I have seen many aliens. I have even delivered their babys. :shock:

No need to shout. No need to be rude. You are the one that chose not to repost in english so we could be sure what you were saying.

OK take a deep breath and rewrite in English please. It is hard to follow what you are trying to say as written. "i had a pt that i was transporting to the hospital, while enroute pts family member started having chest pain, and our dispatch notified us that she was having it, so i pulled over to make sure that the pt was okay, mean while my partner who was in the back with the original pt got out and proceeded to help the pts family member leaving the other pt in the back of the rig by herself. also i had started the ambulance that was going to have to pick this pt up since it was out of my psa, which my partner also loaded into our rig to go to the hospital with us.

Another monster truck "murder". :twisted: But seriously now the promotor was crushed to death. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,482747,00.html Promoter Dies After Accident at Monster Truck Show Sunday, January 25, 2009 MADISON, Wis. — A promoter for the Motor Sports Monster Truck and Thrill Show has died from injuries in an accident at the Dane County Coliseum in the second fatality at a monster truck event in nine days. The Dane County Coroner says 41-year-old George Eisenhart Jr. of Chardon, Ohio, died after the accident on Saturday night in Madison. A witness tells the Wisconsin State Journal that Eisenhart walked out in front of one of the monster trucks just as it was about to pass by. The death comes just over a week after 6-year-old Sebastian Hizey died at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Wash. He was struck in the head by a Frisbee-sized chunk of metal that tore off a truck doing doughnuts during the Monster Jam show, which is run by a different company.

It's not weakness its called being human. I mean the way you provide so much valuable information we think of you as a computer , but this just proves you actually are human. Sorry that you had to deal with this and sorry that it will not be the last. We all carry a few of these with us.

I actually had a patient have a CVA in the ambulance this week. I was working by protocol trying to lower BP slowly during long transport. 10 minutes to hospital patients voice became very slurred. Right side completely limp. Facial droop. It sucked to take a patient into the ER in worse condition than when I loaded them into it. I've rerun the scenario multiple times and see nothing I could have done different.

Well Robert your problem is you keep things bottled up. It is important that you learn how to release and express your feelings. :twisted:

Considering that they could have bought at least 3 real ambulances for what this cost it better be smoother than a caddy.

I think in looking back that the follow car was what annoyed me the most.

Economy has been killing my tips. :shock: Thank you for sharing that you as an experienced provider need to continue learning. You are a great example for those of us that are finishing up the classes. We now know there is no shame in seeing something that makes us need to dig deeper, that our education can never stop. I have really enjoyed these two examples you posted this week, while I did not add to them I took a lot from them.

Very true. But when you become advanced it is cool that you actually get to see the meds solve the patients problems. Of course it sucs when you see that they didn't work. But hey at least you got to see what works and what don't. I still say if you want advanced skills become an advanced provider.

There should not be any need for a protocol in this situation. Common sense said someone called 911 from this house. If no one answers we will get the cops to open and enter home. We actually had an officer clear a house and said caller must have gone by another means. Called the ER no one had come in. So with the officer we went in and found the patient under the bed, guess they collapsed and rolled under somehow. Actually patient lived. Had we left would they have survived? Probably not. So at times we don't need black and white we need common sense. I know common sense has no place in EMS based on all we see and hear but I move that we bring it back.

You mean I'll have to keep learning? I thought get my patch and I was done. Please tell me its so. Please.

Actually it should be Paramedics handling these patients. There are too many things that can go wrong that a basic just is not educated enough to catch. Sorry the companys will just have to up there charges so they can afford to pay me.

With 2 medics you have 2 educated people. Less chance of missing things. Plus you can get a break in between patients.

Of course I am. I am always right so everyone needs to just go along with everything I say. :twisted:

I let my Friend take the little old lady in my car to the hospital. I remain withe woman of my dreams.

We are required to give info so the investigator can contact us to discuss. Yes I done so many times sadly.

While doing ambulance time in Paramedic school he will be in the patient compartment not behind the wheel.

Hey who was recording my conversations? :shock:

Did these guys act as they should have? http://www.philly.com/philly/news/local/20..._negligent.html Jury finds EMT unit negligent But it awarded no damages for failure to break into the home of a dying woman. By Kathleen Brady Shea Inquirer Staff Writer Gasping for air on the 911 recording, the 45-year-old Chester County woman said she was having difficulty breathing. Early on Feb. 22, 2004, Judy Pomerleau of Lower Oxford Township told a 911 operator that she had a history of heart and asthma problems but would try to unlock her door. "Oh, Lord," she is heard repeating. Pomerleau never made it to the door, and yesterday a Chester County Court civil jury concluded that Southern Chester County Emergency Medical Services was negligent for failing to break into the home. However, the panel decided that the negligence did not play a substantial role in causing Pomerleau's death and awarded no damages to her estate. Pomerleau's relatives, represented by attorney Joseph P. Green Jr., sued the agency in June 2005, alleging that the haste of emergency responders in leaving Pomerleau's residence when no one answered the door or telephone contributed to her death. Defense attorney Brooks Roderick Foland argued that Francis "Jody" Schiavelli III, the lead paramedic, responded appropriately because the 911 call-taker did not tell the dispatcher that Pomerleau was going to try to unlock the door. "There's no duty to find a person under the law. There's a duty to act reasonably," Foland said in his closing argument. Foland said medical evidence suggested that Pomerleau, who died of respiratory arrest, would not have survived even with treatment. Green countered that Pomerleau had "a right to fight for her life" that was denied by the premature departure of emergency workers, who testified that they could not see inside the house. About an hour after emergency workers left the residence, Pomerleau's nephew, Kevin Tabor, came home and found his aunt lifeless on the floor, the phone clutched in her hand. After a second 911 call, she was taken to Southern Chester County Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 2:20 a.m. Responding to the verdict, Robert Hotchkiss Jr., chief executive officer of Southern Chester County Medical Services, disagreed with the jury's contention that the agency was negligent. "We believe our paramedic was following the protocols," he said. "We see tragedy every day; this was a tragic case."

I hate to see you think about going. I am disappointed that you refuse to accept that there is any opinion that is right except yours on this discussion. While you and I don't agree on this discussion there is no reason to get mad.

LOL. Looks like he may have pissed off someone in the know. You know how dare someone think they should get to be only a health care provider, its cheaper for the city to combine the two and patient care be darned.

Anything to make us look good on paper come budget time, who cares about the patients? :roll: It is sad that is the attitude of those in power in most places.
