Agreed. Remember the rules and the report button.

If you have broadband you can use NextAlarm. They do not require a phone line and it is inexpensive.

The actual document has to be out there somewhere.

Exactly...

I am usually pretty good at the googles, but this one is hiding on me.

Funny, since so many states use this standard still.

That is the national curriculum. I am looking for the I/85 specific one.

Anyone have the link for

US Dept of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration EMT-Intermediate 1985 Curriculum?

Back on topic please.

Hi there,

Happy Eater all!!! Admin--- very cute bunny hopping around at the top!

Just don't put your mouse on him.

I wish I still had some from those d..... nice guys.

I also wish I could have my 979 posts back from brentoli the first... bah.

Huh.. the merge worked. Welcome back brentoli....

(I am sure he lost his password..... awaiting email.) LOL

Because of the change in post counts when we moved over here, I have change the minimum posts to 2000.

I changed the 2500 to 2000. You will be moved the next time you post.

Hello again,

I first wanted to thank the majority that support the decision to put tighter controls on the chat room.

I would also like to address the few out there that do not understand the rational and purpose of this.

The chat room, like all chat rooms, has had problems since it was put in.

Having it paid service and elite member service will prevent a lot of the problems.

As far as the cost of the chat, it is only 5 cents per day. Less than a cup of coffee a month. It is only 19.99 per year.

This is not a money making move. The money will offset the monthly cost of the chat room and may allow us to add additional chat features in the future.

Take Care,

Admin

Duplicate topic.

Hmm.. strange.

I just did a recount after we set up the new groups. That could have done it.

I don't see that occurring again.

Hello Everyone,

The chat room is now a premium service.

You can get in one of two way.

You can pay 19.99 (USD) for a one year access subscription.

or

If you have over 2500 2000 posts (Elite Member), you can get in without a subscription.

The reasons for doing this are plenty, but I am sure the regular chatters can figure out why.

If you have over 2500 2000 posts, and you are having a hard time getting in, the software will automatically put you in the "Elite Member" group the next time you post.

I will address concerns about this policy change by PM only.

Thanks for understanding.

I just found this if you want to put it in your signature line.

Defibrillators recalled after reported incidents

Welch Allyn is recalling about 14,000 external defibrillators after 39 reported incidents, including two that involved patient deaths.

The recall, announced Tuesday, involves 14,054 AED 10 and MRL JumpStart external defibrillators made between Oct. 3, 2002, and Jan. 25, 2007. The Beaverton, Ore., company says there is a remote chance the devices, available through prescription, may produce low-energy shock, shutdown unexpectedly or be susceptible to electromagnetic noise interference.

The issues might prevent defibrillation of a patient in cardiac arrest and could lead to death, the company said in a statement. The company had received 20 instances of low-energy shock, eight instances of electromagnetic noise interference, and 11 instances of the device unexpectedly shutting down.

To the company's knowledge, the defects of the device did not contribute to the two deaths, said spokesman Jamie Arnold. "Human factors played a role in each incident: damaged device in one and failure to follow directions in the other," he said in an e-mail.

The company said customers should keep AED 10 or MRL JumpStart units in use until they receive replacements because the chance of malfunction is low.

In October 2007, the company announced another recall of 1,794 AED10 automatic external defibrillators. The devices could fail or produce a delay in analyzing a patient's ECG and may not deliver appropriate therapy. This could result in failure to resuscitate the patient. No injuries associated with this product had been reported, but the company had reported 49 failures during internal testing and had received three customer complaints.
