haha, awesome!

What about that 'quick clot' stuff I think it was called. Looked like corn meal you just pour into the wound and it dries it all up.

take some propfol!

I watched some MASH, then married with children. harvested some crops now listening to music...

great job, welcome to the city

Does it still count if there is a c-section?

looks like a tube sock with the clamp things from a BP cuff.

I should apply there.. they might make me a medical director...

I have been very rural, and urban in my experiences. That did not change my treatment. It does, however, depend on the patient. If the patient is critical, I am getting them packed up ASAP (not including initial assessment of course). For example, if the patient is feeling weak, having minor difficulty breathing, I am not going to rush them out of their house and into the ambulance. I will treat them in their home and calmly get them packaged up for transport. Now, if they are having crushing chest pain, BP is crap, they look like crap, monitor looks like crap, I am not going to pussy foot around with them. They are load and go. I will treat them en-route. Now for most cases where your patient is a few blocks from the hospital, personally, I'd like to have my patient going into the ER with SOMETHING done for them, and have it looking like I know what I am doing. During clinicals, I HATED seeing a patient being brought in, and all the EMS crew could tell us was a chief complaint, no medical history, no treatment, not even a good set of vitals. Just "HERE YA GO SEEEE YA!". I have had a patient, where we were dispatched from the hospital (we were just dropping a patient off) and literally, ACROSS THE STREET from the ER, was the address. We walked across the street, called responding, on scene, at patient, enroute, at hospital, all at the same time. The patient fell over, twisted their ankle, and wanted to see the Dr. We put her on the stair chair, put on an ice pack and roller her across the street. Why people want to load an go everything, is beyond me.

I guess that makes some sense then.

I have a boyscout handbook and google.. I'm good

See, that's what I am saying. I won't deny anyone care/transport if they need it. But a few places I have been, I have been told, DO NOT transport these people... DO not respond here... I am like... woah, what?

Looks like that might be fun!

mine are useless here, oh well

what does ak's computer have to do with admin?

you are using a mac thought, no idea how to get around that on a mac. unless her account has admin privileges, you can go into the use account settings and manually change the password to your account you are using a mac thought, no idea how to get around that on a mac. unless her account has admin privileges, you can go into the use account settings and manually change the password to your account you are using a mac thought, no idea how to get around that on a mac. unless her account has admin privileges, you can go into the use account settings and manually change the password to your account. we had a problem like this back when I was in paramedic school. the stupid network admin or whatever did something on the network, that changed all the user account settings on the computers. we couldn't get into our lectures or anything. so, I kindly asked for a few minutes alone in the lab, and said it was fixed. and not to ask questions

I say "ambulance station" because I have seen them at several different places, being volunteer, paid, private, county/city run places.

I have been around quite a few ambulance stations, and I have noticed that most of them have a "list". This list consists of people in the coverage area that do not pay their bill. When I asked about it, the answers I got were "oh, so we know who not to transport or respond to". Is it just me, or is this just morally wrong?

No issues here, and I have ignored people. But I don't think they have posted in threads I looked at.

Don't rely on them for anything though! I called several, and no one likes to answer their phones. The one that did, was super rude to me.
