Absolutely terrible. Jessica Ghawi death was very shocking as well. A link to a news report about her was posted above. She was at the Eaton mall shooting in Toronto, narrowly surviving. Then a month or so later ended up dying in this one. A link to her blog about the first shooting can be found here. http://jessicaredfield.wordpress.com/

Transport times here to the Trauma Hospital are around 40-50 minutes, depending on traffic. This year Helicopter EMS has arrived, so it'll be interesting to see how beneifical they are.

Sorry to hear that and good success story!

It's their emergency... not... yours.... they're Fubar now...

IFT's can be exciting and challenging too.

Probably not worth going against your preceptor on that one. Personally, I liked to flip the cuff for manual blood pressures so the tubes weren't in the way, now It doesn't bother me.

You do need to be a PCP for a year to go to ACP School.

My next possible route for this one could be Cardiac asthma d/t CHF w/ evident with shark fin, wheezing, & showing improvement with a neb tx. Anymore subjective findings?

?pulmonary embolism - evident by sudden onset & high resps? - maybe has PVD & BBB.

Lucky you didn't wait longer. No clinics in your area do suturing?

Medic 21 you're responding for a 44 y/o female possible loss of wedding ring, fire will be responding with you.

If someone wants a ride home they call a taxi, not the ambulance. It's a BS call.
