What Somali government?

Motorola 3500 radio, will no longer change frequencies (hope thats the spelling), but Mgt won't change out since it still works on our primary area's 3 channels.

What if it just happens to get dropped in a deep puddle.

*bows to the Great Anthony*

I'm in absolute awe!

I just hope that when I grow up and start doing that kind of stuff, I'll be as cool under fire as you obviously were!!

Have one on me!

He was just lucky none of the nurses noticed the big wet patch traveling down his leg!

I see a lot of great suggestions here so I won't re-invent the wheel. I'm from a very rural area where our service area can be anywhere from 1 mile to 100 miles so battery life is a must. Our roads are not the greatest so the monitor needs to be able to differentiate between heart rhythm and bad roads.

All the other suggestions including a way to strap it to the gurney I agree with whole heartedly. One suggestion...don't have so many bells and whistles that it takes college class and several hours of lab work to figure it all out.

Seventeen and under, I am talking to a parent. I have done SOR by telephone, but we are getting an officer or non-service affiliated 3rd party to talk to them on the phone and witness the SOR as well. It is in our system protocols, and possibly in the state rules, however I can't say that for sure.

Well..Everythings possible. Porsche (trainee's) made an Cayenne Ambulance for their factory EMS.

THAT THING IS CRAMPED.

Wow...

Do you guys have height/weight requirements for your medics?

What do badgers even do? lol.

What is the cocktail delivered for dental surgery? Just wondering, I know I was out when I had my wisdom teeth out. Kind of off topic I guess...

hunger. Czar

My department tried to save a little money one year and switched to plastic disposable laryngoscope blades. They tended to get soft and bend in the heat and got brittle and snap in the cold. I snapped one trying to intubate a little kid who got ejected from her mom's car on the overpass and landed on the road bed below.

Is that one of those situations where you wish a cave was forthcoming to hide in?

I am offended due to being a Jehovah's Witness.

JUST KIDDING!

Happy Easter!

It doesn't sound like they are investigating for punishment. It sounds like they are doing a study on the call. I would hope that would happen for any severely unusual call in any jurisdiction. Thinking out side the box is great, and is a cornerstone of medical practice. It is a good thing to investigate these situations where there is not any established protocols to be followed. Hopefully other members and services will benefit.

You're really a man now Anth.....

Ok, well the only bus available at this moments notice is the oats bus which with 6 rows and 4 person per row you get 24 patients that can go via this bus. So this bus will suffice

I have the logistics set but this isn't for me to decide it's your call. how would you transport these patients.

Remember 9 ambulances which will arrive within the next 30-60 minutes.

you already have two ambulances there - so they are booked so you have 7 additional ambulances and you have 5 helicopters already committed to this incident and an additional about 4 or so that are within a 100 mile radius. You have a heli base at the hospital which has a ready supply of aviation fuel so if the 100mile or so away helicopters need fuel there is plenty of fuel available.

So it's your responsibility to get the patients out. Not mine.

The total number of patients you have are 35.

9 of which are kids which are in bad shape

That leaves 26 patients left that are not in bad shape.

5 kids out by scene flight. 4 out by ambulance to hospital. That takes your two on scene ambulances to the hospital. 24 ambulatory in by bus. Pass out puke bags as they board.

Get the other two out by police car. Have one mutual aid ambulance continue for territory coverage.

And some ale.

I hate new people.

I love pretending to be a hardass.

If I don't get to it, remind me, and I will fill you in on how our system works viaPM.

Thats how it works here, and there are no issues. We don't give priorities out when we dispatch.

"Ambulance 1 - Trouble breathing - 500 Main St - 81 year old male trouble breathing taken treatment with no relief cardiac history RD 50-01"

Thats your normal dispatch here.

ROFL! What planet are you living on? Maybe your pr0n sites are raking in the bucks, but you won't find any of these EMS forums making big money. I've seen the numbers. It isn't there. If a hundred people signed up for the chatroom, that would be well under $2000 dollars after PayPal fees. Do you expect 100 people to even sign up? This site rakes in a lot less money than the costs of administrating and maintaining it. If you guys would click on the ads more, instead of using links to bypass the ads, maybe that would be different, eh?

Of course, you guys know that none of this is about the money. It's about drama queens. You know who you are.

Its about boobs

I saw a mystery diagnosis along these lines. I won't share it.

considerate of her to save him the time, hassle and expense of divorce.....

Which is also a common denominator in female suicides. Consideration.

How many is everyone?

Where is the gathering at? Indoors, outdoors?

What are the symptoms being shown?

Yer the landcruisers are quite cramped...i've never worked in one thank god!!! But there's not too many of them around either. They are generally only stationed near beaches where the paramedics may be required to drive onto the beach and I think also in some outback/rural towns.

Is it comarable in size to a full size SUV we have in the states, or does the picture just make it look smaller?
