  1. Your poll is no longer worth anything. You had about half of your votes before you changed the scenario. Just FYI.
  2. I may have vomited in my mouth a little bit. Yep. I did.
  3. Two winters ago, during an "Indiana Blizzard" we were going to an injured in a fall. Got the ambulance stuck approximately 3/4 to a mile away. Hiked all the way in with the bag alone, and left the driver, and 4x4 behind to start digging out the truck. Arrived, she just needed help up. Got an SOR because of some minor bleeding. Got back to station, and remembered the BP cuff sitting on their kitchen table. I just got a spare out to use for the next week.
  4. The first yellow was due to the fractures, and the elevated pulse/decreased BP. The second I considered yellow. My reasoning (with out looking at any protocols) is that with being pregnant, and the elevated vitals, she will need to go in and get checked out, but not get mixed in with the walking wounded when they make their mass exodus from the scene. The third is obviously red. In a low manpower/high patient situation, though, she would probably be black.
  5. Where, in the world, did this influx of anti-education people come from!?!?!?
  6. So what drink did you have in your hand?
  7. He was just lucky none of the nurses noticed the big wet patch traveling down his leg!
  8. 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.

  10. Wow... Do you guys have height/weight requirements for your medics?
  11. What do badgers even do? lol.
  12. 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...
  13. Is that one of those situations where you wish a cave was forthcoming to hide in?
  14. I am offended due to being a Jehovah's Witness.
  15. 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.
  16. You're really a man now Anth.....
  17. 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.
  18. If I don't get to it, remind me, and I will fill you in on how our system works viaPM.
