  1. Congrats mate, Im jealous! 24 years to go......
  2. Awww yeah, everyone loves sex. Take the most intimate, private, vulnerable emotional moments and add some weird smells, sounds and mess into it and the occasionally outburst of laughter. Whats not to like about it!
  3. Gets pork crackling Puts in a quarter
  4. Double or single degree? If you can, do the ACU double degree. If not either bachelors degrees are fine, you mind find that VU is better integrated into ambulance Victoria if that is who you would like to work for. Happy to talk more offline, PM me and ill give you my work email.
  5. Yup... We had f350's here when i started, but the damn things were so costly to maintiain and breaking down all the time they got the flick. The other thing is most platforms needed left / right hand steer conversion Love my sprinter http://www.colacambulance.com/colac_past%20vic%20ambulances.htm Pretty much a pictorial history of our vehicles by
  6. Saw that 3 or 4 days ago.. interesting aint it =D
  7. I spoke to someone from medical standard the other day about this, basically said the evidence for norad over adrenaline was very thin. I cant find anything that categorically says that norad improves outcomes or reduces mortality, just some cautions on side effects and transient lactataemia with adrenaline This has come up in a theoretical discussion in the management of an octogeneric septic shock patient with tachycardia. We don't have norad but aramine is on the vehicles. I was kind of wondering if anyone has seen it used prehospitally, I know CCU has used it here at times. And I'm only drink 12 hours a day thanks =D
  8. I will never make the mistake of looking this up on youtube ever again

  10. Kiwi, I dunno about pavlovaland but if our state government would actually invest in some IT infrastructure so record sharing was able to happen between those prescribing and those filling the prescriptions a lot of this prescription drug abuse could be avoided. Endone is easier to get than heroine, and its legal too!
  11. I dunno bro, the post reads more like someone whose primary language is not English to me
  12. Interesting thread No way i could get HEMS to this. all Air Ambulance in this state is owned and operated by my service (noth fixed wing and HEMS) I mean i could ASK for HEMS, and im sure i would be politely refused, followed by a "WTF were you thinking" conversation a few days later Are requests for HEMS vetted when they are recieved, or is the report from the scene the only information required?
  13. supposedly she went to hospital once and after they gave her "the oxygen" and later on she had a runny nose Clearly allergic to oxygen
  14. had someone who was allergic to oxygen once.....
  15. I dont get a choice if inducing hypothermia for ROSC management Whats the patient weight? 100mcg Fentanyl .1 mg/kg midazolam 1.5mk/kg suxemethonium Tube 8mg pancuronium morph/midaz infusion, start off low at 1mg/hr upto 2L ice cold saline, aim for temp of less than 34C Edit. I dont do this stuff yet, just trying to get into the spirit of things =D
  16. ECG / 12ld, GCS, temp + full set of vital signs Get them on my kmonitor Prepare for RSI and cooling Adrenaline infusion drawn up in case she bottoms out again.
  17. i would have witheld the narcan. suspected polypharm OD + other issues i think this patient is better of with their airway protected, their ETCO2 managed and the perfusion supported. I'll let the hospital figure out the cause from this point on.
  18. Gosh, i had that some internal monologue a couple of nights ago, and made worse by the fact the onlookers included the same people who endorsed you for an ICP course. And yet i know the real pressure was only coming from myself. I dont know if us mere mortals can handle that dwayne And welcome brandi, look foreward to hearingmore from you.
  19. I will go out on a limb and say we are using the same AMPDS despatch system here. I know it is used by services in canada (as was toild to us when it was adopted) It is so risk averse it is killing people through incompetence
  20. oh, ok.... please tell me people dont actually sing these on jobs??
