Remember Columbus is the home of National Registry!!!

Her Butt, Her Face---what's the difference?

Ammonia inhalants are a wonderful tool if used to the proper effect. If the feds (or a state entity) wanted to whack a whacker, they could easily by just the possession of the sterile water (Prescription Required!) WTF-O Does he have a fully strobed, light bar equipped response vehicle as well----just in case? Sure we could all pitch in and get him a Que to 'fully outfit' the set up This is what I missed after being away from the fray for almost a year!

So then I MUST reply with Skynyrd "Sweet Home Alabama" Where the Sky's so Blue!

For today its "Everything about you" by Ugly Kid Joe.... I get Sick to be around, I can't stand to hang around, I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT......you!........

"IF" by Bread....Simply Fly Away!

Edukacation sucks....or at least those in Cleveland OH who got the misspelled diplomas said so. 200 hours is like taking basic again! GEEZ! Last time I totaled up the number of hours I had in a two year period for the recert to National Registry and the state---it came to 400 hours....hmmmm... (BTW...I also "Volunteer" and work two full time jobs?!) Stop the griping and learn to use grammar to its (at least readable) ability! Its not just skills...you have to know what the hell you are doing and why you are doing it!!!

We are part time--doing both Fire and EMS. We operate 3 ALS units 24/7 with a Full time Day Crew and On Call Night crews. Works Well---but then again, this is a small southern town--not a 1000+sq mi. enterprise. We Bill and get paid (sometimes--although better than the local hospital!) ---so it can work. Local population voted for and approved a $100 per household 'emergency response fee' paid annually to cover---that helps in the transition to full time---but it will stay part time for the foreseeable future. Benefits are a killer to pay for....take it from a business owner's perspective!

Thanks for the excellent details. We just got a "were not gonna let you carry it anymore" and that was that. (I have only administered it twice in 5 years from looking back at records) Oh, well---not like we really see that much Narrow Complex Tach's either....mostly diabetics and drunks here in Dixie.

We are currently doing the assessments for the SAVER program (DHS sponsored looking at First Responders...the major makes are represented) It has the tech notes associated....and the user results are forthcoming. You can view the results at https://www.dhs-saver.info/Default.aspx under the medical matrix. Could be helpful in making a decision.

Just like I said..get a $20,000 Geezer Squeezer (AutoPulse) and you don't have to worry about compressions.... Then the door thing really does not matter any more.... Unless like the night before last when the charge nurse barges in and tells us to take that damn thing off the pt. and do proper compressions....hmmm.. (Oh, and we still waited outside the door for 1:30 while the receptionist came back from a potty break) :) Sorry....I forgot about the "sharks with friggin lazer beams man trap" I just want to hire Bambi and Thumper (Diamonds are forever) for my security detail (The old geezers SHOULD remember that one.....)

at least we got good use out of our geezer squeezer---man that thing is cool.... Sure beats the crap out of the old thumper. Anyways....you can pick up worse stuff from shaking hands (if you have a moment, research Robert D. Raiford on the John Boy and Billy Big Show---he is the most ANTI hand shaking person in the world) This is one of those issues I want to apply common sense (if there is any) engineering to---we need a system to allow 'permitted' entities to enter and leave at will from the ED area, while denying unauthorized personnel access. I propose a segmented land mine man trap with double strung barbed razor wire and body heat detecting anti personnel missles with patrolling robotic killing dogs.... Works almost as well as having the big red button on the wall going to the reception desk 2 buildings away.....

my new favorite one is the bright shiny red button (read panic button) on the outside door of the newest remodeled ED. Cool thing is you smack it with the elbow---and it automatically calls the receptionist in the other wing of the hospital (about 1/2 mile away) We stood there the other night for about 5 minutes (no kidding) working a code waiting for a door check! One of the guys kept saying 'dominoes pizza' which probably didn't help much either.... Pads are nasty---perimeter badges are cooler----why not have a direct access PERSON to let you in?! makes sense to me! .02
