No, I do not pat down patients, So how do you do your RBS and find those injuries that are under the clothing so it is possible for someone to sneak a gun on board, although it has never happened. In my area, PD always responds to any person unconscious call, so I do not have to wait 15 minutes So do the PD do your RBS for you before you get there. If the patient is at home, I would leave it there, if he is at a business I would leave it with law enforcement or the business owner, but I would get them to sign for it and show me some ID. If I did not find it until enroute If you did your RBS when your suppose to then you shouldn't find a gun enroute, I would move it to a compartment and then turn over to hospital security.

And do you honestly believe that there is anything she can do in the next few weeks to be able to double her arm strength, it is time for another job, it is obvious this one wants penises only.

Well considering its her legs that should be worked on, you know as a manager that to lift properly lift with your legs cheers

My friends have been going every year for the past 6. They leave about mid january and return end of march. They go to Brisbane (spelling) area and they are there for the tennis opens. They rent an apartment as it the cheapest way to go. If you want any info just let me know and ill find out for sure what they do.

as for perv he has a new love and we are on the back burnner

Oh, when we get caught, we change the subject, NICE.......................... I just don't know how I will survive without your friendship. But anyway, I will ask again, what use is this animal in the hospital ?

And what about the next asthmatic patient who has allergies to PET hair/dander ?

Well ya got the dog talk down pat, bet you know cow also, now how about learn human. As per protocol in any service if you clean your ambulance to the proper standard there should be no problem with Dog dander.

Try cleavage, works every time !!!

And this is the answer to your question

hummmm guess your arm got the same workout it would have with the activities you can do in an hour eh

So I am going to really try to disregard the stupid in this thread. I do not think that there is a service dog in my community, but I dont really know for sure.

I am not afraid of dogs, even if they are snarling and growling at me, I dont react and I have never been bitten by a dog. If not taking the dog is going to cause more stress on my patient then it will go with us. If my partner is afraid of dogs then they can drive and if the want to attend the call the dog is on the front seat with me. As for the safety of the flying dog, most service dogs wear harnesses. It may not be the best seatbelt but it can be manipulated to work enought so the dog dosn't go airborn.

Now if my patient is severly screwed the dog is going to be my last thought and I would hope that someone else makes sure that it is taken care of.

It all about the nature of the call and there is no right answer.

okay i have a question, maybe I missed it but what was the answer to this senerio ?

This is my mother in laws stuffing (it isnt really go away but it is awsome)

Night before

1 doz hamburger buns or what ever type of bread

seasoning salt

italian seasoning

pepper

crushed red pepper (all to taste)

poutry seasoning

Mix together in a big bowl and cover for the night.

1lb of butter

large onion

and Sausage meat that isn't linked, it just a package of meat (can remember what it is called)

In a large pan cook and crumble sausage add onion and butter so it all melts.

mix into bread crumb mixture and then stuff your bird

You can other things if you want but I have always found the butter and the sausage makes for a juicy bird.

you know Siff when you said the mental issue of being fat it made me think of a story from an old unit chief.

Brand new medic this was maybe her second or third call. There was a tug boat that was sending cement cider blocks for a new warf. They didn't measure the rope properley and the boat went down with the block and the skipper. the skipper some how got into a small area of the tug but still drowned. When they resurfaced the tug (remember at that time we were body removel and some of us still are) she was the only one small enough to get through the entrance. All she was told to do get the body in the bag and there was a rope (somehow) so the other could pull the bag closer to the door. Well she got the body in the bag but the sea lice had eaten away the meat on the head, so basically there was only a skull. Luck have it for her the head fell off, she was so mortified that she picked it up quickly and put it in the bag. After that she started to gain weight (not a whole lot) and her reasoning was "I will never be the smallest one again that has to go through the hole"

I think someone dosnt want the girl in the service. I am very strong and have awsome lifting abilities but to make me lift 260 lbs is unreasonable, is that not a recipe for disaster and sever back injury if it is done wrong.

I once and only once went to a grocery store that the cashiers didnt even put the groceries through the scanner because you would never guess, they might get tendonitis of the wrist and elbow omg, so they just watched us do it all

this is my edit. just read the post again and realized that she was only lifting 130 lbs. Still heavy but my advice is to find someone who weight lifts and get them to show you how to lift properly. Once you have that perfected you should work on the weight. When we did our lifting test it was a 100lbs set of dumbells on the ground, pick them up and go up 10 steps, turn around and go down 10 steps.

I have no idea what this comment means, none. I am the OP and try not to use term like Lardo or Tubbo when referring to people even when they are disgustingly fat.

What makes you think I am skinney?

I thought you were refering the skinny guy that had to stand for the flight as the OP ......

I am not insensitive or nothing and I agree with you.

It's like my Consultant Physician friend says -- I am so bloody sick of people blaming being tubbo on glandular problem or having big bones, if there are so many people with medical causes for being obese how come there were no fat people at Auschwitz?

And before you start getting all bent out of shape my Nana was in bloody Auschwitz (and she wasn't fat!)

Well I dont think they were fed

After reading this and seeing the pic it makes me wonder on the mental state of our societies. Why would anyone do this to themselves.

http://vitals.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/11/23/8980582-bottom-line-doc-explains-mysteriously-massive-buttocks

Lardo and Tubbo is not representative of the group, only the individual poster.

Still rude concidering the orginal poster was the skinny guy standing

Okay so really surpised at the names Lardo and Tubbo comming out of this group We know that obesity is a growing issue in our society but there are those that are truely obese from medical reasons and how do we know he is not one of them?

As for the Airline they probably didnt know he was 400 lbs when he bought the ticket but it should have been addressed when he checked in and then charged for the extra seat. Since this plane was already full and he as the late boarder they should have turned him away for that flight and rescheduled him on the next with 2 available seats. Pretty simple if you ask me.

If that was me I would have put up a polite stink before take off and the airline since they made his flight horrid should be offering a hole lot more than a 200 doller voucher.

My mouse sucks so i can only get to 58

Oh RumFiend, you know. I assume (yeah, I'm an ass) that he would be referring to our standing orders and capabilities. RN's cannot intubate, etc and need physician approval for pretty much everything. We can intubate, give narcs, suture, so on and so forth without having to see if Simon Says ...

The first time I brought in a pt with a very nasty fractured ankle (it was pretty gross to say the least) I was surprised that the nurse could NOT give entonox. I just went got mine and carried on with my protocol until the Dr. came in and had a look, there is no reason ever that a patient should have to wait with a 10/10 pain scale.

Sexual Harassment is when you are a waitress and a customer grabs your ass,

Assult is when said waitress slams tray upside customers head and knocks him out of his chair in front of his buddies.

Sexual Harassment is when you have creepy old men looking at your ass throughout a meeting and are stupid enough to say something,

Revenge is sending a message to their wife saying how dissappointed you are in their husband

Sexual Harassment is when you are walking down the road and a car full of penises yell how nice your ass wiggles when you walk,

Solution is when you see them with their gf's and you ask them if your ass still wiggles nice when you walk and you walk away....

Now when women do the above it is a compliment

This isn't sexual harassment in the traditional scense but it was obviousely offensive to someone who is religious and they shouldn't be surfing on a employers computer. Now with that being said the other questions that need to be answered are is this something that has happened before, are there firewalls, and what is the actual policy, because if they were fired for sexual harassment and it was actualy for breaking a porn policy those former employee's may have their own case.....

Ya and some have funny names, and are just plain mean, the guy above is both. Just so you know I am the nice one lol

I know where it is

I think in my mind it comes down to the fact the partner didnt want to enter for what ever reason. I have refused only once to go in a residence until RCMP have cleared the scene because like Herbie I know my community. The other fact that should be noted is the fact that the residence itself could have a potential hazard, alot of homes here have not been kept up and there are those I will not go into because I dont want to fall through a floor.

Dear Prime Minister,

Please find below our suggestion for fixing the CANADIAN economy.

Instead of giving billions of dollars to banks that will squander the

money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.

You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about Ten million people over 50 in the work force.

Pay them $ 2 million each severance for early retirement with the

following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire.

Ten million job openings - unemployment fixed

2) They MUST buy a new Canadian? car

Ten million cars ordered - Car Industry fixed

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing

Crisis fixed

4) They MUST send their kids to school/college/university - Crime rate

fixed

5) They MUST buy $100 WORTH of alcohol/tobacco a week .....

And there's your money back in duty/tax etc

It can't get any easier than that!

Also:

Let's put the pensioners in jail and the criminals in a nursing home.

This way the pensioners would have access to showers, hobbies and walks.

They'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical

treatment, wheel chairs etc and they'd receive money instead of paying

it out.

They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped

instantly, if they fell, or needed assistance.

Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed

and returned to them.

A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and bring their meals and

snacks to their cell..

They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.

They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counselling,

pool and education.

Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJ's and legal aid would be free, on

request.

Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with

gardens.

Each senior could have a PC a TV radio and daily phone calls.

There would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and the guards

would have a code of conduct that would be strictly adhered to.

The criminals would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised.

Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room and pay

$400.00 per week and have no hope of ever getting out.

Think about this:

COWS:

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad

cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in

Goondiwindi almost three years ago, right to the paddock where she slept

in the feedlot at Bony Mountain?

And, they even tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable

to locate 125,000 illegal immigrants wandering around our country. Maybe

we should give each of them a cow.

Well at least they reported their mistake instead of burying it.

So since you already admitted that you burried your mistake until such time you go to your patient and confess, get over it already. And you wonder why you have been labled a troll

I agree with your partner on this one. I live in a community that is small and even if I know the residence and it is a certain type of call I wait for the police. Where there are drugs there is normally violence. Always remember your safety ALWAYS comes first. If your partner didnt want to go in then you should respect that.
