THE TRUTH COMES OUT!!!!!!!! Now we know what your problem is bushy. I am sure you can find a support group!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

After numerous rounds of "We don't even know if Osama is still live," Osama himself decided to send George Bush a letter in his own handwriting to let him know he was still in the game. Bush opened the letter and it contained a single line of Coded message: 370H-SSV-0773H Bush was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Condoleezza Rice. Condi and her aides had not a clue either, so they sent it to the FBI. No one could solve it at the FBI so it went to the CIA, then to MI6 and Mossad. Eventually they asked Australian Intelligence (ASIO) for help. Within a minute ASIO emailed the White House with this reply: "Tell the President he's holding the message upside down."

Ummm, there is now studies underway to determine if stenting really is all it is cracked up to be & early reports are that in most cases may prove unnecesarry. Try again.

Craig I have never refused to transport a person who has requested transport. I have advised patients that there may be extended delays before seeing a doctor, questioned their motives for calling an ambulance, but nevr have i refused to transport. Phil

Two doctors opened an office in a small town and put up a sign reading: Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Psychiatry and Proctology The town council was not happy with the sign, so the doctors changed it to "Hysterias and Posteriors." This was not acceptable either, so in an effort to satisfy the council they changed the sign to "Schizoids and Hemorrhoids". No go. Next, they tried "Catatonics and High Colonics." Thumbs down again. Then came "Manic Depressives and Anal Retentives." Still no good. Another attempt resulted in "Minds and Behinds." Unacceptable again. So they tried "Lost Souls and Butt Holes." No way. "Analysis and Anal Cysts?" Nope. "Nuts and Butts?" Uh uh. "Freaks and Cheeks?" Still no go. "Loons and Moons?" Forget it. Almost at their wit's end, the doctors finally came up with: "Dr Smith and Dr. Jones, Odds and Ends." Everyone loved it.

Personally i prefer the hellfire club........

Everybody who has a dog calls him "Rover" or "Spot" I made the mistake of calling mine "Sex". Now Sex has been very embarrassing to me. When I went to city hall to renew his dog license, I told the clerk I would like a license for Sex. He said "I'd like to have one too!" Then I said "But this is for a dog." He said "I don't care what she looks like." Then I said "You don't understand, I've had Sex since I was nine years old." He said "You must have been quite a kid." When I got married and went on my honeymoon, I took the dog with me. Not wanting the dog to bother us, I told the clerk that I wanted a room for my wife and I and a special room for Sex. He said that every room in the place was for sex. I said "You don't understand, Sex keeps me awake at night." The clerk said "Me too." One day I entered Sex in a dog show, before the competition began, Another contestant asked me what I was doing. I told him that I planned to have Sex in the show. He said that I should have sold my own tickets. When I asked if the show was televised he called me a pervert. I left my dog at the Veterinarian. When I went to pick him up I said "I've come for my dog." She said "Which one Spot or Rover?" I said "What about Sex?" She slapped me. After I straightened out the misunderstanding, I asked if Sex was good for her. She slapped me again. Sex ran away, I went to the dog pound. As I was looking in all the cages the operator came up to me. I said I'm looking for Sex. He said I was looking in all the wrong places. When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of the dog. I said "Your Honor I had Sex before I was married." He said "What's your point, so did I." I said "But my wife wants to take Sex away." He said "That's what happens in a divorce." Last night Sex ran off. I spent hours looking for him all over town. A cop came over to me and asked, "What are you doing in this alley at 4 o'clock in the morning?" I said I was looking for Sex....... My case comes up Friday.

I can never agree wit hrefusing transport to someone, there are too many things that can go wrong. I do however believe that as EMS is a MEDICAL service (as opposed to an appendage of fire) & we transport to a MEDICAL facitlity, if the person is deemed to have nothin wron, then hit them with a full fee. if they dont pay, chase them for the money. People call because the have a percieved need, they may not have any physical S&S, buthow many of our elderly patients call because they are lonely? This is an opportunity for us to take a more holistic approach to pre hospital medicine & yr health depts (& mine too) should work towards an ems referal service. One that will in the long run reduce hospital presentations & provide the most appropriate care to your patients. To refuse to transport is a legal & ethical minefield that I want no part of. At the end of the day ems is also a transport service. They ring, we transport. Play safe Phil

A big game hunter walked in the bar and bragged to everyone about his hunting skills. The man was undoubtedly a good shot and no one could dispute that. But then he said that they could blindfold him and he would recognize any animal's skin from its feel, and if he could locate the bullet hole he would even tell them what calibre the bullet was that killed the animal. The hunter said that he was willing to prove it if they would put up the drinks, and so the bet was on. They blindfolded them carefully and took him to his first animal skin. After feeling it for a few moments, he announced "Springbok." Then he felt the bullet hole and declared, "Shot with a .308 rifle." He was right. They brought him another skin, one that someone had in their car trunk. He took a bit longer this time and then said, "Kalahari Lion Shot with a .416 rifle. He was right again. Through the night, he proved his skills again and again, every time against a round of drinks. Finally he staggered home, drunk out of his mind, and went to sleep. The next morning he got up and saw in the mirror that he had one hell of a shiner. So he said to his wife, "I know I was drunk last night, but not drunk enough to get in a fight and not remember it. Where did I get this black eye?" His wife angrily replied, "I gave it to you. You got into bed and put your hand down my panties. Then you fiddled around a bit and loudly announced, "Skunk, killed with an axe"

Just a thought ak, maybe you could use this for your avatar!!!!!! Would be highly appropriate. :twisted: 8) :twisted: 8) :twisted: 8)

I am hoping that this is not a question of my sincerity or abilities, as you know nothing of me or my skills or abilities. I agree that adding extra information can be useful, but in this instance, one would be of the assumption that you were indeed dicussing the use of ASA for cardiac patients as there is no reference to the debate for other ailments. Phil

Never apologise for laughing at AK. God knows he would laugh at you :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Sorry, i thought this forum was on the use of ASA in chest pain not for treatment of a variety of illnesses. No one asks us to be pharmacists but an understanding of the drugs we give & effects they can have on patients allows use to use them effectivley. This should be in conjunction with an understanding of the pathophisiology of the illness/complaint presented to us. Can we also say we are not Orthopods so we cant treat fractures? or we are not cardiologists so we cant treat cardiac illness? If you are entrusted to give a drug, you need to know its uses, effects, indications, contraindications BEFORE you give it. Phil

Nitro effects last for up to 30 minutes, depending on the patient, this is still a short half life but a little longer than 1-4 mins. We use is where myocarial infarction or ischaemia is suspected - diagnosed without a 12 lead- cardiogenic pulmonary oedema & autonomic dysreflexia, provided the pt maintains a systolic BP >100mmHg. Which areas? I would be curious to read the reference material if provided. It is also interesting to note that a supliment to the Medical Journal of Australia provided a supliment 'Guidelines for the managment of Acute Coronary Syndromes 2006' This document was produced in conjunction with the National Heart Foundation as well as The Cardiac Society of Australia & New Zealand with input from 18 seperate Cardiac specialists, professors & Associate Professors. It states 'Aspirin should be given early (ie, by emergency or ambulance personnel) unless already taken or contraindicated. It further stated that this should be used in conjunction with Glyceral Trinitrate & Morphine.' Phil

If you have a suspicion forsome sort of cardiac event, & the pt has no bleeding tendencies ulcers etc or a know allergy, i would give it. Will this action hurt them? Unless they have something undiagnosed, no it wont. Will it benefit them? if they are havin a cardiac episode, yes it will. I agree with dust that this is where education plays a large part in your judement. Out protocol actually states to give it if Mcardial Ischaemia is suspected even if you are unsure of the cause, give it anyway!!!!! Play safe Phil

German busted drunk driving in wheelchair A wheelchair-bound German stunned police when they pulled him over for using the road and found he was 10 times over the legal alcohol limit for drivers. "He was right in the middle of the road," said a spokesman for police in the northeastern city of Schwerin today. "The officers couldn't quite believe it when they saw the results of the breath test. That's a life-threatening figure." The 31-year-old told police he had been out drinking with a friend and was about 2 kilometres from home when a squad car stopped him as he passed through the village of Ventschow. Police said that because the man was technically travelling as a pedestrian, he could not be charged with a driving offence. "It's not like we can impound his wheelchair," the spokesman said. "But he is facing some sort of punishment. It's just not clear yet what exactly that will be." http://www.smh.com.au/news/unusual-tales/g...9601421995.html

Fire has whipped through a room in a bondage and discipline centre, causing about $100,000 damage. Metropolitan Fire Brigade crews were called to The Correction Centre in Fitzroy, Melbourne, shortly after 10.15pm yesterday. They contained the fire to a room on the first floor of the two-storey building. No one was injured but much of the upper level was damaged by heat and smoke. The fire was under control in about 30 minutes, Acting Commander Ala McLean told Southern Cross radio. "It was fairly quickly controlled. It was a small fire. Once they gained access into the first-floor area it was reasonably quickly extinguished," Mr McLean said. A candle is thought to be the cause of the fire. http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/firefi...9601453908.html

So hw does the goat feel about this. I know the 2 of you have become very 'close' in your time there. Does Afgan law allow you to be intimate with more than one goat? :twisted:

Bushy, you know I believe you were hard done by & I would love to work alongside you. I know you have a HECS debt & I truly hope that you suceed in getting into the [s:69b947039c]circus[/s:69b947039c] service. But is this really the place ti dish a potential employer?

Jemmat i work in NSW & we have had a few from the UK appl & get through here www.ambulance.nsw.gov.au . Having said thet, they look at the education you already have & compare it to what is learned here & in most cases will give you recognition of prior learning. Wages vary depending on weather you are city or county (country is higher) & the station you are on, the roster you work etc. Bushy, try not to be so bitter Phil

Dont worry about it. I have had an ER doc diagnose a pt with a disecting AAA as having muscular skeletal pain (non palpable in the field) At least I had cardiovascular suspicions. A wise man once told me always treat for the worst & hope for the best. That way yu cover all bases.
