  1. I would work the code for a couple of reasons... I realize that there isnt much to do to actually resuscitate the guy when looking at the MOI, but you can work him to let the bystanders know you're gonna try. Alot of times an occasion like this will be the only encounter a person has with an EMS system until they need it themselves...they want to know you are going to do everything you can to help them. Second reason, and i dont know if this has been stated yet or not, is if the guy is an organ donor. Alot of times you can preserve the organs by keeping blood flowing through and 02 coming in. Now obviously there's no way to find out if the organs are still viable in the field (unless they're spilled out on the ground...its easy then) so every pump of blood and molecule of oxygen you send through will be able to get to those organs, keep them viable and be able to help someone else who needs them. These are just the 2 things i think of when i read the initial post...sorry if its a reposting of someone else's thoughts, i didnt read through the entire thread.
  2. a Honda Accord...used to have a 69 chevy pickup, but i had to get rid of it because of gas costs. I dont like it too much, i'd much rather have a Mazda 6. Of course, my dream car is a 1968 pontiac firebird
  3. Yesterday - The Beatles Where are you?
  4. Hey all, Just found this site after realizing that i havent really been a member of a forum in a while, and never in an ems forum so i though i'd join up. I've been an EMT for 3 years now, and i'm employed at a vacation resort in Newport Coast (a small sub-section of Newport Beach.) I look forward to being a member here. Phil
