Trauma: Episode18 (Season Finale)

I've not only been on a date to a shooting range, I've had a romantic picnic on the back of a tank and a couples weekend playing rather intense paintball. Army girls have a different sense of fun and "appropriate".

True... CO is a gun friendly state... I did have one guy in MD though try and get my number at the gun range... he seemed to like my shooting...although that probably should have scared a sane guy away since I have a funny way of shooting the body targets

OK, I yield that military personnel, and recently inactivated ones, too, might have a different perspective on the issue.

I have a funny way of shooting the body targets

I have a feeling that the old video of Ed Ames on the Johnny Carson "Tonight Show" might be referenced here.

O_o that I have to see

Scoobykate's area of the target might be where this video ends up...

My mention of inactive military personnel is that there are no "Former" Marines. I had a very loud discussion on that one, years ago.

Well first I would shoot at the kidneys. then the lower intestinal area, then take out the throat then the face and heart...

Having knowledge of anatomy helps I figure I could disable someone with a shot to the abdomen, and then if I really needed to kill them throat, face and heart are next...logical I think?

Ya know I never thought about it like that. I've always just figured I'll shoot ya till you stop coming towards me. And my CCW instructor in NM hammered that into us as well

I finally found that elusive round tuit.

I have really come to like Rabbit finally, but dammit, I wish he’d stay away from the bimbo. He can do better.

Technical troubles my arse. Technical troubles wouldn't cause those kinds of problems.

Rabbit says they need to load and go with the ATV kid, yet he’s dicking around on-scene with 16 ga IVs?

Bringing the friend along on the helo?

Yeah… how do you “cover” for a missing pilot at a one-bird operation?

I guarantee Tyler would be sacked in any metro system in the US for his radio antics. Not even mildly amusing.

Everyone in that Laundromat was a male. That’s unusual.

The sand bottle collection was pretty cool. You know that had to come from a real story. Thailand, Cambodia... Hell, I’ve been to all those places, and I don’t have a grain of sand to show for it.

Bimbo getting emotional over a patient again. I hope this signals she’s nearing terminal burnout. She really needs to go.

I’m still amazed how the crews just let the hospital personnel walk away with their cot all the time. Does anyone here really do this??

ROFL@ Rabbit’s Spanish diatribe on Marisa! He was thinking the same thing I was! She must be awesome in the sack!

Hehe@ second best way to work up an appetite! For the first best way, refer to the previous listing above.

His & Her’s H&K USPs! Nice choice! And yes, I’ve taken more than one date to the range! Even bought a certain fiancee' a Glock for an engagement present.

Casey says they put him "on a .50 caliber on an APC". No Iraq or Afghan vet would refer to either of them with that terminology. Never even saw an APC with an M2 in Iraq.

I really hope they’re not going to give us some deep bullshyte about PTSD with Casey's character. Enough already.

I kinda hope the bimbo calls back the guy from the restaurant, but he seems like too nice a guy to wish that on.

Everyone in that department wears a different style of jacket. What’s up with that?

Motorola must not have paid for promotional consideration, because their logo gets blacked out on everything.

David Clark logos aren't blacked out on the headsets, so they must have shelled out the dough.

When they use the hand mic to talk to dispatch in the ambulance, it’s the siren/PA mic, not a radio mic.

A-holes standing around outside, arguing with dispatch over the second unit, while making no attempt at patient contact. FAIL!

There was a cop car outside the welding shop, but no cop seen on the scene. Where was he?

And where the Hell is FD? A patient on fire for once, and FD doesn’t show up?

How the Hell did the burn patient end up with a Tension Pneumo?

Even when the “system” isn’t screwed up, calls still get rampantly mistriaged, so no surprises here.

Any real dispatch supervisor would have either hit Tyler or had him escorted out by police.

It is good that they showed dispatch is no piece of cake though.

Drunken panhandler is lucky he wasn’t shot. I don't see any problem with Casey's response.

I’m still curious if anyone here works in a large EMS system where they really fraternise (i.e. drinking together) this much off duty.

I gotta admit, I didn’t figure out the surprise party thing until the last minute!

Ha, bimbo kissed the gay dude! I saw that coming from a mile away.

Hopefully Rabbit takes that as the sign he should and dumps her arse.

Ironic that the bimbo worries so much about Rabbit, and Rabbit worries so much about Casey, yet the imbo is the one who needs a shrink.

The dedication at the end makes me worry that this will not be back next season.

If it does come back, I figure Rabbit will find the card that bimbo got from the guy at the restaurant, further complicating what he saw with her and Glen.

Going back to the "Taking a date to the shooting range" question:

On the "CSI:Crime Scene Investigation" (CSI Las Vegas) show, they had a sequence with a man who was shot up with at least 100 rounds, assorted ammo's and weapons fired. Turned out the guy, a fugitive, had wandered into a private land "range", where they had all sorts of automatic weapons, including belt fed 50 cals, and what I think was a 1914 vintage French made, water cooled barrel Maxim, to "light up" the derelict van where the fugitive was trying to sleep. The shooters really had no idea he was there. Several of the shooters with obvious significant others, who were also armed, or using the rented firepower, could have been on dates.

So, I'll leave it as going to a firing range for a date is a foreign concept to me, as I am from New York City.
