Congratulations!

Welcome to EMTCity. They call us the Ambulance Boys. I hate that..

One thing I was always grossed out by.. Cot Quilts, or Heavy personalized service blankets for winter calls. I used to see these sometimes, we have some hanging in our supply closet from "back in the day". Big, heavy, orange quilt like blankets. I wonder how often those got washed?

Everything goes with the patient.. If the receiving hospital offers linen, we use it; if they don't, we use our disposable sheets. However, I like something with a little weight lifting ability.

I pasted it all as found; title, subtitle, and picture. Didn't add anything of my own.

They must be worn at incidents along federally funded roadways, unless you plan on catching fire. I wear it because it stands out better than street clothes, at night.

Stripper... Couldn't find anything that Hal 9000 would deem as site appropriate..

Can one log onto the site from any mobile phone? I have an LG Xenon.. I can browse the site, but can't seem to find the log in button. Any ideas?

Sad.

If EMS is already on scene, no. If no emergency units are on scene, I stop, put on my ANSI vest; give aid and call it in if we're not in cell coverage.

Nevermind

How does one undo the link to facebook? I've got JEMS, Flickr, Youtube, EMTCity, et al.. coming up on the main page.. and I dunno how I managed this. My knowledge of technology expired at about 2005, when my course computers became obsolete, this is a whole new ballgame.

Sitting next to the patient, on my wireless, telling them to stop being so dramatic, other people have died of much less, so they have at least a 50% chance.. That's sarcasm for you uber sensitive, thin-skinned users. Usually from home.

Does this food court have a mini sonic? Because I'd get a Cherry Limeade, while my partner is treating the patient.

I read to bird. Unless it was like storming, I'd say, get me one. Police. Forestry. National Guard.. Pt. 3 would be prime candidate, maybe pt. 2 if they could fit a second victim. Wilderness Protocols, only apply to the wilderness, where no ground transport except maybe an ATV/RTV is possible. I wouldn't use the van as an ambulance, to Tx to a hospital, unless it was a licensed ambulance. Certainly use it to get them to a staging area, but not on a 45mi. trip. I'd advise incoming units of a low level MCI. I want 2 ALS ambulances, and a helicopter from somewhere. They have connections, they can get one. One chopper if they can take two ALS patients; two if they can only take one. Fire Engine can drop off 1 EMT and oxygen/trauma kit; and then establish a landing zone at a designated area. Pt 1 - Yellow - Ground ALS Unit 2 Pt 2 - Red - Ground ALS Unit 1 (But would rather fly) Pt 3 - Red - Ground ALS Unit 1 (But would rather fly) Pt. 4 - Green - Board and Van Tx to nearest Pt. 5 - Yellow - Ground ALS Unit 2 Pt. 6 - Tx with patient 4, just b/c he was involved directly, no care given, other than a once over. No comment on care. Assess, Secure Airways, Bleeding/Fractures, Make Mobile; basic pricipals of off the beaten path care. Most of the time, our only meds are ammoxicilin, epinephrine, ASA, oxygen and naproxen anyway, not really ALS or BLS; just W-EMS Protocol.

If they're competent, then I guess they can refuse; if not; then it's the same for any AMS or ALOC patient. I certainly wouldn't let them alone if it was clear they would be driving.

Feck if I no', just sayin, mmmkay, over? That's in redneck.

Years before DVD E!, I had every episode on VHS. Ended up selling them, along with a cheap old VHS player, to a guy in England. He paid $30/tape. Yes. That's a lot of money, but they weren't available to the UK; and it cost me $19.. So, of course, supply and demand.. I kept several, including the pilot, brush fire, snake bite, inheritance, insomnia, boot, welcome to santa rosa county, and a few others.

什麼？ 那是否是应该是滑稽的？ 我沒得到它？

HB Co-Ho Okay.. Seriously.. That looks so wrong >>>

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090908/ap_on_re_us/us_california_sinkhole LOS ANGELES – Crews using a crane have pulled a fire engine from a large sinkhole that opened as it was responding to a broken water main on a Los Angeles street. Four firefighters escaped injury as mud and water poured into the vehicle's cabin Tuesday in the San Fernando Valley. The firefighters were attempting to back the 22-ton engine out of the street when the collapse occurred. The sinkhole was caused by a broken, 6-inch cast iron pipe. A Department of Water and Power official says it's unlikely the burst pipe is related to another one that broke two miles away over the weekend and flooded homes and cars. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Four firefighters escaped injury Tuesday after their fire engine sunk into a large hole caused by a burst water main in the San Fernando Valley. The firefighters were responding to a call about flooding on a residential street in the Valley Village neighborhood when they saw excessive water on the road, Fire department Capt. Steve Ruda said. Worried the ground was unstable, they were backing the 22-ton engine out when the road collapsed and the engine cab fell into the sinkhole, Ruda said. A captain and engineer safely climbed out of the windows and two other firefighters jumped from the rear as water and mud began to fill the vehicle's interior, Ruda said. Department of Water and Power spokeswoman Kim Hughes said a 6-inch cast iron pipe broke on the street. She said water in the area was turned off while tow trucks prepared to pull the engine out of the hole. Crews were also inspecting for possible damages to gas and sewer lines in the area. Hughes didn't know whether the burst water main was related to another one that broke about two miles away over the weekend. The rupture in Studio City on Saturday swept cars down streets, forced people out of their homes and flooded a section of a major boulevard. The broken main was part of the city's original water system, dating to 1914, and was slated for repair. Hughes said the main should be in operation later in the day. However, street repairs forced the shutdown of a major road across the Hollywood Hills. Ruda said water probably damaged the radio and computer system in the cab of the $500,000 fire engine. He said the truck was salvageable.

Ear Infection This is so true! They always ask at the doctor's office why you are there, and you have to answer in front of others what's wrong -- and sometimes it is embarrassing. There's nothing worse than a doctor's receptionist who insists you tell her what is wrong with you in a room full of other patients. I know most of us have experienced this, and I love the way this old guy handled it: A 65-year-old man walked into a crowded waiting room and approached the desk. The receptionist said, "Yes, sir, what are you seeing the doctor for today?" He replied, "There's something wrong with my dick." The receptionist became irritated and said, "You shouldn't come into a crowded waiting room and say things like that." "Why not? You asked me what was wrong, and I told you." The receptionist replied, "Now you' ve caused some embarrassment in this room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong with your ear and then discussed the problem further with the doctor in private." "You shouldn't ask people questions in a room full of strangers if the answer could embarrass anyone," the man said. ! Then he walked out and waited several minutes before re-entering. The receptionist smiled smugly and said, "Yes?" "There's something wrong with my ear." The receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice. "And what is wrong with your ear, sir?" "I can't piss out of it." The waiting room erupted in laughter. The lesson: Mess with seniors, and you're going to lose

I've only slept for about six of the past 50 hours.. I plan to take a couple swigs of Liquid Benadryl, and sleep for about 15 hours.
