  1. We've got the Stryker stair chairs with the tank treads. Can I just say that this device is one of the greatest inventions ever? I won't go back to using the old ones. Fortunately, all the places I work have the new ones so I've got that covered.

    My current FT employer doesn't do much by way of keeping their employees happy...but they did an awful lot by listening to us and agreeing to buy this chair.

    -be safe.

    Hmm, what do you do in tight stair wells or spiral stairs?

    That stair WILL NOT FIT in a lot of houses in my city. We still keep the old Ferno stair chair on board.

    Lord help us, some of our stretchers are still two man. A few calls with the two man, and you can skip your work out for the evening. They are awfully good for getting someone off the ground though. They go down very low, and its then only one step from being in a squatting position to getting them in the ambulance. Then again, I need a permit for these GUNS of mine, so its like no problem. :wink:

    My city updated our rigs for 1 1/2 mans however we still have a rig and spare stretchers that are 2 mans.

    My issues are with people who have no clue about what to do. What happens when the release at the feet jams? You need to use the side release and I've worked with people who do not know what to do from the sides at all whatsoever.

  2. I got dispatched to an elderly lady at home with elevated temp and shortness of breath...She flat out refused transport (her family called 911)...

    My partner and I explained that as long as she is oriented and of sound mind we cannot force her to go, even though she really needed to...Amongst the questions he asked was "Who is the current president?" She said Bush... okay... "which one?" She turned to look at us and said "Does it fukking matter??" but she knewit twas the son. But she was right on ball with all the questions and we asked a lot and repeated a few.

    :lol:

  3. My volunteer corps has Captain, 1st and 2nd Lts. as far as command of crews and procedures on the road. Then we have president, vp, treasurer, & secretary for the building and administrative side.

    On scene, its our corps officers that take command unless we are involved with other orginzations like FD where we each keep to our respected areas and check in with one another. With ALS, they pretty much command pt care but our officers are still there because lately we been on the outs with a few als units.
