  1. ok, I'm going to help anthony out to get him to the event. I've sent him a PM I will be using hotel points so I need to stay at a hilton property preferably a Hampton INN. I will have Anthony in the room but we can probably get a roll away bed into the room so there will be room for a 3rd person. Anthony give me a call - you have my number
  2. and above and beyond that point, it would be great to finally meet the one they call CBEMT
  3. a defribulator is kin to the defibrillator but it's only found in dark locked offices where no-one can get to them.
  4. I'll offer my hotel room up for a2nd person if that will prompt someone with fundage problems to go. I am goin on the 4th so maybe we all can get together on the night of the 3rd. Dust you will be there both days? I'll see you there then.
  5. now this is a great topic -that is all.
  6. from same article referenced lightning strikes show on the 12 Lead as peaked T-waves. here's the quote Pertinent data: EKG on arrival to the community hospital revealed sinus tachycardia with a normal axis, and peaked T waves in the precordial leads V2–V4 (Fig. 2). Twenty-four hours later, EKG revealed normal sinus rhythm with high QRS voltage and early repolarization.
  7. Was there a recent rainstorm? from a article found here http://www.viamedica.pl/gazety/gazeta1/dar...indeks_art=1172 Lightning strikes can result in a variety of injuries including burns and non-cardiac injuries, as well as cardiac arrest and subsequent brain death. Currently, an estimated 50–300 deaths per year in the United States are attributed to lightning causes, with an additional four to five times that number of injuries [4]. One manner in which lightning injury may occur is when a person is touching an object that is part of the pathway of lightning current, the phenomenon of side splash or flash as the current flows through the pathway of least resistance. Blunt injury can also occur, either if the person is thrown as the result of a massive muscular contraction or due to an explosive force
  8. traumatic cardiac arrest, treat the cause electrocution is straight forward - cover the burns wiht dry sterile dressings Treat the cardiac arrest or runs of v-tach with lidocaine (ACLS Dose) or amiodarone The airway is secured by the airway they have but do we have good breath sounds or due to the fall do we have other findings What is the patients LOC
  9. well I'm gonna get him to definitive treatment, the clinic. Run some labs, troponin, lytes and all that. What are my labs chem12 or chem 22 cbc troponin then I'll know what next I need to do
  10. and his light bar/package on his pickup truck has equalled the value of his truck.
  11. well according to the 12 lead he shows STEMI But I am suspecting some type of electrolyte disorder that caused it. Those T-waves are really really spiked. I suspect marked hyperkalemia here is a great article. http://www.chestjournal.org/cgi/reprint/62/1/24.pdf
  12. ok, fix the lifethreats, stop the hyper hyper hyper (emt) ventillation IV, O2, Monitor, do whatever fixing the life threats need to be made. Next have someone go back ot the scene and have them determine what he did. I'm guessing electrocution but where is the blister at? could it be a spider bite that hurt and he fell off the scaffolding. CH I kow you are overseas facing heavy combat might this be a scenario from Iraq or Afghanistan? IF so might he have been shot? Or bitten by one of the spiders as big as horses?
  13. the only problem with him being banned is that now he can spout to all his friends how bad we all were and how unbending that we were here. It was all our fault he got banned not his.
  14. can't be, VS is a lot more argumentative and concise in his statements. He at least would answer the questions posed of him.
  15. that buzzing was driving me crazy. But it was really neat. I think that if they put two arms on it then it could do reports and cpr but if you put 6 arms on it it can do cpr, run reports and intubate at the same time.
  16. hey spenac, I see you have behaved and are still here. call me sometime. I'm sitting in a Hotel room in Madisonville KY getting ready to take my ITLS pre-test and then take the class this weekend. I'm bored.
  17. It can't be GAMedic, he supposedly died in a car crash. But if it is GAMEdic then he needs to be banned.
  18. well if you re-read Eydawns post even you (unless you are blind) can see the question marks. She asked some valid questions which you seem to have missed.
  19. to all the members of the city, there is a whole agenda going on with this person. I don't know what it is yet but there is an agenda that he/she has and is doing their best to promote is. Just ignore em and they will go away.
  20. we have all that stuff too but we don't nearly make 54K a year. Around 43K is what I'll make.
  21. you didn't answer her questions, she has at least 8-10 questions in her long post that you did not answer. Why do you demand answers from us yet refuse to answer questions from us? Are you so afraid of being found out that you may be wrong or is there some other agenda going on here. I suspect you have ulterior motives by posting on this site.
  22. Pedi arrest taking a year - holy cow, my first call at one of my services i worked for was a pedi arrest.
  23. I've worked at over 30 fire stations and ems stations and not one were watching porn at any time I was there. And we were up at all times at night. Your premise lacks substance when you say 90% happens. You can't come in here spouting this sort of diatribe without giving us some basic facts of your background. Your screen name says you are my god which you ARE not, but you claim atheism, that's an oxymoron, atheism and I am your god You obviously work in an area where your colleagues find no issue with watching this sort of material. Why come here and rant when your chosen respnsibility is to eradicate this behaviour. You need to clean your own house before you come in here demanding that we clean ours when NO-ONE on here has said that they watched porn at their stations. Take care of your own house before you demand we take care of ours.
  24. search my posts for emtcity contest and you will find the contest that I did a while back. I had some good submissions.
