beg.. But refusing to save a home, because the owner is a cheap skate.. Started in Roman times, you would have had to pay a hefty sum to get a fire extinguished. Then, you could pay groups of fire watchers to oversee your property, as to prevent large fires from breaking out. <nerdoff> Funny, I bet people would react differently if an ambulance refused to help someone b/c they weren't a subscriber. :wink:

Looks like he was either some what restrained, or she blocked him from being ejected. She was certainly not restrained, prolly hit the wheel and the shield. Also looked like she ko'd him w/ the side and/or back of her head. Ouch, either way. :idea1: Seatbelts may have helped, but the car looks modified.. and where did that airbag come from? It looked like it launched her out of the seat? If she was restrained, from the angle, looks like she would have had some type of hyperextension inj.

Made by the same people as the UniMed bags, only has a different Mfg. stamp.. Everything I could possibly need while QR'ing under dept. SOP's.. is in this bag. Nothing extravagant.. just the basics.

We don't often have SAM Splints, they do get expensive, having to constantly replace them. They are common around here, a lot of calls take crews "off the beaten path". Small, fits in a jump kit or in a jumpsuit pocket, etc.. It's almost as nice as the cravat, useful for darn near everything. If you don't mind the black & grey, buying them from a US Military contractor will save big bucks on the bulk cases. My first choice in splinting is a padded board with a roll of Kerlix or two; the orange morrison splints work nice, and they are easy to clean. We don't have vacuum splints, the ER didn't understand how to remove it, and it was cut; two more were never returned from patients who were flown. There goes a whole set of them. I'm not fond of air splints at all, and a few ER docs will bitch about them being used, but it seems we can never "lose" them.. always find their way back. Probably have three or four kits of them stuffed under the bench. Also quite fond of the FOX Splints, and the Ferno splints that are orange with the velcro straps, but again, they are usually stolen at the ER and never returned. Pillows are okay for lower leg & ankle injuries, in place of an air splint; or stabilize it w/ a sam, and put a box splint on it. Then of course we have the Adult & Pedi MAST for splinting, another item that always finds its way back home.
