http://emsresponder.com/article/article.js...n=1&id=7750 Delaware Medic Killed in Ambulance Crash Courtesy of The News Journal/Chuck Snyder The ambulance struck a tree, killing the paramedic, a patient and injuring the driver and another paramedic. Recent EMS Education Webcasts: A patient and paramedic died this morning in an ambulance crash in Sussex County. The single-vehicle accident happened about 2:40 a.m. on Del. 24 (John J. Williams Highway) near the Lewes-Rehoboth fire company substation in Angola, state police spokesman Sgt. Joshua Bushweller said. According to police, the three-member ambulance crew had just picked up patient Betty J. Hall, 82, of Lewes from Renaissance Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Long Neck and was traveling eastbound on Del. 24 enroute to Beebe Hospital with its emergency equipment activated. A deer entered the roadway, and driver Michael E. Wissman, 34, of Frankford maneuvered to the right shoulder to try to avoid the animal. That is when the right side wheels of the ambulance left the roadway. The rear box of the 2005 Ford ambulance struck a tree, creating a large opening on the right side before hitting several additional trees. Hall and Sussex County Paramedic Stephanie L. Callaway, 31, of Lewes died in the crash. Callaway was in the rear of the ambulance attending to Hall. Hall and Mid-Sussex Rescue Squad emergency medical technician Brice H. Hickman, 47, of Dagsboro were ejected. Hickman has been admitted to Beebe Hospital, where he is listed in serious condition. Wissman also has been admitted to Beebe, where he is in stable condition, police said. Del. 24 was closed for several hours but has now been reopened. Delaware State Police will release more details on the accident at a 1 p.m. press conference in Georgetown, Bushweller said. "We are having our worst day," said EMS Director Glenn Luedtke. "We are a family." "Folks don't realize what a dangerous job this is. We've proved that today."

I am not even going to ask.....

That's right folks! With Dwayne's permission, he said I could go ahead and make the announcement on his behalf. Dwayne the paramedic is now in Afghanistan working as a remote paramedic. Through much hard work, studying, training and busting his hump....he managed to find his way over here and is now gainfully employed and learning new things minute by minute. It is going to be quite the adventure my friend and you will see and do many things you never imagined. I know you will do do great and excel in your position. Good luck!

Well dude, good luck to ya. I do not see why they can not both be accomplished...why do you think they are not compatiable? I have been on departments that had clergy affiliated with us. They responded to big scenes, offered counseling to anyone that needed it, etc etc. Several of them were crosstrained as medics and firefighters and there were times they bunkered up and went to work. While I do not agree with it, one department had a priest on the payroll. This was several years ago and the position may be eliminated by now, however there are plenty of opportunities for you to do both and do both well. I have enjoyed your presence since day one, you are a bright, inquisitive young man who I think has the right idea and best of intentions...once you get over your whacker phase. Anyways, I think you should hang around, consider all options and rule nothing out, as you have many, many years ahead of you before such life changing decisions need to be solidified.

I am a weirdo. I have never carried nor used a multi tool on the job.

Ok, I am in no way mechanically educated however I was under the impression that idling saves more fuel than starting and stopping. How long are you posting before you actually go somewhere? If you are sitting for hours, I could see this as making sense. If you are there 45 mins or less, it seems more cost effective to idle as it also keeps your unit cooler which is what the patients need as well.

If I dated her after the call was over, she is no longer a patient, right? Whew....then my answer is no, I have not touched a patient inappropriately.

I didn't want to freak him with the 3.25 I always have readily accessible...

Richard, Asys...got any insight? How does this occur? Are the crews not allowed to ask or question their dispatch? Just curious... FDNY probes why SI ambulance dispatched to midtown Manhattan The Fire Department of New York is investigating why an ambulance on Staten Island was dispatched to assist an 88-year-old woman who had collapsed on a midtown Manhattan street. Fire officials say it took nearly an hour for the ambulance to arrive. The woman was taken to a nearby hospital and is expected to recover. Her name was not released. Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum says the city failed to help the woman in a timely manner. FDNY spokesman Tony Sciafani says the delay was unacceptable. He says the department carefully coordinates its resources. The woman collapsed last Thursday as she tried to cross at East 55th Street and Lexington Avenue. She injured her head and back.

Oops...my bad.

Shouldnt be hard to learn, you already blow a lot of hot air....

Another aspect to be investigated is the proliferation of profit driven helicopter services competing for calls and possibly taking more risky ones simply to get that dollar so they may survive to the next quarter. For example, the most recent crash in Huntsville was turned down by another service. The orginal crew attempted the flight and turned back due to clouds. The second service got the call and decided to go for it. Basically the hospital helicopter shopped, which is wrong. In the time that the first service attempted the flight, declined, and then the second service notified and attempted, the patient could have been transported by ground in a much safer, and less expensive arrangement. Yes, the patient was ill, but how critical was he if he could wait that long for a second service to pick him up when he could have been delivered in less that time by ground? Speaking of which, I am still looking to find out what the patient's final disposition was; did he eventually get to where he was going since the 2nd crew did not make it? How did he get there?

Yes, very cool shirt. She fills it out well, too bad you ruined the picture dude....

http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?sto...9&catid=339 DENVER – The man who faked his way into a job as a paramedic was entrusted with training fellow employees, according to co-workers. When questioned by 9NEWS, American Medical Response, AMR, admitted that one of its paramedics, Todd Teel, was caught in December 2007 with a forged license. He was not a certified paramedic during the 17 months he worked as one at AMR's Denver and Longmont divisions. A former co-worker, who rode in ambulances with Teel, said there were questions about his competence. The man, who asked not to be identified for fear of losing employment in the emergency medical services field, said he spoke out because he worries Teel embarrassed the profession. "This hurts our reputation and hurts our field to have someone going out there pretending to be a paramedic," he said. "The public trusts us." Teel's former partner said he had occasional doubts about his competence. "I wasn't impressed," he said. "But he was in charge of the car." The former AMR employee said Teel would sometimes be challenged on his medical knowledge by trainees who noticed his blunders. "When you're in the field, you get a feeling for who you (would) want if one of your family members was in need of an ambulance," the man said. "And the feeling a lot of people got from Todd Teel was you'd rather drive yourself if he showed up." Several former co-workers contacted 9NEWS following a report Thursday that Teel had been caught in Colorado and Wyoming trying to pass off forged paramedic credentials. Teel, 40, worked as a credentialed paramedic for Greenwood Village-based American Medical Response, AMR, from July 2006 until December 2007. The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, NREMT, said Teel forged a paper credential to indicate that he had received the required 1,200 hours, or two years, of training needed to be a paramedic. According to the Colorado Department of Health, paramedics are entrusted to administer dozens of drugs and perform the most advanced life-saving measures allowed in pre-hospital patient care. "The risk is tremendous in terms of the public's health, safety and welfare," said Randy Kuykendall, head of the state's Emergency Medical and Trauma Services Section. "If the provider is unable to appropriately assess when to use which tools, those can be very dangerous," he said. Kuykendall said AMR should have checked Teel's documentation against state or national records, both of which are available online and would have revealed the forgery. "The responsibility and the onus is really on the EMS agency to verify that the folks they're hiring really are who and what they say they are," Kuykendall said. NREMT recommends that all paper credentials are checked against the national database to avoid fraud. Teel was a certified emergency medical technician, or EMT, from 2004 to 2007. NREMT reports Teel was never a certified paramedic. Kuykendall stressed that the entry-level EMT certification requires far less medical knowledge than the paramedic certification, which is generally offered as a two-year degree program. "The gulf between the two in terms of skill, knowledge and critical thinking is definitely huge," he said. "They are clearly not equivalent to each other by any means." AMR issued a written statement to 9NEWS in response to a list of questions and a request for an interview. The statement said, in part, that Teel was promoted from EMT to paramedic when "he provided credentials to AMR stating that he had completed a nationally certified paramedic training course and had passed all required tests." AMR said Teel's doctored documents were discovered 17 months after he began work as a paramedic when he requested a transfer from the metro area to Longmont. A photo taken by a staff photographer for The Longmont Times-Call shows Teel working in Longmont in mid-December. "He was immediately placed on unpaid leave and was not allowed to work any further shifts," the statement read. "Teel terminated his employment with AMR shortly after being placed on leave." AMR reported its discovery to the state which confirmed Teel was not a certified paramedic. AMR also reported the situation to the Longmont Fire Department, which did not notify law enforcement. AMR wrote that it "enhanced its credentialing verification and tracking process to help assure that this issue does not reoccur." The company did not respond to a question asking if it had investigated whether Teel injured or killed a patient in his care. The company also did not answer a 9NEWS inquiry as to whether it would notify patients that had been cared for by Teel. AMR did not say what steps it took to verify Teel's credential and did not respond when asked approximately how many calls he responded to in his time as a paramedic. Colin Breese, an attorney who specializes in criminal law, said the situation presents a number of legal issues for Teel and AMR, especially if it's found that Teel harmed a patient. Breese also noted that a defense attorney could challenge results of a blood test based on a sample taken by Teel, say, for a drunk driving case. The Department of Health said is not illegal in Colorado to impersonate a paramedic. A representative of the Wyoming Department of Health told 9NEWS that Teel tried to pass off his forged credential there in February, after he was detected in Colorado. The document was flagged and Teel's attempt at employment was rejected. "We accept nothing at face value," said Bob Dean, Wyoming's senior EMS trainer." "When you have someone in an ambulance, that's one of the most vulnerable times of their lives." Teel, who is believed to be living out of state, did not respond to requests for comment.

Wow! Loyal sympathetic friends maybe? LOL They just did not want her to be ill by herself and/or get more attention than them. We all know how competetive females can be. Which reminds me, during each of the wife's pregnancies, I used to get sore nipples, swollen ankles and low back pain. Hmmmm...

LIE DETECTOR! John was a salesman's delight when it came to any kind of unusual gimmick. His wife Marsha had long ago given up trying to get him to change. One day John came home with another one of his unusual purchases. It was a robot that John claimed was actually a lie detector. It was about 5:30 that afternoon when Tommy, their 11 year old son, returned home from school. Tommy was over 2 hours late. 'Where have you been? Why are you over 2 hours late getting home?' asked John. 'Several of us went to the library to work on an extra credit project,' said Tommy. The robot then walked around the table and slapped Tommy, knocking him completely out of his chair. 'Son,' said John, 'this robot is a lie detector, now tell us where you really were after school.' 'We went to Bobby's house and watched a movie.' said Tommy. 'What did you watch?' asked Marsha. 'The Ten Commandments.' answered Tommy. The ro bot went around to Tommy and once again slapped him, knocking him off his chair once more. With his lip quivering, Tommy got up, sat down and said, 'I am sorry I lied. We really watched a tape called Sex Queen.' 'I am ashamed of you son,' said John. 'When I was your age, I never lied to my parents.' The robot then walked around to John and delivered a whack that nearly knocked him out of his chair. Marsha doubled over in laughter, almost in tears and said, 'Boy, did you ever ask for that one! You can't be too mad with Tommy. After all, he is your son!' With that the robot immediately walked around to Marsha and knocked her out of her chair.

I met an older woman at a club last night. This isn't usually my thing, but she was attractive enough for a 50-year-old. We had a few drinks, danced a little bit, and the next thing you know my hand was caressing her thigh and she was whispering dirty nothings in my ear. She asked me if I'd ever had a sportsman's double, a mother and daughter 3-some? I said no. We drank a bit more, then she says tonight was my lucky night. We went back to her place. She put the hall light on and shouted upstairs: "Mom, you still awake?"

My replies above in bold....AK For the record, I responded yesterday in depth, with really long, impressive replies. I was amazed I wrote some of the things I did as they seemed to be on a higher level which I never perceived myself capable of. Then I walked away before proof reading and submitting and my computer shut down and all was lost. Today I have made another attempt and know this response pales in comparison. Oh well, the original is always best. I do not perceive myself capable of holding this type of discussion on the same level as displayed by Michael but I sure as hell am going to try.

Great posts guys, nice keeping it civil. Tout...welcome and thank you for quality posts. Maybe try breaking up into paragraphs when you write these long ones...would make it easier for everyone to read and possibily find and understand your message more easily.
