  1. We use the power pro stretchers and they are darn useful but my concern with this system was noted earlier by some one else (forgot to quote it) are we just encouraging poor conditioning in the field by adding all of these lift assists devices what is going to happen if some one is poorly conditioned and has to make a bad lift across a bed or something to that effect.

  2. This most recent article brings up a couple of questions. First off, In CA the nurses both of them could turn around and accuse all of the prosecuting parties of libel which in CA is I believe a felony so that they would have to go through the same things that the nurses went through, and I would presume that the nurses would have a fair shot at winning the case against them if judged by 12 rather than shot by 1

  3. And just what are you implying by that? I assume everyone here has 20/20 (normal) or 20/15 (fighter pilot) vision, and I would assume Kiwi will not take kindly to you referring to him/her/it as "blind" so please clarify.

    As for myself, I have no problem referring to myself as a half-blind ambulance driver, as in the best case, that is exactly what I will be. It will be an accurate description.

    I am not one hundred percent sure what kiwi's vision is but I do know that it is not 20/20 and if Ben and I were not decent friends I would not harass him about it as for my self I am not afraid to call my self blind or half blind because with out my glasses that is exactly what I am.

  4. CDL Requires 20/40 in both eyes ben is correct in that statement I do not know if there is a waiver for monocular vision or not.

    Now also you must understand that part of working in the ems field is perceiving what is around you so if your depth perception is not functioning properly well then you might have a tough time of it but it seems like you have found little ways of getting around these problems....but remember one thing if blind people like kiwi and myself can get into ems then chances are you can as well..

  5. A texas Nurse was charged with misuse of official information while blowing the whistle on a "bad doc". I know in CA that there are laws to protect whistle blower. However I do not know what kind of laws there are in other states... So lets get a rip roarin discussion going on this and see what we can hash out for thoughts on this....

  6. Well we need to make sure we don't go needin 911 help in georgia LoneStar is now an official emt....hopefully he killed enough in the classroom he wont kill em in the streets.....congrats lone and welcome back to the land of real medicine.

  7. I took all seven of the puns in this thread and added 3 more, and sent them to a buddy of mine to brighten his day. He called me and let me know that they failed to to elicit a smile from him.

    Since I sent out 10 'one liners' to make him laugh, it's safe to say that

    NO PUN IN TEN DID

  8. I just had to make a short one hour flight....It took me an hour and a half to get through security and then I had to wait 2 hours in the terminal due to the plane having to be swept because some passenger checked baggage at the previous stop did not make it on the plane....

    anyway I am rambling off topic:

    While going through security I had a set of earbud headphones that were not that great I paid 50 cents at the dollar store for them but they looked like nice bose headphones well someone wanted them and I was told they were on the do not fly list well at this point I thought I did not have time to argue with him about it...so just be aware dont take anything you really want that is little like that through the security screening...
