Interesting....I actually know someone who experienced this. She was transporting a code patient without ALS L/S to the hospital (ALS wasn't available so they just load and go).

Being that it was a private ambulance (transport from a SNF) some local PD hates private services and stop....Not saying she was right or wrong, she called into dispatch to notify of LEO in pursuit, but simply continued on her way. She had told me that as soon as she pulled into the ER (staff was outside waiting to assist) she turned quickly and saw that the cop had turned off his lights and continued on his way.

From what her dispatcher said when he called the PD desk, was that it was becuase of a private service using L/S in his district and many there does not like it.

That wasn't the first time either, she was going lights and sirens about 2 min from a rendezvous point with ALS with a CVA pt on board, they pulled over for the LEO and the cop threw open the back doors just to make sure there was a patient on board and they weren't using lights frivously.

I recommend calling dispatch to let them know to contact the LEO's desk to find out the nature of the chase.

Too bad Scotty

Not bad, but the Ranger video still kicks ass!

Sooo.. we have started a bash the I don't like the bash threads...

It is all in good fun.. and in the funny area....

It is not that hard to overlook a line when you are looking at the posts since last visit....

Like other things on this site, and in life.... you don't have to read them.. just participate in the threads you like.

UGH!. I posted it like that so it would catch the attention of those in the "clique" in the area where the good majority of the threads are. True I dont have to read them and I haven;t. HOWEVER, seeing half of them on the scroll on the main page is just retarded.

I may not post a lot on these boards but I do read.

As I said, I understand it's all in good fun. But OVERKILL geez.

No I don't want one on me. I just find this whole thing retarded. Do you all need 10 threads bashing each other. I understand its all in good fun, but geez overkill is overkill.

Can we ease up on these bashing threads....It's a sick of seeing them fill up the scroll. :evil:

80% I have no problem going where the pt wants.

10% are drunks. They are going where the cops and crew decide.

5% are psychs. You got no choice there.

5% I ain't going into NYC, AC, PA, or any other hospital more than 10 miles away, outside of my county and neighboring, or out of state. DEAL with it. Call a private service to take you to Columbia Pres for your stubbed toe and watch your insurance kick it back.

Regarding treatment...I've had a few patients, retired RNs, retired paramedics, who were ACTUALLY AWESOME patients (and a few super know it alls asses who wanted us to do stuff that we were not capable of and call was not necessary for ALS). Had one once that I honestly froze up on scene from seeing the injury but the pt was calm and was cool and I just turned into a robot while doing what he told me to. Then I finally snapped out of it and we were laughing and joking all the way to the ER.

Write a letter to the person(s) who are currently causing you slight irritation, or grief right here, right now.

This is the place to let out the small annoyances, you might not find thread worthy.

Go!

I voted "Yes, but I usually go to the closest ED anyway." because most of the hospitals around here have cath labs already. The few that don't also are capable of stabalizing the patient for a CC truck to transfer. I know of 2 hospitals that transfer out but they also have trucks on standby the second they get a cardiac patient in if they need to be transferred to another facility.

YOU ARE 7% WHACKER!!!

NOT AN OUNCE OF WHACKER IN YOU. A LITTLE WHACKING IS FUN, TRY IT SOMETIME!!! BUY A BLUE LIGHT, OR PUT AN EMT STICKER ON YOUR CAR. YOU NEED MORE WHACKING IN YOUR LIFE.

Regarding scanners....I have my squad pager and when it's either set off by our tones, or put on open air, I can hear ALS dispatching since we are on the same frequency. I counted that as a scanner since I like to listen to what's going on in my city because my officers tend to come to me and ask questions about things and I listen to make sure our crews don't get too retarded on the air.

Oh and sometimes I do wear my uniform out....usually when I'm on duty that night, or I go to sit in on city council meetings.

Without those two options, I am...

YOU ARE 0% WHACKER!!!

Edit to Add: I do also have a very makeshift first aid kit in my car....mostly 5x9, 4x4, sterile water, peroxide, and bandaids galore. I can't even begin to say how often I've used it.

Every year in January my agency has a dinner paid by the city where we do awards for silly stuff like Darwin's Awards, the Coverage King (one of our members covered like 2 shifts a week on top of his primary for almost the whole year), we had a member that was in the hospital for more times than we can count for anaphylaxis (latex allergies, was in hospital for transport pickup and they were using latex paint and neglected to make notices). We give out the serious awards too. certificates and pins for members that served 5 years, CPRs, we rarely get child births as we have too many hospitals too close, we usually get there just in time for the ER to take credit for the bundle of joy.

But through out the year we do a variety of stuff.... Last year we went horseback riding, every august we hold a Luau (sp?) for members as a combo party/member drive. Our carwash is mostly a wash for us....we eat and drink the earnings away the same day

I tried planning a theme park trip for this summer but we have a few who like killing the joy. So i scrapped it and cancelled it. Phuck them all.
