only if she is hot! jk

but really.. i dont see any reason why it should be checked... if the baby is coming, it's coming... you aren't gonna stop, check, and wait until its 9cm or whatever and deliver...

seems like it happens a lot... I don't understand why...

patient is cuffed.. they are in police custody... the officer can't leave them by law

I had to do a long transport like this before... wasn't quite 20hrs, but close. Roughly 5hrs each way... and this came in 2hrs before my shift was ending.... and just could not wait! (sarcasm).

We of course protested, but to no avail. So anyway, we stuck it to the boss on the way home... we said we were too tired to operate the vehicle safely. We stayed at a hotel, had a nice meal on the company dollar:)

needless to say.. we were not sent on a transport again under such circumstances. I guess patients had to wait that extra 2hrs from then on...

but i don't work there anymore... it was a strickly transport service... it sucked balls

Here in PA, we can't force entry as EMS until we can visibly see the pt, and they are unable to let us in... otherwise, PD is contacted. I have myself before kicked in a door bc the pt was laying on his floor. Other times patient wasn't able to make it to let us in (door locked) and could not see the patient... we had to contact PD. Which is crap if you ask me... but oh well. I don't make the laws... probably a good thing I dont't either...

can we commence the nut kicking now?

but in all seriousness.... wtf

in my previous post, he went on and on how what that firefighter did was so wrong... when all this time he was a foney... a great big foney!!! how pathetic! I'd spit on you if I saw you, you are a disgrace to your country, your profession, and the military.

do they line up and kick em in the balls?

I agree.... refer back to my post about having the SF guys each get him in the balls

I don't think it's treason, but I'm sure it's against the law. Treason would be if he pretended to be what he was doing, and giving secrets away to towel heads or something like that.

I don't think it was just about double-dipping. Although I think that was probably a part of it, I think that this person is generally such a warped individual that in order to feel good about himself, he had to make up stories about what he was doing in his life to make himself feel better....

Perhaps he suffers from some genetic abherration in which he has no conscience and does not realize that his actions only make him look foolish in the long run... or maybe he is just an incredible jerk who needs to make up lies to feel better about himself.

Unfortunately, the one bad apple analogy applies.... we don't hear enough stories about the men and women who risk their lives every day, and the families and friends who support them....

I agree with Aaron though - let the REAL MEN and WOMEN each get 10 minutes with this lump..... and maybe they can teach him respect for those who serve, and respect for others.

sorry.... should have mentioned the women too.... my bad

yea, its pretty sad when someone is so pathetic they need to make up lies to make themselves look better

What an assclown! But I can tell you all this much: His employer is at fault as well for not demanding to see his activation orders or for even having a contact number from his unit.

Even reserve component Special Forces units have commercial phone numbers that any one could call to check an employees story or verify their membership in a unit.

This assclown was greedy and got caught trying to get two big paychecks all the while throwing in the "Special Forces-Secret mission" sexy warrior crap to make himself look good.

Somedic sends.

I believe that if you pretend to be in the military or anything such, should be thrown in jail, lets make is federal pound me in the ass prison. Or be forced to do what these REAL MEN do every day of their life. Make them do their agility tests, make them go on their runs, make them stay awake for days on end, endless marching, little to no food, sips of water.... let them feel what its really like to be one of the proud.... then have these REAL MEN, kick them in the balls.

ORLAND PARK, Ill. - The embattled Orland Fire Protection District firefighter who faces up to 20 years in prison for allegedly bilking his employer while lying about fighting overseas has resigned. The fire district received a resignation letter from Larry Masa last Friday -- five months after the district asked him to sign one, Fire Protection District Board President Patrick Maher said.

During a recent exclusive interview with the Daily Southtown, Masa said, "If it wasn't going to make any of the criminal charges go away, how could I sign it?"

Masa and his attorney did not return phone calls for comment Thursday.

What Masa's resignation means is unclear.

The 42-year-old Morris resident hasn't been working since he was arrested earlier this year, and he hasn't been paid since March, when his unused accrued time ran out, Maher said. Plus, Masa still faces up to 20 years in prison for theft and official misconduct.

Maher said the resignation means a great deal to the fire district.

"We're able to start putting this thing to rest, putting closure on this," Maher said. "It's just a huge step for us."

The former firefighter, whom friends have called dynamic and dedicated, is accused of telling his supervisors five times from March 2003 to April 2006 that he was called to active duty. During that time, Masa allegedly collected about $193,000 in salary and benefits that are available to firefighters on legitimate military leave, prosecutors have said. His fellow firefighters racked up $50,000 in unpaid overtime pay to cover his shifts.

The district sued Masa to get its money back. The lawsuit is pending.

The results of an internal fire district investigation released in April concluded that fire officials might have been suspicious of Masa if they had listened to rumors circulating in the firehouse or if they had opened a sealed envelope in his personnel file that allegedly acknowledged Masa was working for a private contractor instead of serving in the military.

Orland Park police investigated the conduct of fire administrators and in part discredited the internal investigation, saying that former Deputy Chief Art Granat did not delete a Masa-related file from his laptop before he retired, as the fire district's report claimed. The police are not pursuing conspiracy charges against any top brass.

Masa stands by his story that he was working overseas, from the deserts of Pakistan to the mountains of Nepal. He has said he was training soldiers and gathering information on terrorists while working for USIS, an independent military contractor.

He admits giving the fire district fake deployment papers.

Much of Masa's story can't be verified because he has not provided documents or employer contacts to the Daily Southtown.

In his resignation letter addressed to Maher, Masa doesn't explain why he's quitting, Maher said.

He added that he wasn't sure if he could provide the Daily Southtown with a copy of the resignation letter. The fire district referred the request to acting Chief Bryant Krizik, who did not return a phone call.

I am not involved in the military, nor do I plan on enlisting. Several of my friends are, however in the military. They serve our country because they volunteer'd to do so. They put their lives on the line every day for their country because their country tells them to, and because they want to.

It makes me sick, to even think of this. When I came across this article, i was appalled when I read this. Pretending to be something you are not... get a freaking life. People out their are dying, getting maimed, legs blown off.... parents losing their kids, kids losing their parents, wives losing their husbands... families being town apart for DOING THE REAL THING... and this prick has to go around and say he an american hero, fighting for his country, under the suspicion of one of America's elite fighting forces... is nothing more some asshat trying to make up or his own short comings or something.

Maybe it's just me that is pissed about this, or maybe I am not... sorry for the rant... but this just sickens me.

i dont get it.....

once responded to an mvc... car on its side... wintery conditions...

got on scene... got to the patient, only patient.. and he was still strapped into his seat.. eating his pizza he just picked up from local shop

exactly richard

oops... pt in car was dead... my bad

haha... pwnd!

learn how to read... yea.. big whoop... i made a typo... lets get all bitchy about it. i said once you had the shocky pt transported, get that entrapped patient out..... so next time you decide to bash what i have to say, read what i said first

damn fingers... i meant engine....

Take a look at this one.

we had those in your fire englie... out of the way... but from what i could tell... they worked well, but a box of gloves didn't fit very well... you sort of have to smash the box to make it fit. and mounting it was a pain too.... didnt want to stick to anything.... other than that... worked out well.

Given I don't know the scope of practice you folks use over there, it's hard to judge what I would do. From what you said, you did good work.

Bus people are ok... leave them sit in the bus... if it's stable of course. Transport the shocky pt immediatly, don't wait for ALS. Maybe pop in 2 iv's bolus with fluids... *can the emt-b transport that?* if so, do that. You are the highest trained on scene... you are in control.. you can't really leave. Everyone else is ok... forcus on the entrapped patient.. or not given on MOI.... but that's just me

aaron
