DUMBEST THING EVER HEARD ON THE RADIO/SCANNER

[mobey]

CPR in progress.... "Zero over zero BP,"

Well then the CPR was not being done right

Jokes, jokes

As a side note, I had a nurse hit the NIBP while I was doing CPR once and it read something like 210/30. kind of interesting I thought.

As for advising the receiving hospital that the ambulance is inbound with an arrest, CPR in progress, and getting asked for vital signs...

That has actually happened to me, when I was dispatching my VAC one time. Whoever answered in the ER wasn't satisfied until I finally told her "Zero over zero BP, pulse rate zero, total assisted respirations."

Heard that a couple of times being givin without being asked for vitals.

During an MCI drill I verbalized an entire trauma assessment with an open mike in the back of the truck, with a few choice words thrown in during swerves and bumps during transport to the simulated hospital. Thankfully the drill was just our town and the frequency isn't repeated. Chief called our truck cellphone to ask us for his channel back. :oops: :oops: :oops:

"Butt breathing..." slang that my old agency often used for "unconcious but breathing."

Not dumb but was unexpected:

Clinton, CT Fire/EMS/Police Dispatch to an IC at a structure fire, "Control 9 to Department 9 IC standby on all radio traffic, we have just recieve multiple 9-1-1 calls in regards to the state being evacuated."

Apparently while doing electrical work at the statewide emergency broadcast center the "evacuate the state" button was tripped on radio and television.

[Richard B the EMT]

Evacuate the state?

Well, NORAD and it's predecessor, CONELRAD, have, several times in recent years, accidently transmitted the "Imminent Nuke Attack, seek immediate shelter" alarm!

Just mentioning, I have Nuclear Emergency Search Team (NEST) frequencies on my scanner. If I EVER hear any traffic on them, I'm digging a hole, hiding in it, and pulling the hole in after me!
