  1. We use the Zoll M-series with all the bells and whistles. We like it.
  2. Looks like petechiae possibly related to a mosquito borne viral illness like dengue hemorrhagic fever, since he was in a tropical region recently. His clotting mechanism is messed up. Priority: ABC's, IV line in case he crashes, draw purple, red, and clot tubes of blood with IV start, HOB at 45, start O2, cardiac monitor, scoop and run.
  3. Having been on both sides of the altercation, both as a Deputy and as an EMT, I believe this was handled poorly. I believe that the police officer acted improperly at the scene. It is not like the driver of the ambulance was going to disappear and not be able to be located. What would have happened if there was a brother officer in the back. What if the pt. had coded during the altercation and there was nobody in the rig? Just my 2 cents worth.

  14. a few drops of water on the eyelid also will do it, as the raise their hand to wipe it away.

  16. You cant blame the system for her failures. Granted she had some baggage going into this training, and I doubt if her age was the issue. EMS is not for everyone. ( IMHO )
  17. is there anyway to make it into a movie....some sort of mask to pull it thru.. and film the strip as you pull it thru the mask? Just putting an idea out there.
  18. we here in my area, the biggest potential problem with the EMS and FF jobs would be alcohol. After 1+ years with this fire company and ambu squad, I have yet to see any volly appear to a tone in anything other than a sober condition. If they have been drinking, they dont show up. They know the penalties for showing up impaired. There are just to many eyes upon you, be it at the fire ground or at the hospital. Nuff said?
  19. Yikes, This guy sounds like an accident waiting to happen.. My thoughts are..tell him thanks you for your support, but you are a LIABILITY, not an asset, and your services are no longer needed.

  21. sort and priceless..... Handie Talkie on tailgate of ambulance.
