Agreed Mike, myself as well.

1- Depends where your Flying .. not everyone works on your continent Mike. 2- And yes Mike #2 point does tell you a bit, best advice don't ask about that organization ... seriously not a fan myself. Sure would like some of the other very kool kit that "washed_up" owns personally , but NOT for sale on any website's .. bhwaa haa ha nuff said.

CORRECTION ET ALL ... this is a personal friend of mine a true pro been Fken ALL over .. I will personally vouch .. I have his Pulse Ox, and L Scope .. plus other "kit". I call dibs on the Welch Allyn pocket otoscope and opthalmoscope, with carry case and specula, $200.. Same addy .. LOL haven moved yet same interact on line bro, will not be back till 22 on a deployment and sporadic internet. We are loosing one of the best damn It .. cant judge a book by a single post, might want to listen to this man, just sayin (in fact that just sayin I FIRST heard from him many many years ago. Gibbs Rule # 51 Sometimes your wrong ...

Ahem but you have to make a "proper" amendment to get that in the list of rules ... I like it.

Ok so what altitude asl are you located at ?

Well that blows my opportunity at a post on polycythaemia, or anemias that can lead too what we see in the 12 lead, or the real definition of cyanosis, or ventilatory vs respiratory failure, or the use of CPAP. yeah thanks mobey ! LOL

I found this entire thread rather amusing, very atypically stayed out of this on,e placing it under "it amuses me category" well until I saw the extra stupid post, them's fighting words LOL. Could it be that over the years the posts and the links in delivery of oxygen, the in-depth posts by some of the "old" <just coughed a big loogie type respiratory terrorists> the research presented by the ones that are "incompetent" and not to forget "incontinent" and have "ED issues with gay porn" have perhaps altered some of the through processes of those youngish farts on this topic, ok well some it appear's a light came on. Most seriously when I started as an RRT I had a wheeled cart to push the pulse ox around on, or go change a transcutaneous P02 probe to a new site to prevent burns <insert a weak feeble laugh> from pushing that cart . Now they fit in me damn pocket and so small without my spectacles on that I loose them, needing a lanyard around my neck so it doest get lost in my rolls of phat.. But this is where I differ in opinion, these are extremely valuable tools, the blinky coloured LED light thing, the pulse number and that other number are far more in depth that what most bedside practioneners in EMS actually understand or what its telling them ! This as the understanding of "content and capacity" light contamination, recognition of blood dyscrasias, or motion artifact, flash through some of my slowed but still semi active synapses . Rarely are the numbers misleading, the recognition that they are accurate readings from some of the posts is again rather hilarious from where I sit in my rocking chair gazing empty minded out the window . Fact of the matter is we do treat the machines .. for example if you do not have a monitor at a code just what drug does one use ? Do a pulse check or a stethoscope for an anti arrhythmic or TNK ? ..... bah LMFAO. We give blood based on machines ? We use antibiotics based on machines ? We do ventilator changes based on machines ? We place in stents based on machines ? Its only in EMS where this old "Myth" of treat the patient not the machine still has its throwback to the dark ages. cheers

Speaking more in general a drive through lower main land in BC and you will see what I mean, if we are going to make a law (btw like we need more sheesh) then we are bound by the courts to abide by it, as all good Canadian citizens er Borg. Beautiful Girl in that link btw.

And all the young ones are competent and motivated ... omg you have so many stereotypical opinions you should be in the Guinness book of world records .

Interesting comment. Not in the slightest in my opinion, in fact in a Canadian Legion or CAF mess I am not permitted to wear a cover, what a hulaballoo over that issue. I had to wear a tie years ago working in EMS on the streets and that was retarded too. If you wish, lets make this a safety issue can one put on a ballistic helmet over a Turban, why are "Turban wearers" (sorry best I could come up with short notice) be exempt from helmet laws riding bicycles or driving motor cycles or how about wearing a helmet skiing, should if they become a head injury be covered by Health Care Insurance ? In many Industrial sites I am forced by policy to be clean shaven because of proper mask fitting and H2S but because of my lack of religion I have to shave but other groups have concessions in place to have a beard ? What is fair about that ? Being treated equally is where I take issue if its really my choice in Canada to have facial hair then why can not have my rights enforced as well ? Just for fun ask the Human Rights commission about that ? Just whom are you asking ? I gave you a positive rep .. not that's this is a really good question but I like seeing round numbers like 200 I think the tourism industry in Afghanistan has taken a bit of a hit for a few years since the Russians visited. cheers

EPIC FAIL on all levels. http://scholar.google.ca/scholar?q=studies+pulse+oximetry+vs+clinical+recognition+of+cyanosis&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart

Hows it going eh, whas with that on the rooof, pass dah beers and back bacon eh, a boot what time should I pick up ? An where yah too, ma .. I'll come to where urine at, lord thunderin jesus dah weather blows tday, wers u rubbers ma. OMG a gay accent that is hilarious .. I know 2 Gay FF that would kick the crap out of you for that, did I mention they were GAY ?

I guess you missed the oppression part of women are required to wear a mask in public and the fact that walking on board an aircraft or a bank or swearing an oath of allegiance to a country that is allowing them to become naturalized citizens is a bit in the face of equality for the rest of "We the Borg" or a matter of national security ... Never been to a Muslim country have you now flaming, I just wonder what right's you would have as a self professed practicing homosexual I bet you have never stepped foot off the North American soil I wager. By the way why don't you come to Canada if your so persecuted I would actually enjoy going to your wedding .. we do that here no problems. cheers

chbare: I do not understand your comment as I have never taken an anthropology course. What I am trying to say before the troll baited me is that this multiculturalism experiment is not only going to fail but will cause bloodshed, many second and third generation folks that I deal with daily are just fed up. My children are so indoctrinated by the school system here now to "tolerate" every other group and bow down to everyone else's "religion" or "cultural beliefs" they have lost their own identity. The racial gangs that hang together are not respected they are feared with over 28 identifiable gangs in Edmonton Alberta where they live. They literally get away with murder and mental terrorism, the Somalis, the Lebanese especially predominant, oddly enough from primarily Muslim cultures. The "inequalities" as we observed in many countries that cause civil war's and attempts at genocide. I believe all can be directly attributed to these stupid books that some follow so blindly and are throwbacks to thousands of years ago. Do you actually believe that Man has climbed up the evolutionary rungs of the ladder high enough for this social experiment to work ? Then when my political leaders actually stand up to this "group" they throw our beliefs of tolerance and open armed welcome in our faces .. no pun intended. The best situational ironic event is that Craig (my OZ mate) well his government and military drove off a ship of known affiliation with the Tamil Tigers just guess where that ship showed up yes Vancouver British Columbia the welcoming committee cost 5 million dollars and check these link's. Canada is very rapidly becoming a haven for terrorist groups to operate with impunity, and we cant tell if its a man or a women under those garments . http://www.torontosun.com/news/canada/2011/03/09/17556886.html http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2009/11/03/bc-tamil-migrants-gunaratna.html

Exactly carry on Crap Magnet you make me proud of what we do in EMS.

Are these the images of equality, acceptance OR oppression of Women ? This is a the image of the man I support .

You are so easy to shred its pitiful really, is your Shift button broken ? But thanks for playing Mr. NOT representative of the typical OZ perspective in immigration regulations,? Therefore you accept that the Niqabs being permitted in OZ when swearing in ceremonies is accepted practice for immigration status as a naturalized Australian ? BTW .. Did you ask your esteemed MD's the question yet or are you a infidel coward ? Could I ask you straight up, just how is what is happening in Canada and how this affects you ? Please, have I in over 2800 posts have I made on EMT City, any judgment concerning your backward country on your unions, your militant EMS system in your territories, your off shore in the oil-patch drilling ships, your jack ups, your siesmic ofshore and in worldwide news daily of your whining, your education background, or seriously limited scope of practice ? Does the term piss off tosser, mean anything to you ? Whatever mate your barking up the wrong bretylium tosylate tree, or are you still pissed aboot that ? ps please note the stereotypical spelling error .

Ok smart guy .. you have clearly NEVER read the Qu'ran .. so ask these Doctors one thing for me. Do they consider YOU an infidel ? I double dog dare you to ask them. Read all of this in it entirety and tell me if I am being mislead or perhaps you are ? Is that a possibility ? http://www.letusreason.org/islam12.htm For just me I respect what built this country of mine, the Christians, Jews, the Chinese Japanese and the FN (of which I am not a participant) now I am supposed to open my arms to those that do not "like how they are treated here" this because of my belief's against female oppression based on religion is wrong, why, because they are not worthy or beautiful enough to shine in the light of day ... get off your ideological tolerance kangaroo mate, your embarrassing yourself. I stand firmly behind my democratically elected official to oppose this sort of demanding bullshit, if don't like Canada or its rules and respect those that built it, go back to where you came from .. very simple.

What tells me a lot with this senario is loading with Bug Juice and Roids .. again its a shotgun approach to medicine not an internist's sniper rifle . cheers

It's a Braw, Bricht, Moonlicht Nicht the Nicht ! Do you think for one second a Muslim would understand nor even wish to understand the multi cultural heritage that I come from and that we drink scotch to excess ? cheers

Oh no you didn't. Please see PCO2. lol I will get right on that, but was that PaC02 ? PvC02, ETC02 just to clarify ? Blood labs are normal except a venous PC02 of 82 .. What no venous PH ? Ooops... forgot, good thing someone asked 7.21 And you forgot to mention Insulin, hyperkalemia, any other meds you forgot to mention or labs CBC, HGB ?? ...and what's urine output like ? It should be in the chart under Ins and Outs . I think chbare may be interjecting rather soon but your not getting any mercy from this Pirate now !

Well back to watching my movie Braveheart about Robert the Bruce (roll your tongue when you say that) a distant relative of mine that fought and died to stop the British oppression of the Scots . Manu Forti

Update from Chopper Copper: I am truly honoured by this, Rob loved flying in fling wings .
