  1. Or Newfie time::: Which is an hour 30 minutes ahead of eastern daylight savings time
  2. Call it on scene and do your reading .
  3. The DA tried him on 2nd degree murder charge, NOT manslaughter charge, and failed to prove their 2nd degree case to the jurors.
  4. SWEET :=}
  5. Well It's just been announced::: NOT Guilty on 2nd degree murder charges
  6. Are you getting the Stryker loading system to go with the power stretcher? If you are ::: Lucky you and your crewmates. We love our power stryker stretcher.
  7. Nope : I like watermelon & I'm not black. We have lots of imported Somalians in the cities , brought here by the feel gooders from churches, They all but go into hiding come winter. Pretty sure it doesn't go to - 20f where they came from. They tried it with Haitians and most of them left after a year or two because it was too cold. Hell we even import rednecks on a trial basis from time to time. Gotta have someone to live in the trailers. They don't usually stay as it's too far to a Whalemart. But again this is not about whether someone like an ethnic food or whether we have the second whitest state. This is about whether a Cuban man is guilty of murder in the case of a black teen who was shot after confrontation in a gated community
  8. Ya gotta watch your blood pressure momma. Deep calming breaths now.
  9. I'm good with that. I have some pretty good ideas and was hoping for more form Mari & others
  10. Thats why I said consider it. Might still give a little d-50 to bring her up 120 +/-. Urban outdoorsmen are not known for good diet and nutrition. BG of 90 could be low for her norm. What are her neuro responses to sharp/soft at extremities? normal reflexes? retractions? decorticate posturing? GCS is around 5=6 as I see it at this point. edit for spelling
  11. A quick and CHEAP EMT class could well be the entry requirements for a 90 day wonder medic mill.
  12. The “COMA Cocktail” D O N T Dextrose Oxygen Naloxone Thiamine Sorry Mari: that was my 60 second eval when I got on scene.
  13. Coming from the second whitest state in the nation, I will say that I have several close friends acquaintances that are black and don't buy your bullshit Mikey. The reason more minorities don't settle here? It's cold, It's expensive to live here and did I say It's COLD here. It's also hard to find southern delicacies such as hog jowls , pigs feet and grits here. I know I love grits and have to special order them. This case has little to nothing to do with racism. It has to do with a neighborhood watch member that chose to have a confrontation with the teen who didn't belong in their exclusive community. He was told to back off and chose to confront the teen. In that area of Florida they are both in the Majority rather than being minorities.
  14. Any witnesses present who saw her go down? Blood Pressure? Any signs of drug use: both illegal or prescription? Pupillary responces? Any signs of trauma? Head injury? battle signs? Since she is an urban outdoorswoman, What is her general overall condition? clean/ filthy lack of personal sanitation? was this her campsite/home turf or just passing through Has she been incontinent? I'd first put a c-collar on her and move to long board just because you can't rule out injury IV with NS and a little fluid bolus, 4 lead ECG to look for arrhythmia, if anything abnormal 12 lead. would consider a little narcan to see if it has an effect on altered status. With suspected chronic alcoholism would consider a coma cocktail . I'll let others play now
  15. Welcome to the city.
  16. Still on bed rest EH!
  17. Lets see A black man and a cuban man get in a fight one gets shot & killed. Who's the minority here?????
  18. accelerated and cheap are two words that do not belong in EMS education you get what you pay for
  19. Good for you. Walking in the door looking professional is always bonus points when I interview potential hires. Yes we wear a uniform on the job, but have seen folks show up in jeans and a pocket T shirt or chinos sneaks and a polo shirt.
  20. K Port is where Dubbya got his DUI arrest years ago trying to outrun the local cops
  21. Ruff::: IT'S NJ what do you expect from them.
  22. They allowed airspeed to bleed off until they were in a stall condition. only way to gain lift is to gain airflow over the wings which means increase the forward speed and put the nose down. Kinda hard to put the nose down when your only 100 feet in the air. When that occurs , lift is lost off the wing and you might as well be trying to fly a cinder block or a safe.
  23. The senior pilot in charge basically flew the Forker into the ground. Pilot fail. Latest investigation report says maybe the 2 girls who died may have been run over by emergency vehicles responding to scene.
  24. We use the fire dept thermal imaging camera's to look around a crash site like this. We have found folks hiding several times by following their heat signature through the trees. Mike you are well informed to be scared about how well these drones work. . We have the Maine Wardens service aircraft at our disposal when we get missing boater calls on the ocean. They can cover a lot of ocean in a short time with TI available ,and spot folks marooned or in a kayak , a lot easier than we can search using the mark 1 eyeball and binoculars.
