Mobey he said the 5 letter swear word ! The so called "not for profit" private HEMS operation in Saskatchewan the homeland of Tommy Douglas ? Lord give me strength ! I was really enjoying your post until the STARS word appeared .. man don't set your sights so LOW ! So Is STARS actually operational in Saskabush already ? I heard there was a bit of confusion with them being awarded a contract against the SK Purchasing Act ? especially when there ARE other viable SK based operations and far more cost effective ..instead of the begging that STARS does in lotto funding and corporate oil patch "handouts" http://www.canlii.or...4-c-p-49.1.html ps Stubble Jumper the "STARS CCP program" is not yet recognised prvincially let alone nationally, but when your operations budget for 3 BK 117 is 48 + Million dollars I guess you can buy anything you wish eh ? cheers

Good Grief just I see a glow of the light bulb turn on .... this lets all skip down the blanket statement path ? Seriously HLPP your so easy to slam its hard for me to restrain myself ! How does your sexiest commentary have any thing to with doing the job ? Should we hire midgets because they are being persecuted against as well .. sheesh get a grip on EMS reality PLEASE. The JOB in EMT = Ed's Moving and Transportation whether it be EMT A/B/I/P ... being able to lift (without injuring yourself or your partner safely) In passing ... I was trained by a <gasp> women how to lift properly .. again a blatant stereotypical back woods response. Yo do make a very valid point in about continued fitness and re-evaluation it is abysmal, we are and well documented observing an alarming number of hose monkeys and band-aids dropping dead on scenes, could it be the lifestyle we lead or societal changes and lack of fitness testing .. Quite disappointingly the OP is asking for assistance on how to make herself a better caregiver, qualifying for a position with higher than normal expectations and how to improve .. but here we go down the hire based on affirmative action hiring in the workplace .. so you can't lift .. well get off MY TRUCK your a safety hazard ! cheers

Good advice ! No Great Advice !

Welcome Stubble Jumper ! ps go directly to SIAST .. you do not need PCP experience to become an ACP.

Nothing further need be stated .. the use of tropes, mannitol are best left to ICU settings with mandatory ICP probe in situ. http://thejns.org/doi/pdf/10.3171/foc.2003.14.4.2 cheers

Try straight up .. diplomacy is way over rated, my concern would be for safety as if your ground and a call comes in .. looking for kids playing in the garage is ALL bad and a safety issue. Ok a query you say your Flight ? .. does your employer allow anyone other employees in restricted area's like hangers ? If your working rotary what is your partner doing leaving the station in the first place .. I have worked fixed wing but our legal 'wheels in the wells" was 30 minutes although we played ball on the tarmac, and had a xcountry ski track in the field adjacent. cheers

Only in BC eh ? LOL !

I have worked on major Hollywood Movie's sets .. PASS ! late edit A well quoted Hollywoodism: "Why tell the truth when a lie works just as well." Would rather survive on mac and cheese for the rest of my life .. you are considered a disposable commodity PERIOD.

You know I am thinking this an excellent POST .. Handgun safety is very simple .. you need to educate yourselves, you will encounter firearms in our jobs, heck we teach the rookies at SAR a free course in firearm handling. Point the barrel away from anything to do not want to KILL ! Locate the safety (accept on Glocks) and make it point away from the red dot ps RED is YOUR DEAD just a reminder. Locate the mag release, activate it, mag drops out. Then pull the slide back until no more shells are ejected most slides will actually lock open with no rounds. Call me and I will put this fine piece of workmanship (the Kimber 9.0 mm) in my very safe lock up. For revolvers DONT PULL THE HAMMER BACK .. sheesh no one ever watch the Lone Ranger ? Thanks for your support

Well you would have to remove the stat of deliberate in this situation, then your study was from 2000. kinda of dated. If one does the math against the number of firearms on record and handled daily I believe a different result would occur. I am enjoying that you have turned the page a bit .. I certainly hope you continue with a more evidence based debate. Point in fact the firearm was located on the patient the question posed was what would YOU do. cheers

Well I believe you finally have a tangible point, from my experience in humanitarian efforts with natural catastrophes the FIRST place the community goes is "their church" although as AK I am not a "true believer" but the clergy can provide excellent guidance on many topics, again NOT a SINGLE debrief and its ALL GOOD .. as the WHO missive clearly states. A personal note: One of my past Councillor's was not only a United Church of Canada ordained Minister but had a PHD in sociology .. when things got rough in ICU like 8 codes a day (and I was the very last one to speak to them) and kicking out a few plugs on Ventilators it was not mandatory but I sought his council .. but we mostly shot the breeze on other topics .. and never a one visit fix and your GTG. I clearly remember some 25 years ago "the Jasper-Hinton Rail Disaster" ps Discovery Channel Documentary has facts and figures wrong btw. I was the triage officer 98 injured (triaged and transported in an hour and 40 minutes) 19 dead I was wrong when I looked in the observation Car and counted the number of burn limbs then divided by 2 .. I only got 16 black .. oh well never was good at math. The CISM was a "conference call" for those involved and was "facilitated" by the Hospital Administrator whose prime job was to hand out sandwiches in the waiting room ... MEH what a frigging ____ !

And excellent suggestion .. Hello Mythbusters .

Note to self: Do NOT debate with systemet

Unfortunately it is NOT a joke, I have been witness to many a woman that used her feminine attributes to have FF or LEO do the lifting .. nothing pisses me off more that this BS ploy. The OP is succinct in her desire to pull her fair share and work hard to be an equal I commend her ! cheers ps I believe at this juncture in your development of your on line persona you may wish to take a "time out" or "go to your room to reflect a bit" .. this works well with my 15 yo daughter, just saying.

So use ones sexuality to get a job or have someone lift for you .. well get off my truck !

Change feet ?

Ah never been in a hostile environment when you NEED a firearm for safer travel ... meh.

Dear hatelilpeepees: I believe you are confusing the term scientist with that of researcher .. there is a marked difference. especially when dealing with the human mind a completely different set of rules of engagement .. eyedawn stated far better than I can. That stated I would love to agree with you and your anecdotal comments, but then ... we would both be wrong. cheers

<gasp> oh just what do you mean ?

I wonder about that ERdoc .. primers are pressure sensitive not electronic and the ONLY weapon thats a safe weapon is one that has no shells in it and Breach OPEN .. the Kimber is an easy mag release .. most all sidearms "pointed away" in a couple of seconds can be unloaded . No wait I take it ALL back ... just goggled the Kimber 9 mm .. that was mine, it just fell onto Grandpa when I was doing CPR ... sweet lil handgun that !

best score 52 ... damn you Happi .. that was 1 hour out of my life !

Clear the weapon ... mag in my pocket .. just a hunk of metal now, driver contact dispatch asap to have LEO collect. cheers

May i remind you that the Dr. Bledsoe is co-chair of the Curriculum and Evaluation Board (CEB) for the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) at MacDill AFB, FL. Dr. Bledsoe was recently named a 'Hero of Emergency Medicine as part of their 40th year celebration. Again: I suggest you look to the handouts (it becomes most clear that you have NOT yet reviewed the Power Point Presentation) ... you will find over 20 references by Bledsoe to actual quantitative STUDIES, these are called meta analysis and the philosophy behind present day "Evidence Based Medicine" and if you would care to look to the referenced research you may find that these "PORKIES" are actually reading these documents, in fact did Dwayne or AK even post on this topic ? The real "fact of the matter" is in my opinion that this franchised CISM programme is a marketing gimmick, can you prove that it does any good at all ? Besides your initial argument was we grow men tougher in this part of the country and they dont cry .. are you begging to get your pee pee whacked ... ? btw The OP was by W.H.O. that is the World Health Organization its not one man / womens opinion, a consensus but thank you very much for taking this very important thread into the name calling .. I hate lil pee pees ... I always wondered what that handle indicated, and now I know. cheers

Click on CISM Debunk .. it should download my AVG security needs a prompt to allow opening .. please make note that the Power Point production is not for usage unless BEB is contacted .. knowing Bledsoe he will get back to you. ps this is a revised PPP from the original draught . cheers

By the end of this thread I am going to have a HUGE collection, one for every day of the week ..
