PD 2: What? ------------------------------ More snow emergencies: PD car 1 is speculating about the way PD 2 sounded over the radio: I have no clue what he was saying because he kept breaking up. PD 2: North 11th *static* stuck... *static* PD 3 to PD 1: I think he's stuck ------------------------------ Some more snow: PD officer stuck in the snow, directing "rescue" efforts via radio: More, more, more, more! OK thank you. ------------------------------ OK last one with snow: PD 1: Is the car working? PD 2: NO! I'm sitting in front of the high school, freezing!!! ------------------------------ PD is called out to check what was described by the caller as a large pile of glass in the middle of the street; PD 1: So... can we get someone to clean this up? PD Headquarters: You got a broom? PD 1: Negative. This pile is about 40x20 feet. ------------------------------ HQ: Car 1, head over to 123 Main St. Resident states she has deer on her porch... called 911 for it. Car 1: OK, I'll check it out. What's the address? HQ: 123 Main St. Car 1: Deer on her porch??? HQ: Affirmative. Car 1: Alright....

In my NJEMT-B class we were taught how and when to use them (systolic <90, pulse >120, resps >30, no abnormal lung sounds, no chest trauma; will have to double check my numbers when i get home :oops: ) but none of the BLS rigs I've seen carry them, my squad is just across the river from Robert Wood Johnson Level I Trauma Ctr, as well as St. Peter's University Hospital, and JFK Medical Ctr all close by, so by the time we have the pants properly inflated and package the pt he could have walked to the ER. Other reasons for discontinuing the MAST-PASG included too long of a deflation time in the ER, inhibiting necessary treatment. Prob make good ski pants for your EMS backboard/bobsled team 8) Yippie kaieie motherf*cker!
