Wow. Bored? Wow. This refurbished ambulance had a previous life as a Rural/Metro ALS/BLS transport. However, its destiny was to become the ultimate Colts tailgating vehicle. A side compartment was customized to serve as a keg cooler with taps inside and outside of this rig. Mini field goal posts are extended up each game from the top of this truck to let everyone know where some serious Colts fans are located. The Fanbulance's first game was November 16, 2003. The Fanbulance sports a DirectTV satellite dish and a custom interior with TV to catch all the pre-game scoop and to entertain younger fans. Taken from Indiana Fire Trucks go check his site out. Even if you aren't from Indiana, it satisfies the little boy in you!

I am never home, and turn stuff off when ever I leave, and I still pay $100/month for my TINY one bedroom. Its ok. We feel.

At dispatch, the first foggy morning, the day capitan calls in and asks for the "fog lifters." Thats funny, espically when the trainee starts to call the highway department to ask for them.

I say it is MRSA.

Didn't say they didn't do a good job at it. I don't have protocols on selective C-Spine either. It was just an observation I was making, thats all. When you C-Spine 100% of paitents in a specific MOI, and (guessing) .5% of them have any spinal injury, you are waisting 99.5 percent of resources. When those .5% all have the same things in common, then it is easier to narrow it down to C-Spine those (guessing) 25% of paitents to protect the .5% that are injured. Then you are only wasting 24.5% of resources.

Word on the street is that ak is selling EMT city male thongs on the underground market.

Did you talk to her about your agency's plans on implementing protocols to allow you to decide if C-Spine is needed on all car accident patients?

More young adults on cholesterol, blood pressure drugs. — The Associated Press TRENTON, N.J. — Use of cholesterol and blood pressure medicines by young adults appears to be rising rapidly — at a faster pace than among senior citizens, according to an industry report being released Tuesday. Experts point to higher rates of obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol problems among young people. Also, doctors are getting more aggressive with preventive treatments. “This is good news, that more people in this age range are taking these medicines,” said Dr. Daniel W. Jones, president of the American Heart Association. Still, he said many more people should be on the drugs that lower cholesterol or blood pressure and which have been shown to reduce risks for heart attack and stroke. The new data, from prescription benefit manager Medco Health Solutions Inc., indicate use of cholesterol-lowering drugs among people aged 20 to 44, while still low, jumped 68 percent over a six-year period. The rate rose from 2.5 percent in 2001 to just over 4 percent in 2006 among Medco customers. That means roughly 4.2 million Americans in that age group are now taking cholesterol medicines. Meanwhile, use of blood pressure medicines increased 21 percent, from about 7 percent of 20- to 44-year-olds in 2001 to over 8 percent in 2006. That translates into about 8.5 million Americans in that age group taking drugs to lower their blood pressure. “It was a surprise to us,” said Dr. Robert Epstein, chief medical officer at Franklin Lakes, N.J.-based Medco. “Maybe the fact that we’re seeing more young people with high cholesterol and blood pressure is indicative of the epidemic of obesity and overweight that we’re seeing in this country.” Among people 65 and older, use of blood pressure drugs increased only 9.5 percent and use of cholesterol drugs by 52 percent. That’s because half the seniors were already taking blood pressure drugs and more than one in four were taking cholesterol drugs in 2001. Jones, dean of the University of Mississippi School of Medicine, said he has seen some increase in young adults with blood pressure or cholesterol problems, but not of the magnitude suggested by Medco’s data. Dr. Howard Weintraub, the heart disease prevention expert at the American College of Cardiology, said he’s “thrilled” by the dramatic increase, which he says is tied to requests from patients with “a brand new sense of urgency” and referrals from other doctors to his private practice. “If you wait until a heart attack or stroke, it’s a little bit late,” Weintraub said. He and Epstein both said patients with problems should first work with their doctors on lifestyle changes — more exercise, a better diet and weight loss. But Weintraub said many people need medication to achieve and maintain the ever-lower levels of blood pressure and cholesterol that experts now recommend. However, Dr. John LaRosa, president of SUNY Downstate Medical Center, said, “particularly for young people, lifestyle change is worth a try.” Once patients start taking these medicines, they usually stay with them and there are some side effects, LaRosa said. “It’s amazing what (losing) five or 10 pounds will do” to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels, he said. Federal health statistics show that while the percentage of people with high cholesterol has dropped overall in recent years, it has risen among younger people, especially those 20 to 34 years old. Meanwhile, the prevalence of high blood pressure was flat or up slightly among those age groups; among women in the 35 to 44 age group, the rate of high blood pressure rose significantly. Medco processes prescription claims for about 60 million insured Americans. The report’s findings are based on a representative sample of data from 2.5 million members. ——— On the Net: www.medco.com Copyright © 1999-2006 cnhi, inc.

Thursday, October 25, 2007 Kellys are most up for sex Men looking for casual sex are most likely to hit on girls called Kelly, according to a new survey. Kelly topped a list of girls names that men reckoned were most up for sex with Tanya coming second, Debs or Debbie third, Becky fourth and Steph fifth. Michelle, Tina, Lisa, Carly and Nicky also make the top ten of names boys think are most up for sex. “It's strange how certain names have connotations. If guys have a good experience with a girl of a certain name, they tend to remember them. It's bad news if your name is Kelly, though,” said John Sewell, a spokesman for OnePoll.com who quizzed 1,000 men for the survey. Women were quizzed on the name of guys who they thought would most likely to try it on the first time they met. Lee came first, Dave second, Andy third, Steve fourth and Kevin fifth in the poll of male sleazes. Gary, Paul, Darren, Jason and Ben made up the rest of the list. “Girls said these are names they would avoid at all costs on nights out.”

How do you know for sure Stephanie is a woman, aside from him just telling us

Hey Bob! Sorry, still stuck on the 19 y/o.

Like this, what if it is your kids because you are the responding unit and your significant other is the one stricken ill?

They both have clear answers, but I am sure we can muddy it up some more!
