When my old service swapped out there old Ford type 1's we got sprinter type 2's and they have full LED packages. They are great we even had our scene lights as LED's the cool white ones not the warm white of incandescent and they work they are very visible to oncoming traffic or people the only major draw back at least in my area is they tend to reel the drunks in a little bit.

Oh Retread.... One of my most fond memories of Retread or Retired as I called him....I was in Mexico on my tour and I was sicker than a dog I mean it hurt to even think let alone laugh well retread came in and he was havin one of those flu's that did that to ya well....he started tellin a joke and before long we were both laughin so hard we couldt breath it hurt so bad and it was so bad that my host family came up to check on me and see if I was ok. Well I finally got over that and he got over his flu but no matter what we always shared a bond from that. We spoke of that time often and would always get a kick out of it. Retread I know your drivin that big caddylance in the sky but I hope oyu will always remember the joy that you brought us....

Lone you would know you have been around since before party lines. Heck you might even remember the number of Adams ribs in Chicago being Dearborn-57500

Yeah what siff said...sorry had just woke up after working a concert till three am...uggh should not post while half asleep...

Well I just read about our third one....Actor Dennis Cooper has died as well....Art, Gary, Dennis

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.

Awww poor Dwayne I was hoping to see some great pictures.

Happy Birthday Richard B

We always new you were a smart ass but I guess this proves it......

This is a great idea Dwayne I wish there had been something like this back when I was newer. I am still new and there is great advice in your post.

annie realisticly this case has drawn some national attention in the medical world so would any place in the US hire her even....She might not be able to find gainful employment anywhere for quite a while.

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

Well I am very happy for the nurse but has the damage already been done with respect to the potential whistleblowers now being afraid of retribution and she has already lost her job over this so wont it hang over her like a black cloud

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.

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..

I am game for this

I really dont think so mom but also is someone else's life worth you not telling the truth about a medical "professional"

I thought that there was but so far I have only found information to specific states....

I agree mom but also how many people are going to be willing to blow the whistle after this especially if the prosecution wins this case....I mean all it takes is one blown whistle blower and that might be the end of it....

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.... http://www.cbs7.com/news/details.asp?ID=17849 http://sanantonio.injuryboard.com/medical-malpractice/texas-whistleblower-nurse-stands-trial.aspx?googleid=278006

Got mine but was only a three x not size I asked for so gave it to me mum

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.
