I like yours so far the best I'll post mine at the end of monday thank you

Vinegar if used improperly can hurt you but it works great for heartburn 1 teaspoon in a glass of water and it soothes burns no idea why. Laundnum (sp) was given for everything with alot of od's. Arsenic was used for arthritis, freaky. And today's rage is everybody needs a hose shoved up there butt. In with the herbs out with the gerbils. Go figure

So Sky Dive Lost Praire just started so it brings up a fun problem. How do you get a unconscious skydiver out of a 50 foot tree? You are on mountain two track so no ladder trucks, and no you cant cut the tree down. There is probably is no limbs for the first 30-40 feet. What do you do I have an idea or two but maybe somebody already figured this out?

I have heard numerous reports of family dogs acting in a jealous manner towards new children in the family. One story goes that the dog drug the baby of its blanket and moved in for himself. As far as wolf hybrids all of them that I have been in contact with are more aggressive and pack oriented then there domestic brothers. He probably didn't want to hurt the child just show it which trees were his.

Alot of good point's all around all I can ad is we should remember that we respond to an incident not react to it.

union non-union whatever anybody working right know should be happy

What about weight lifting we use a belt for that?

It should be 10-12 to start for basics, 14-16 for I's and 20-22 for medics plus benefits. You can push a wheel barrow for 10 on most constuction sites and bend nails for 15. At the wages there paying EMS folks it is hard to motivate anyone to get into this profession. Maybe if everyone volunteered then they wouldn't feel so bad about there pay?

There are two types of politicians liars and dead ones

So her is what is happening in Flathead county. All of the incorporated city's have 24-7 ALS predominantly fire based with fire/medics then as you move out farther into the small communities it is volunteer BLS ambulances with air medical or ground ALS rendezvous. To my knowledge they all bill for services and are still losing there butts. We started our ambu 13 months ago (we were a QRU prior to that)and did'nt see a dime till this month so it has been funded up till know and for the near future from fire budget and a pitiful amount from the county. The largest town in county has the deepest paramedic depth and due to budget crunches will be discontinuing services out of city limits soon. The air medical is only one air craft and starting cost is around $10000. WE average around 65 transports per yr of which 30% are ALS and transported by others and of the remainder we expect a average of 60% cost recovery. Our population base is predominantly below the poverty line. This is presented as a example of rural challenges i'm sure there are other examples.

I love that one. Why be an EMT well on a call a couple a yrs back a 7 yr old gun shot victim looked up at me and asked if she was going to die as strange as that sounds I cant imagine doing anything else. And if your going carrier I'd go Paramedic. And just so people know its still me " Vollies rule paid drool)

Dawn I'm glad you have chose to come up with a fix rather then bitch. Thank you. Your Idea has merit but I have a few questions. What kinda wages would we need to recruit a doc? My guess is enough to pay a couple of paramedics. What if your doctor or medics spent there time between runs training and doing run reviews with the volunteer organizations you have? Also what about using funds that would be spent on a doc to augment volunteers wages so the could be trained up to a higher level and keep there skills up. I do recognize that this system would be defrauded if not monitored closely. As to the idea of sharing a ALS ambulance between agencies I think that would be great. BLS reinforced by ALS or maybe a ALS intercept with a rescue to jump on the BLS ambulance. I disagree with the notion that volunteers are the problem. I think the problem is broader including accountability, (I hate the response ' what do you expect from us we are volunteers'). Another problem is a constant rivallry between b's and medics thats just silly. And as far as vollies holding wages down, maybe so I don't see enough of the US to know the conditions everywhere but what I am sure of is that if the vollies were not there the bean counters would still find excuses to hold the wages down. Reeducating the public to the need of quality EMS whether paid or volly is the key then the bean counters would have to pay for it.
