I wouldn't work for someone who wouldn't let me sleep when I'm not on calls and there is nothing else to do.....yet still expects me to be up all night.

The only thing that sucks about TCH is the very long triage times if your stable.

Saw Cross Candian Ragweed at the Rodeo last Monday.:wink: "...them boys in OK. role their joints all wrong.."

The only "badge" we have is a photo ID card that is clipped to your shirt (state requires it), but we have no badges, no collar brass, and no other "metalic" items on our shirts. Having a shirt that weighs 10 pounds and sets off metal detectors is not a good thing.

Freaking nurses telling me lies, they told me TCH wasn't a trauma center for pedis. :evil:

Eh, I'm going to sleep...crew is in quarters at last and I said I'd wait up for them.

The one with the psycho girl?

I would, except he is into internet dating...and we are lucky if he even shows up anymore.

We have a guy who works for us and never had interent, or even really been on a computer until he came to work here. He would spend his entire shift (when not on calls) surfing the internet on GOOGLE.

I went to CISD after we worked the last BP plant that blew up...they had good food. We don't have any formal CISD, we do provide someone for the really bad calls if someone wants to talk about it. Most people here have the view that they do the best they can and they understand that you'll see the worst of society; but you also see the best too.

:roll: I'll be blocking GOOGLE for you from now on. :wink:

Thats what I said, pediatric trauma goes to Hermann. The only thing we take to TCH is medical, and I have yet to find to many people who have transported to Ben Taub with a pediatric patient (even though they have a pedi ER). I thought Conroe was nearing Level 2 status. I know that the new Katy Hermann is suppose to be a Level 3 and there was a rumor that a Level 2 hospital was going to be built around Highway 3/Beltway 8/I-45 to service Pasadena, South Houston, and Clear Lake. Is Mainland even ranked?

$8.25....eh...thats a hell of a pay cut. :shock: I can go sit at the local mall and check out the MILF action and make my regular OT rate.

You probably shouldn't be talking about it on here, that is for sure. BTW; since when can an EMT give anything SQ? At least they can't here in Texas.

Liberty County eh?

:wink: The level of hot girls is a plus.

We have looked into fiber optic systems to intubate those "hard" patients, but I have to agree with Rid.

I don't do burns, I just fly them out. <~~Joke

I have, it was a blast...not your typical EMS, but you'll still have a lot of fun.

Thats got to be either ESD or Montgomery...in which case if it is Montgomer I wouldn't be surprised if one day they have the freaking cath lab in the back of the truck. Here in Houston, with the expection of a few hospitals...they can handle just about any kind of medical emergency, now trauma is a different story. We have two Level 1's (three if you count Galveston) and we have several Level 2's and 3's. Most are working their way up to Level 2. The ones who can't handle most medical emergencies are usually Level IV or unranked. We have two children's ER's, they are dedicated to only children...however everyone forgets about one. They all want to go to Texas Children's, but they forget that Hermann has one that is just as good (and hella quicker) as TCH. This is how it breaks down for trips into the Texas Medical Center. Most trauma goes to Ben Tuab or Hermann with Hermann getting all children's trauma. Neuro, stroke, and cardiac is usually split between St. Lukes, Methodist, and Hermann. If you have someone who wants to just be in the medical center, but wants quick service...then St. Joesph's is our "hidden ace" because almost everyone forgets it is there. We have one hospital called Park Plaza...I wouldn't take Bin Laden to that hospital.

It works good for keeping the patient from sliding off the end of the cot too. :wink:

We still are using the LP10 at the city.

If you count the damage to the heart done by the aunt...

That right there about sums it up.

I recently ran a child who had a family member doing CPR on them....and they were alive and well.
