Ok, so does this robot have search parameters that include "medical technician"? This article has no relevance to EMS at all.

I thought this was an interesting article. Change can be made. http://www.jems.com/article/providers-can-do-their-part-combat-ambul

http://www.jems.com/video/news/california-crash-victim-puts-fight Half way through this video I was thinking I'd just walk away and let the police take him to the hospital. Then I heard that last little tidbit.

I dunno Rock...if it were as easy to get a handgun in Canada as it is in the States, I'd have probably shot someone with my road rage by now.

From the article From that quote I can make the hypothesis that, at one time, he was attemting to enter a private dwelling but has since been prevented entry. I have no idea what happens if he gets there before anyone else though.

A dispute over the rights of a Fredon resident to respond independently to accident scenes and medical emergencies has spurred legal action in local and state courts. Louis Ratti, a former member of the Fredon fire and EMS squads, said in an interview Thursday that he will continue to respond to emergency calls despite requests from Fredon and Newton officials for him to stop. http://www.njherald.com/story/19255901/former-ems-squad-member-takes-dispute-to-court Doesn't he require some sort of medical advisor?

I do both, and worked in a clinical setting. We complimented one another well because of our different scopes of practice. Between the two of us were were actually able to perform quite significant treatments.

What??!! Your ambulances don't all have a calculator as standard equipment? Mine are velcroed to the wall beside the DVD remote. The Plum A+ infusion pump is kinda handy too. Old story. 4 of us having coffee. One new kid fresh outta school and the rest of us with at least 10 years under our belts. New kid is whining about how complicated IV calculations were in school and one of the guys says, "Why don't you just use a calculator?" Kid responds with "Who the hell carries a calculator around everywhere they go." All three of us pulled our calcs out of our pockets and tossed them onto the table. Next day he had a nice shiny new calculator.

Perhaps they should consider keeping one of those old ambulances in mothballs at the back of the shop for a mechanical spare.

We switched to midaz a few years back because it's shorter acting.

Yeah, this client would be a candidate for CPAP in my care.

I've been using these guys, http://www.24-7ems.com/ Not by choice though. It's the only online CME approved for use by our Administration.

Wow!! That is sooo cool!!! Like, a brand new user with his very first post asks about online CME and he gets an answer from another first time poster. I wonder if we'll ever hear from either of them again.

Welcome Jason, feel free to chat in the forums, or if there is a topic you can't find, create a thread yourself. Oh, wait, I see you already did that. This one's quick gang.

I hear that he has had the Golden horseshoe surgically removed from his ass to get it bronzed.

Oops, guess I can't count.

There, now that the group hug is all over with. I thought that the expats working in Saudi also lived on compounds whre the rules are a bit more relaxed. ie, women didn't have to wear hijabs, one could drink certain alcohol, etc.

Cell towers should be banned. Wasn't there a crash in Maryland or Kentucky a few years back that killed everyone on board?

How large are the towns? Do they have hospitals? Do these hospitals transfer patients to larger hospitals? How often does an ambulance get called to the towns right now?

Snicker, sorry buddy. Didn't mean to come off that way. I'll give it a read...no worries. I throw nothing away. I was recently in a dispute with the powers that be and the killing blow that won my case was a 15 year old document. I expended very little effort in acquiring the document for you, so it's a non-issue for me.

<----Sarcasm Detected <----Sarcasm Detected <----No Sarcasm Detected, but holy defensive Batman!!!! Seems to me that this is a case of "If you can't take it, then don't dish it out."

So I can toss mine in the garbage when it arrives?

This external vest makes it look like it's actually a shirt. I've seen these often and have to look twice to recognise it as such.

Good, maybe BC will quit sending students to Sask so we can open up some spots for our residents.

I smell a troll. If you found an ambulance for 10k...walk away. It's one that's at the end of its service life and will likely cost more to keep on the road than it will make. 250k miles on it wouldn't be a surprise. I've known guys who traded in their old ambulance for a Stryker MX Pro...and not the power pro either.
