Terr, Your sig pics are getting disturbing....... Do you need a hug?? P

Excuse me for mot being PC in my statement, The young man used very poor judgment. Bull, it was a stupid move! Granted, I was not there, but from the reports I have read on this he did not go in 5 or 10 feet to access the situation. He went in alone, and without a charged line or RIT team, to do a search for an occupant that was already accounted for. Take this to another level, had he blown a red light on the way to the scene and killed someone in another vehicle, that would also be stupid. Just because he took his own life, just because he was young, just because he left a grieving family doesn't make it any smarter. Needlessly becoming a victim is stupid. PC

He very well may have been a great kid, but ya can't fix stupid..... PC

I'd give her the "Nobel Piece Prize" PC PS: How ya doin Terr??

Is anyone going to the Indiana Emergency Response Conference in Indy, later this month? PC

That is funny!!! I gotta save this one... PC

It's not something I would do.. Why do you want an extra 2 gal? I just fill up before I get down below 1/4 tank..

Damn straight I'll warn people, and I appreciate it when they warn me. I'll venture a guess that in all my years I have yet to even drive past a kidnapper, much less warn them of a cop ahead. If I want to contribute to revenue enhancment, I'll make a donation to the Policeman's Ball. PC

When I googled EMT, the city was #9.....

Wouldn't that be "2 out of 4"??? Paul

If this is true, then it has to be Dust..... Paul

This contains questionable language, but seems to fit the theme for the day. Paul

You work South Central LA and you wish you could go in before LE gets there?? Are you nuts?? I grew up in LA, and know the turf. You must have a bigger set of 'nads than I do to even work that area. Take care!! Paul

Far away...... nickelback (and not because it has FFs in the vid)

You're so much kinder now that you are no longer single. It almost brings a tear to my eye... PC

Do tell more... And you wouldn't happen to have that on video, would you??? PC

MEDIC SHOT: This week is National Emergency Medical Services Week. http://www.acep.org/practres.aspx?id=30212 ....so this story again demonstrates the risks that all EMS folks have to deal with. This time, on Monday, an EMT was shot on the job in East St. Louis (IL) and is now in fair condition in the hospital after the Doc's pulled a slug from his arm. A second bullet, lodged in his chest, remains. The EMT, Patrick Bierman, 23, is the first MedStar employee to be shot on the job. EMT Bierman graduated from Northern Illinois University on Saturday. Bierman was shot while transporting another shooting victim. The incident began when two men were shot about 2100 on Monday as they sat in a car ...about 2140, shots were fired from a small red car into the ambulance as they were transporting. EMT Bierman, though shot twice, managed to turn over the drivers seat to another EMT and no one else in the ambulance was hit. All three shooting victims remained in area hospitals today and are all expected to live. We wish EMT Bierman the best for a rapid recovery. WHILE NOT JOB RELATED: Our condolences to Cranston (R.I.) FF's on the loss of brother FF James Pagano. Families were celebrating at FF Pagano's kids birthday party when it suddenly took a deadly turn last Sunday around 3. Some of the little kids from the birthday party had accidentally wandered into the neighboring yard of retired Providence police officer Nick Gianquitti....an argument broke out between Gianquitti and FF Pagano, who was hosting the party....the fight escalated to the point where Gianquitti grabbed a gun and shot Pagano dead. Gianquitti was arraigned Monday morning on murder charges in 3rd District Court. FF Pagano leaves behind his wife and two young children.

OK Dust, What is on the top 5 most played list? PC

I love that, it is the story of my life!! PC

It is for me... Don't drive.... PC

May I pick the brains of some of you experienced medics out there on something that happened to me the other day? After donating blood and the procedure was complete, I passed out in the lounge. Now, I have no fear of needles or anything like that. My last intake was 3 hrs prior, a banana and and 16oz of water. No history of diabetes, no present illnesses. The staff offered me a soda and a cookie, and after 30 minutes or so I was able to get the heck out of that bus and into my own vehicle (mistake #1). At this point I felt like crap, but I just wanted to get home. I pulled out on the highway and realized that I was about to drop out again. Numbness and tingling in my hands and feet, confusion, ect. I made it to the nearest turnoff and got the vehicle into park before dropping out again. When I woke up, I figured maybe I had better call the ambulance shed, but I couldn't remember where I was ("Come and get me, I don't know where I am" doesn't work very well). To make a long story short, after trying again to drive (mistake #2) and waking up in a bean field, I made it to the shed. I asked for O2, even though I was hyperventing (don't ask me why, I guess I was thinking hypovolemic shock, it didn't help) and called a friend to take me home. When I got home, I grabbed a tube of instant glucose, and 10 min after taking it was feeling somewhat better. Now, can anyone tell me why my BGL would tank like that? I'm healthy as a horse. Thanks, PC
