I suddenly re love my job again lol. Thanks for the post it made all of us laugh.

I had one patient that was kicked in her head during a soccer tournament. On arrival patient could not move fingers. After some time in the hospital the paralysis did go away. I think it was spinal shock. Um yes it was immediately obvious because she was telling us she couldn't feel them. When we asked her to move them she said she was but nothing was going on. Fair amount of pain in the head and she was fairly anxious. There was no visible injuries except for the lump on her head. x-rays showed nothing wrong with the neck so I suspect it to be spinal shock? Am I wrong, was it something else?

:roll:

Um.. no, he just said he didn't like them, he had bought some from some prive contracting.

Going back to what Dust said about CISD, I do agree that they can be non benifitial. I guess I was just speaking on my own experience with them, they seemed to help. But the most helpful is talking to other EMS, and venting. Thank you for correcting me yet again Dust.

](*,) Thanks Dust. I ment government...

So true. Calling 9-11 for something that is clearly not an emergency is just silly. If you can't handle your 12 year old daughter well that's your problem. Not ours... I honestly couldn't help but laugh when I heard dispatch say that.

Went to a nursing home to pick up a p/t for a transport to the hospital for a pacemaker appointment. We get inside and after looking around for a while we find out that the patient passed away the night before due to a cardiac problem. We let dispatch know, "XXX Alpha to Dispatch" "Dispatch go ahead XXX Alpha" "XXX Alpha, yeah our patient is dead..." "-confused voice- Your patient is dead for their pacemaker appointment?" Doesn't sound to funny, it was more one of those things you would of had to been there to hear the conversation. It was a joke around the station for days.

Seeing as how this was posted in September, I'm sure you have already made a choice, but from what I have heard do not buy them but thats only from what I have heard by word of mouth. So if you Did buy them maybe you could let me know how they are working out for you? Thanks!

Can you explain more? Maybe it's just me and this long day but I'm not 100% sure what you mean. Sorry.

HAHA! I love it. Where can you get one?

Maybe spend less on guns and more on health care? I dunno, just throwing that one out there.. Be nice.

One evening a family brings their frail, elderly mother to a nursing home and leaves her as planned, hoping she will be well cared for. The next morning, the nurses bathe her, feed her a tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden. She seems OK, but after a while she slowly starts to lean over sideways in her chair. Two attentive nurses immediately rush up to catch her and straighten her up. Again she seems OK, but after a while she starts to tilt to the other side. The nurses rush back and once more bring her back upright. This goes on all morning. Later the family arrives to see how the old woman is adjusting to her new home. "So Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?" they ask. "It's pretty nice," she replies. "Except they won't let me fart." :roll: lol

Can I get an Amen?

"Do you want us to come out there and shoot her?" :shock: Lol! I've heard that one on the internet before. I'm not to sure what I would do if something like that happened to me
