Again you are comparing your educated "non ALS" to the USA's trained not educated emt basic. By educating to a higher level you guys are doing much more right than the USA is.

Welcome to the site. Hope both of you the best on exams. Yes I read of your adventures on the get a life site but my guess as to who you think I am there is probably wrong. Many have accused me of being one of the get a life sites big posters. Well at least you came around to my way of thinking. Be safe in your travels.

Watch out or I'll call some people in Austin and ruin your trip. So now who should people listen to?

Welcome and you'll be fine as long as you listen to me and ignore everyone else.

But your BLS is more than just a boy scout first aid class like the emt basic course is in the states.

I think it is hard to truly say. Factors such as how fast they will be seen and treated in the ER and how aggressive your protocols are. For example if the patient needs thrombolytics and your service carries and say odds are the patient will have to wait 30 minutes in the ER to get them you stopping them on the street in front of the hospital saves 25 minutes. So you benefited patient. Now if all you are going to be able to do is start an IV then by all means just let the basics take them on in. In most cases I would think unless intercept is done at least 10 minutes out the basics should probably just finish the transport. Wow I am talking in circles now. Wow Ruff thinks for frying my brain.

Make sure you brush up on altitude sickness. When I summited Pikes peak many tourists were having early symptoms relieved with O2 and a quick ride down. This summer at even lower altitude in the Rocky mountain national park had one have a heart attack probably because altitude sickness was missed. Thankfully all I was doing was vacationing and not involved in any of it. Congrats sounds like you are on top of the world in more than one way.

Well Sharon's memorial service is this afternoon. I will miss her greatly.

All age groups should get taught when and how to call 911. All can learn CPR and how to help someone that is choking. With the younger children make some large props such as a huge phone and allow them to use it to dial 911. They get a laugh, have fun, and remember the number.

haha Sadly though thats the way all the anti gun people think those that carry will act. Yet in reality most people never have a clue who has a gun near them.

Now that this has happened the local news has jumped on the bandwagon of air ambulance safety. http://www.cbs7.com/news/details.asp?ID=20433

I have lost a friend of many years. Sharon devoted her life to helping people. There is a hole in my heart that can never be filled. http://www.cbs7.com/news/details.asp?ID=20372 Fatal Plane Crash in Brewster County 7/4/10 Jennifer Samp CBS 7 News July 4, 2010 Alpine, Texas - Tragedy this July 4th as a medical plane crash in Alpine kills all five on board, now investigators are looking for the cause. According to the sheriff's office, it happened just after midnight. We're being told an O’Hara Flying Service medical plane was transferring an elderly woman with a broken hip to Medical Center Hospital in Odessa. Her husband, two medics, and a pilot were traveling along with her. DPS has identified them as Guy Richard Folger of Midland, and his wife, Mary Folger. The pilot was identified as 59-year-old pilot Ted Caffarel. Two flight nurses, 42-year-old Tracy Chambers of Alpine and 49-year-old Sharon Falkener of Fort Davis. Sheriff Dodson says the plane crashed a mile after take off and exploded on impact. The bodies were unidentifiable. The sheriff's department says the weather conditions were clear enough for flight and believes the cause could be mechanical. We spoke to an investigator with the NTSB who said this investigation could take up to 8 months. She says they are bringing focus to emergency air ambulance accidents nationwide. The FAA is also investigating the crash. DPS is guarding the crash sight tonight and the investigation will continue tomorrow morning. CBS7 has discovered this is not the first time the flight company O’Hara flying services has had trouble. A report from the National Transportation Safety Board says a little over a year ago a similar plane operated by the Amarillo based company almost crashed. The type of plane (Cessna 421) that crashed today, is identical to the one mentioned in this report. NTSB says on May 8th, 2009, the plane's right engine suddenly stopped working shortly after take off from the Alpine airport. The pilot was forced to make an emergency landing in the middle of a field; he only received minor injuries and was the only person on board. We called O’Hara Flying Service, and they are declining to comment. http://www.kwes.com/global/story.asp?s=12754477 Five Killed in Plane Crash Near Alpine Posted: Jul 04, 2010 4:07 PM CDT Updated: Jul 04, 2010 11:21 PM CDT Video Gallery Five Killed in Plane Crash Near Alpine (7-4-10) 4:10 Staff Report NewsWest 9 ALPINE - Five people from West Texas are dead after a medical plane crashed early Sunday morning after taking off from the airport in Alpine. Brewster County Sheriff Ronnie Dodson tells NewsWest9 that his office got a call about a plane going down around 12:15 Sunday morning. Dodson says the plane is a Cessna 421 medical plane that carries patients to hospitals in the Midland-Odessa area when needed. The Associated Press reports the plane was heading for Midland International Airport before it crashed. The Texas Department of Public Safety says the pilot was apparently trying to make an emergency landing when the plane hit a rut, overturned and burned. The Texas Department of Public Safety has released the names of the victims. •Mary Folger, 73, of Midland •Richard Folger, 78, of Midland •Sharon Falkner, 49, a medic from Fort Davis •Tracy Chambers, 42, a medic from Alpine •Ted Caffarel, 59, a pilot who recently moved to Alpine from Beaumont DPS says that Mary Folger was the patient on board the plane. "We've had about 4 plane crashes this year you know with just small planes with very minor injuries," Sheriff Dodson said. "In fact one of them was with this company, but all of them were minor injury plane crashes. Crop duster planes another federal government plane, but this by far is the worst. With two family members, the medics and the pilot." "It is something that is very important for us to find out why these accidents are continuing to happen," NTSB Chief Investigator Jennifer Rodi said. "We've issued a pleothra of recommendations to the industry regarding these types of accidents yet unfortunately they seem to continue to occurs. So, with luck maybe we'll be able to identify something in this particular accident where the change has or has not been made that we've recommended. And see if we can provide additional support for those recommendations." The crash scene is just northeast of the Alpine airport. FAA officials are at the scene and officials with the NTSB are expected to be in Alpine by Sunday night from Colorado. AP reports the FAA lists the aircraft as registered to O'Hara Flying Service II LP of Amarillo. Company owner Denny O'Hara declined to comment to The Associated Press. The plane was on fire and exploded several times when Brewster County Deputies arrived on the scene early Sunday morning, but none of the deputies were injured while responding.

Why do basics always seem to claim that once someone gets a higher education they no longer can do the abc's? That is a bad arguement.

Very interesting insight about your culture. Thanks for sharing.

Well I told you not to juggle with the chain saw.

It means you must complete a course then take the Michigan exam. They probably only allow a year as well.
