What is the most common call out in your area?

[spenac]

Don't you dare, spenac! I work with a medic, and in his words, "Delivery is a BLS skill." That's fine, because its a short haul to a any hospital in town, and we would more than likely be at a hospital before the patient delivered. However, since we're a private service, we get the high risk pregnancies going from outlying hospitals to high risk wards. I do NOT want to deliver a 27 weeker! (Had that two days ago)

Spen, if you just jinxed me, I will come haunt you. :twisted:

Notice I said "healthy". Premies are no fun. Have fun sliding around in the slime. Just wanting to share the joy of child birth. :twisted:

Why do I get the feeling that just talking about it is gonna make me have a delivery in the next week? :? Note to self: call off sick.

In my very rural area that I work... for the HEMS crews: we get requested on MORE motorcylce mva's and ATV's..... Cause in the GREAT state of Arkansas they do not have a Helmet law.....

Then in Oklahoma......Mva and Cardiac....Cva, they run neck and neck.
