Many years ago guy was sentenced to hanging. He ate himself fat so they could not hang him. Never understood just get a better rope and hang him. If his head popped off he would still be dead.

Good scenario. Thanks.

Wow so only way we could be worse off is if we had no EMS? Honestly with the low standards, educational and others, most USA medics, including myself despite higher education, could never even get on an ambulance in many countries unless as a patient. But I do not blame the vollys for all of it. But back to the VFD of the OP. Excellent example of how young people can be shown how to become productive.

So you are saying vollys are holding EMS back? Because if the America you are talking about is the USA you are making a tongue and cheek remark as we all know the USA EMS is so far behind the times. It is a laughing stock to the rest of the developed nations and even many underdeveloped nations.

Next time a gang banger starts shooting my way I'll just holler hey stop I'm allergic to bullets and they will stop shooting.

I know many great volly fire depts. Not near as many calls for fire response so it is an ideal program to be done in volly form.

Yes the NR added that feature. Nice but you still need to keep paper copies so if audited.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100420/ap_on_re_us/us_ohio_execution Ohio rapist who claimed drug allergy executed Associated Press Writer Matt Leingang, Associated Press Writer – 7 mins ago LUCASVILLE, Ohio – A serial rapist who strangled a 16-year-old girl in 1988 and who had argued he might be violently allergic to the state's execution drug was put to death Tuesday with no apparent complications. As the lethal injection began, Darryl Durr clenched his fists, grimaced and held his head up for about 10 seconds before gently putting it down. It wasn't clear if he was in pain or emotionally reacting to the moment. Durr, 46, was pronounced dead at 10:36 a.m. at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville. "He was a monster," the victim's mother, Norma Jean Godsey, said after witnessing the execution. Durr kidnapped 16-year-old Angel Vincent from her home in Elyria on Jan. 31, 1988, while her mother and stepfather were away at a Super Bowl party, prosecutors said. He raped and strangled her with a dog chain and hid her body inside two orange traffic barrels placed end-to-end in a Cleveland park. In what appeared to be an unusual legal maneuver, Durr's lawyers said last week they uncovered evidence of Durr's anesthesia allergy in his 800-page prison medical record. Ohio uses a large dose of anesthesia to execute condemned inmates, and Durr argued that no one knew how his body would react to the drug. The state countered that there was no proof that an allergic reaction would occur before Durr was already deeply unconscious and that the worst reaction would be death from low blood pressure and impaired breathing, effects that would be irrelevant in the context of an execution. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to intervene Monday, upholding a judge's ruling that Durr waited too long to raise the allergy issue, then relied mainly on speculation to ask for time to investigate. Dennis Sipe, one of two attorneys who witnessed Tuesday's execution on behalf of Durr, said Durr's reaction more likely stemmed from physical pain rather than his feelings about being executed. "I think he had come to terms with the fact that the state was going to end his life," Sipe said. In a final statement Tuesday, Durr addressed a minister, saying: "I planned to go out in a struggle, but I want to make you proud. I'll go out in peace." He also told Vincent's family he was sorry for their pain but maintained his innocence. He said he hoped the courts would have allowed further DNA testing on a necklace found on the victim. "Unfortunately, that's not going to happen," he said. Experts testified there would be no DNA on the necklace, and authorities couldn't guarantee the necklace had been preserved properly as evidence. Prosecutors said Durr was obsessed with Vincent. Durr, then 24, had fathered a child with a teenage girlfriend who lived down the street from her. Durr named his newborn daughter Angel and made his girlfriend model the jeans he had removed from his victim the night she was abducted, prosecutors said. Three months later, several boys playing in the park noticed a foul odor and found Angel Vincent's decomposed body inside the traffic barrels. The case remained unsolved until Durr was arrested on two unrelated rapes in September 1988. His girlfriend, Deborah Mullins, came forward and told authorities that Durr had picked her up the night Vincent disappeared. Vincent was tied up in the back of the vehicle, Mullins said, and Durr said he was going to "waste" her. Durr dropped her off at an apartment, Mullins said, then returned about four hours later and placed Vincent's ring and bracelet on a coffee table. Durr boasted that he had strangled Vincent, Mullins said. He was convicted largely on the testimony of Mullins, who said she waited months to tell police about the murder out of fear that Durr would harm her. Prosecutors said Mullins knew facts about the case that she could not have known without Durr telling her, including the location of the body. Godsey, who now lives in Monticello, Ky., said Vincent was her only child. She drank and smoked heavily for four years after the murder, leading to chronic bronchitis and other health problems that require her to carry an oxygen tank. "He took everything from me," she said. Godsey said she was disappointed that Durr didn't admit his guilt and ask God for forgiveness. Wesley Brewer, Vincent's uncle, said he was glad Ohio has the death penalty but wished the state used the electric chair instead. Lethal injection, he said, is too humane for a killer like Durr. Durr was the fourth inmate executed this year in Ohio, which is on pace to execute a state record 11 inmates in 2010.

Wow second EKG no axis deviation, no hemiblock, no bundle block. Did we have right EKG? Was one EKG malfunctioning? Did he get a heart transplant while being transported?

There you go again. Have a great day.

Full cardiac panel. Xray.

Treat as an active MI based on symptoms until proven otherwise as presumed new onset LBBB could be hiding any ST elevation/depression.

Actually looks more like pathological left axis deviation indicative of an anterior hemiblock and on top of that has left bundle branch block confirmed in lead V1. With two blocks this guy is a ticking time bomb.

HX, Has this happened before? Meds? Vitals? EKG, 12 and 15 lead? Blood glucose level? Skin color, moisture, etc? Lung and heart sounds?

Yes they are on Bing, google and many other search engines, as told Dwayne will not get into that never ending cirle. Just like the anti spanking you find quacks and quality of course depends on which side you stand often as to which catagory you place each expert. With all respect.

I will not get drawn into this discussion and waste your time and more importantly my time as you and I both know as educated people for every so called expert you find for your opinion I can find one to back mine and this would never end. I will address again why I have a problem with you though. I have no problem with a person having a different opinion. Though I disagree with your opinion I choose not to attack you by calling you names. All I ask is that you refrain from personal attacks when you disagree. Post your opinion and include a so called experts statement. Good for you. But rather than doing that you choose to attempt school ground bully techniques and then follow up when called out with the above attempt to try and provoke. So now I have shown you and all the other readers of this forum proper respect in two ways: 1. Not wasted their time with numerous quotes that will have no bearing on their opinions as they have also made educated decisions and also have Bing. 2. I have shown you the respect of explaining a way you could improve without any insults what so ever. I will end now with no name calling unlike the way you chose to end. That is showing respect for your fellow human. Have a great day.

I only had twooooooo.

When this topic was first revived someone posted a negative on every one of my comments. Wish if someone decides to negative multiple posts of one person. Wish they were man or woman enough to post why.

I get tired of the attacking and name calling of those with a different opinion. Your attempt at trying to say I am ignorant has failed. Don't like my opinion fine. State your opinion but leave the negative bull crap out.

Want to stop the trouble making? Lets go back to the old days teachers beat your butt, principle beats your butt, then the parents rather than crying about poor little Johnny beat his butt. Once or twice and kids will behave. This current age of don't touch is not working.

Holy crap somebody had fun marking negatives on this very old topic. Some people just are not intelligent enough to have a negative button.

Get the patient in the ambulance and roll. Treat in route to hospital. Request cops join you on the way. These so called medics failed. I agree they were right not to enter scene but once they had the patient treat him.

Well they sure have done a lot of fighting to the benefit of all EMS. Maybe I shall join the dark side.

Exactly. Easier to rob fort knox than get our narcs.

Maybe he's happily married? And yes there are some people like myself that are happily married. Perhaps despite what all seem to think he was wanting to be faithful and the supervisor by her continued actions created a hostile work environment. It actually annoys me how when we see the female be the aggressor everyone just laughs.
