Search AMR here as the service has been discussed so you can get some info about it.

I look forward to this information as well as I am trying to help update our protocols.

Anybody do it this way?

I personally would like both options. Battery fails on my drill I can still pop in an IO with the BIG.

Well the money is starting to pile up at this rate I may be able to retire in a 100 years.

You mean I have to unpack the u-haul. Darn it I'm already over halw way to CO. I am so pissed. Wonder if they will refund me the rental since I never got there?

When they 6-12 pounds they ain't kidding any more and it gets messy.

I know you done got me figured out I need to find a new person to rile up.

Wheres Itku2ers bite me smiley when I need it?

Well the fee for using EMTCITY turned out to be a scam but to late I did not program a way to turn this off so thinks for the money.

Actually a BIG and replacement needles for the EZ IO are about the same, EZ IO maybe higher, so you will never recoup cost of start up. But you will have less chance of failure so might recoup in not as many failures by improperly used BIGs.

I don't know I might speed so she could see me dance with joy just like I will on her grave. Did I just type that out loud? Yeah sure race was the cause of it all. They arrested a white women for the same thing, just months before this happened. Maybe because he was black they didn't arrest him for fleeing. So maybe race did play a part. This race crap has to stop. It is not the 50's. If anything minority's have more rights than the great white oppressor. It is time to shut up and just decide that things occurred because a human did something stupid rather than trying to play race cards.

EZ IO is best bet. One services has both and we almost only use EZ IO. In fact you can place an EZ IO on an awake patient with about the same pain of an IV. With the B.I.G. you better have patient secured or they will come off the cot. Also with the BIG I have seen people not put enough pressure so they do not penetrate the bone.

For those wanting to make money for the low price of not$89.99 not79.99 not 69.99 but only 19.99 I will set you up as well.

In response to the new Dues to be a member of EMTCITY I have had to begin charging a toll of $0.50 per view of any topic I have started or posted in. Do not worry no action is required on your part as I have installed an automatic financial capture software that has already withdrawn the funds for reading this and all other pages. Thank you in advance for your support.

EMS is being affected by the economy in many parts to. Search here and you will see on large city is looking at cutting ALS to save money. You will see services lowering number of ambulances. You will find fire is starting to rethink sending twenty trucks to help the PreHospital Medical Professionals. So no EMS is not immune to a bad economy. The sad thing is the public thinks ambulances have to be here, they do not know we are optional, we are not mandatory. So one day when budgets get real tight you will get to the station and find a nice note that says get off this property you no longer work here.

Is this a sign that your are going mental?

This has to be the funniest argument I mean discussion of EMTCITY history. Almost got Mateo stirred up again.

OOPs my bad. I do like the rear lifts like in the discussion I posted, but I think what you describe is an accident waiting to happen.

From the book "SLAM: Street Level Airway Management" found this tidbit on proper exam technique: "When assessing respiratory movement, it is useful to expose both the chest and the abdomen, and then look along the line of the abdomen and chest from a position close to the patients feet. From there it is often possible to spot small differences in the degree of expansion of the two sides of the chest which may be invisible from directly above the patient."

Actually it is weird that their bodys seem programmed for circumcision. "In Genesis 17:12, God specifically directed Abraham to circumcise newborn males on the eighth day. Why the eighth day? In 1935, professor H. Dam proposed the name “vitamin K” for the factor in foods that helped prevent hemorrhaging in baby chicks. We now know vitamin K is responsible for the production (by the liver) of the element known as prothrombin. If vitamin K is deficient, there will be a prothrombin deficiency and hemorrhaging may occur. Oddly, it is only on the fifth through the seventh days of the newborn male’s life that vitamin K (produced by bacteria in the intestinal tract) is present in adequate quantities. Vitamin K, coupled with prothrombin, causes blood coagulation, which is important in any surgical procedure. Holt and McIntosh, in their classic work, Holt Pediatrics, observed that a newborn infant has “peculiar susceptibility to bleeding between the second and fifth days of life.... Hemorrhages at this time, though often inconsequential, are sometimes extensive; they may produce serious damage to internal organs, especially to the brain, and cause death from shock and exsanguination” (1953, pp. 125-126). Obviously, then, if vitamin K is not produced in sufficient quantities until days five through seven, it would be wise to postpone any surgery until some time after that. But why did God specify day eight? On the eighth day, the amount of prothrombin present actually is elevated above one-hundred percent of normal—and is the only day in the male’s life in which this will be the case under normal conditions. If surgery is to be performed, day eight is the perfect day to do it. Vitamin K and prothrombin levels are at their peak. The chart below, patterned after one published by S.I. McMillen, M.D., in his book, None of These Diseases, portrays this in graphic form. Dr. McMillen observed: We should commend the many hundreds of workers who labored at great expense over a number of years to discover that the safest day to perform circumcision is the eighth. Yet, as we congratulate medical science for this recent finding, we can almost hear the leaves of the Bible rustling. They would like to remind us that four thousand years ago, when God initiated circumcision with Abraham.... Abraham did not pick the eighth day after many centuries of trial-and-error experiments. Neither he nor any of his company from the ancient city of Ur in the Chaldees ever had been circumcised. It was a day picked by the Creator of vitamin K (1984, p. 93). Moses’ information, as recorded in Genesis 17:12, not only was scientifically accurate, but was years ahead of its time. How did Moses have access to such information? The answer, of course, is provided by the apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 3:16—“Every scripture is inspired of God.” REFERENCES Holt, L.E. and R. McIntosh (1953), Holt Pediatrics (New York: Appleton-Century-Crofts), twelfth edition. McMillen, S.I. (1984), None of These Diseases (Old Tappan, NJ: Revell)."

Richard here is a topic on ambulances with back door lifts. Hope it helps. http://www.emtcity.com/index.php?showtopic...+back+door+lift

Babys stink. At least if you don't change them every couple of days. Congrats. Glad its you guys up all night and not me.

Ninth dang at 16 I graduated.

We don't have it either but I think that is a luxury she wishes could happen. I like the idea myself.
