Scaramedic

What's a CC?

Yep, they fired him last night. I didn't know until today this was the second complaint like this against him. Appearantly they did not have enough evidence last time.

Thank god. Membership count 4.

Hey AMR in Portland has an opening for a Paramedic now. :?

That is a trick the media plays, when I studied Journalism (it was my minor) we called it Yellow Journalism. A news agency using spectacular headlines to grab ones attention. William Randolph Hearst was notorious for this kind of trick. Many historians feel that Hearst was responsible for the Spanish American War due to his massive power in the newspaper industry and his brand of yellow journalism. The police did not say he is guilty and he committed the crime, they can't. It is up to the District Attorney to file charges, the Grand Jury reviews the case, the suspect is arraigned, and the suspect has a trial. Only then can guilt be set by a jury of the suspects peers. In this case the news station is using the Police: blah, blah blah trick. I believe it is because it is a TV station and an online story they can get away with it. If the print media posted a headline like this there would be hell to pay in the editorial office. P.S. William Randolph Hearst was the chief influence for the character Charles Foster Kane according to Orson Welles. He hated Hearst and his politics. It is rumored but has never been proven that Rosebud was Hearst's nickname for Marion Davies (his mistress) private parts.

That quote of mine was in relation if he actually told you where the bomb was and it was real. Would you be willing to risk your life to move it. Sorry I didn't want to push the opinions one way or another on this. I am just curious what everyones opinion is. So far two against. Anyone else?

You know what I love about shit like this? The headline is "Paramedic Sexually Assaulted Patient" and in the body of the article is this "Detectives are still investigating the incident." Guilty until proven innocent. That's all I'll say on this one. Also I won't post the Medics name on a national/international forum. If you must know who it is, Google it. So when are we going to get smart and put cameras in the back to protect everyone? The patient, the Medic and the company/city/department. That's my opinion. So what's your opinion?

It's a basic knowledge course for your level. I don't remember anything that difficult but it might vary by area.

You could move the truck that's about it. Then the question becomes how far are you willing to go to save others?

This is the only 24 staffer available, sorry. :?

Let's change the situation a bit, to the ole ticking bomb scenario. You have Timothy McVeigh with respiratory distress. He states that when he set off a ten minute fuse for truck bomb the smoke irritated his asthma. He is in severe distress, he had to tell you that in one word sentences. He won't tell you anymore. It's been about seven minutes since he lit the fuse. There is no time for PD to get there and question him. Do you withhold treatment until he tells where the bomb is? Would you do "other" things to extract the information? Tick Tick Tick... If this sounds like a dumb scenario, McVeigh really did set off a ten minute fuse and walked away from the truck. He made it several blocks to his car before the bomb went off. RIP those lost in the Murrah Building Bombing, no disrespect intended.

Dwayne, no one says you have to reign yourself in at all. Hell, I don't. Just pick your fights where there is a reason for a fight. Trust me Spenac will give you a good reason to jump his ass, just wait until it then.

Once we were trapped by a gang of drug lords. My partner constructed a cannon that shot watermelons on top of the van. We drove at the dealers and destroyed their vehicles with the watermelons. It was awesome. Ohh wait, I'm sorry that was an A-Team episode. :?

They're all over on this thread.

Someone needs to take a Valium, saying "I don't have any whacker tees myself" is not equivalent to saying your a whacker. If I said I don't have herpes, I am not saying you do or your a herpes lesion. In case you haven't noticed we use the term whacker tees all the time when talking about EMS themed t-shirts. There is absolutely no reason to pick a fight here and get insulting. I Hate to tell you Dwayne but your coming off like a real ass here.

Is this the one your talking about Timmy?

Levophed is making a comeback? What's next intracardiac injection? Cadillac ambulances?

Nice to pop in and condemn a member for a lame post Asy, I love your defending of "Non Americans" and women. Just out of curiosity where were your comments when I posted about a Muslim Saudi women being lashed 200 times for reporting a rape? Where was the outrage for women then? NREMT-B, countless?? Three is countless to you? What is 4? Beyond reckoning? You know if one was to look at who has stirred up more shit in threads you vs PCB, guess what you win hands down. So I would be careful about chucking rocks through windows laddie. As someone who is truly an equal opportunity offender I am consistently amazed at what can tork some people off. You find this joke offensive but you let this one slide, and this one, and finally this one. I honestly believe some of the weakest words a human can utter are "that offends me" when speaking of anything short of violence and war. What you are really saying is my fragile ego cannot handle anything outside of my norm. For God sakes grow a pair or get the wad out of your panties it was just a joke. Not even that funny of a joke and old as hell.

Those comments are awesome, I especially like this one... "I bought a can of this about 4.5 billion years ago, give or take a few million years, but when I went to use it today I noticed only half of it was still in the can. I swear I put the lid on tight. I'd give it more stars if it came in a better package." You gotta love half-life jokes.

You already posted that four times Spen.

Give it a chance, it works. Now I might be biased because I worked for the hospital that invented it. They put a lot of study into this and it does work. Unlike sheets you can place this on the board, roll the patient, assess, roll them onto the board and cinch it up. It is made to stop at a certain pressure so it will not over tighten. The placement can be done in twenty-thirty seconds. It's basic, if you break your pelvis you encountered enough force to injure your spine. So the patient is going to get boarded. So why not add one quick step to stabilize the pelvis? T-POD is kind of cool too. I do not know a whole lot about it though. Oh and just for the record I do not work at that hospital anymore nor am I in any way getting paid or connected to the SAM Sling. I just think it's a good product.

The sheet, invented around 3400 BC by the Egyptians. M.A.S.T. - Invented in the 1960's. The Sam Pelvic Sling, invented 2003 Let's try to keep up people.
