  1. Yeah i thought RoC PRIMED had to cut the study on ITD short because it was doing so bad. So an unproven and a toilet plunger are supposed to improve outcomes?
  2. Unless you make it an issue, its not an issue
  3. We use flightsuits for our special operations crews. Since they respond off duty, its easier to have everyone issued a jumpsuit and we look professional. If we have time then we can change into our regular uniform we carry in our deployment bag
  4. I understand that the theory is LLR reduced pressure on the IVC, but would that shift all the weight onto the aortic arch and descending aorta? or are they assuming the pressure of the heart pumping is enough to overcome this?
  5. Dont flatter yourself, if you are that close to NJ and have to cross water, you arent in a garden spot of NY State 2 pens Notepad ID Cell phone Glove pouch SOG Powerlock with bit kit Benchmade 8Med Rescue hook 2 Sharpies Radio in a radio strap
  6. 2 Im with this guy, compassion codes are crap, i feel this may be unethical to work that code if they are obviously dead
  7. My argument isnt for carte blanche sale and trade of firearms. That is unreasonable and irresponsible. My argument is that the laws that currently exist are sufficient but require enforcement and require mandatory reporting of psych records as we have with criminal records If by your admission, the current laws arent being enforced, how will passing new laws change that? Without having a cop in every bedroom, parking lot, bathroom and rest stop? How do you regulate sales between private individuals without registering every single firearm? Which is logistically and practically impossible
  8. Blatantly illegal ATF Title 27 § 478.30 Out-of-State disposition of firearms by nonlicensees. No nonlicensee shall transfer, sell, trade, give, transport, or deliver any firearm to any other nonlicensee, who the transferor knows or has reasonable cause to believe does not reside in (or if the person is a corporation or other business entity, does not maintain a place of business in) the State in which the transferor resides Only way it can be done is through an FFL, which would require a NICS check An FFL must complete a NICS check if they are selling a firearm. The gunshows i go to, eastern PA, require vendors to have a FFL or they wont give them space and this in the norm in this area. There are guys who are selling one gun, but these guys are not renting table space to sell a single rifle, unless its a Class 3 item. The guys who a renting tables are either in the business of selling guns or ammo, military surplus, reloading supplies, and beef jerky. I was at Oaks, PA a few weeks back and it is the largest gun show in the area, 1000 tables. Every one of them required an NICS check and advertised this clearly. How do you enforce background checks between private individuals? How do you regulate any commerce between two private individuals? Sales of cars, guns, potatoes ect. Its physically impossible to regulate that unless you require registration of every firearm also logistically impossible. If it occurs intrastate some would say its unconstitutional for the federal government to attempt to regulate intrastate commerce. And i will say, even when background checks occur, only a tiny fraction of states report mental health records to NICS. NJ does an internal check, so if you have been in the NJ mental health system it would come up, but otherwise there is no record. Either states dont keep this info or they dont report it, both of which are unacceptable but would thin out the applicant pool. And as previously noted, face to face transactions can only occur between residents of the same state
  9. despite you owning firearms, you clearly have no knowledge of firearms law Any sale of firearms that occurs across state line must go through an FFL, a persons with a license from the ATF to sell firearms. Before the FFL can release the fireamr to the buy they must conduct a background check The gun show loophole is a lie. 99.99999% of sellers at a gunshow are businesses. These people must conduct a background check before they can sell their inventory to a buyer. They also must record who they sold it to and keep a log of all their inventory that can be reviewed by the ATF at any time. Can a private individual sell a firearm to another in a face to face transaction? Yes, but this is rare at a gunshow. Hundreds of people, some get thousands attending, and maybe 1 or 2 will have a private sale. SCOTUS has established that the militia is any able-bodied male aged 18-45 SCOTUS has established that individuals have the right to own a firearm "in common use" Someone mentioned suppressors being easily availible...patently false. The ATF regulates the possesion of suppressors. You must apply to own one which involves an extensive background check and a $200 stamp of approval. They are regulated items under the National Firearms Act, the same that regulates ownership of automatic weapons and other destructive devices This is why i find it difficult to have reasonable debates with liberals and Democrats and other anti-gun owners. If you do not have a knowledge of the law as it currently exists, how can you speak authoritatively about the topic? Many have no idea about what the NFA says. Many have no idead what the AWB did (ban cosmetic features, no impact on functionality). This makes it difficult to have a discussion when you are operating on different levels of knowledge
  10. Depending on how you view the history of EMS, combat medics were administering reconstituted human plasma and whole blood units in the field during WWII This is the website for the US Army's Office of Medical History, and has a section on both WBU and Plasma administration in a combat setting http://history.amedd.army.mil/booksdocs/wwii/blood/DEFAULT.htm
  11. Ummm...move I work in nice stations, showers beds couches flat screen tv's Xbox computers I make $18hrs as a basic and most companies around me pay 11-15 Medics are paid 20-40 depending on where they are. More in the city Sounds like an Arizona problem. But our fire dept only does fire suppression, EMS does everything else
  12. Penetrating trauma to Head, Neck, Torso "SMR should be CONSIDERED when the patient displays such fidnings as numbness, tingling, and loss of motor or sensory function or actual LOC. However, if the patient with penetrating injury have no neurological complaints, seconday mechanism of injury, or findings, the spine does not need to be immobilized (although the backboard may still be used for lifting and transport purposes)" Basically taken verbatim from the PHTLS book, natch
  13. Bamboozle just came through NJ, a three day concert event on the shore. this was their apparatus for the weekend May 18, 2012: One BLS Unit 1 Staging Unit 4 Medical ATVs One ALS Unit 1 Logistical Support truck to establish field hosptial NIMS Type 1 MCRU (suppies for 100 patints each) 1 Physicians Medical Ambulance Bus (Can transport up to 30 patients) May 19, 2012: 4 BLS Unit 1 Staging Unit 4 Medical ATVs One ALS Unit 1 Logistical Support truck to establish field hosptial NIMS Type 1 MCRU (suppies for 100 patints each) 1 Physicians Medical Ambulance Bus (Can transport up to 30 patients) May 20, 2012: 3 BLS Unit 1 Staging Unit 4 Medical ATVs One ALS Unit 1 Logistical Support truck to establish field hosptial NIMS Type 1 MCRU (suppies for 100 patints each) 1 Physicians Medical Ambulance Bus (Can transport up to 30 patients) As well as approx 30-40 EMTs, a dozen Medics staffing a 20 bed field hospital and three 6 bed foreward medical tents
  14. Honestly, if you need something double sided then you should go with dogtags. If they are stamped you can have two tags, or if they are engraved you can do both sides
  15. Every call gets the jump bag, a Meret Omni Pro, which has: O2 cylinder, opa, npa, nrb, nc, and wound care supplies, some oral glucose, shears, penlights, bp cuff and steth. Arrests we bring in the AED and Suction, CPR in progress gets a LSB. I think our bag is too big for what we bring, but i dont have final say in the bag we use. As long as the current one works, we will continue to use it. But im trying to get us to go to a smaller Meret bag
