JakeEMT digs out white leisure suit, starts singing " Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah Stayin alive, Stayin Alive" :lol:/

You laugh, but it works!

The beat to that is roughly 100/min. What is the rate of compressions/min we aim for?

The Zoll CPR guy at Firehouse Central in Orlando told me that, after I "failed" the first time playing with the interactive CPR dealy. I hummed along the tune, and "passed"!

I like Placebo - Infra Red

Don't forget the old gem from the early 80's - the country album "You respond to everyone but me" by EMS Country Express.

Even if you don't like country music its worth a listen for the lyrics - particularly 'Can't trust this crew (The ring master):

OK, ladies and gentlemen, lets get down to this critique.

I've looked at the reports, Seems we've had a busy week!

Now, right away I'd like to say some words about supplies.

Our inventory's pretty decent, and I realize

Sometimes you need an item for use in your own pack,

But whoever took the defibrillator had better put it back!

Now while I'm on equipment, and I've mentioned it before,

Before you leave the bay make sure your rig will clear the door.

As you know, we've ordered a new cot for unit 6,

'Cause once those things have been run over, they're impossible to fix!

Sometimes I feel like the ringmaster in the circus.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the keeper in the zoo.

If things don't change, I'll go insane before the year is through.

I wish that I could trade in this entire crew!

Now, the Mayor has cut our budget, and though revenge is on our minds,

Last week at his party you stepped too far out of line.

I guarantee that someone here will surely get the sack

If I find out which one of you spiked the punch with ipecac!

And, it seems we're getting sued again, I'm sorry to report,

But if you wouldn't stop while on a run you could keep us out of court!

It's nice to hear that you asked the patient if he liked his coffee black,

But no more stopping at the Donut Store with someone dying in the back!

My doctor tells me that I can't take this much longer.

He says my heart just cannot take the strain.

If I could, I know that I should get out just the same,

'Cause if my heart holds out, I'm sure to go insane!

A note here for the gentlemen: You gotta think before you act.

Some patients are quite sensitive, so try to use some tact.

When a woman asks you why a chest survey is being done,

Tell her that "It's necessary," and NOT "Because it's fun!"

Last of all, our protocols leave no room for debate:

The patient must be fully unconscious BEFORE you intubate!

OK, I hope you got that down. I hope enough's been said.

And, I hope I never hear of these things happening again!

I must relax, 'cause I can't let this job get to me

A first attack I believe I could survive,

The ER's good, the doctors there could treat and stabilize,

but I can't trust this crew to get me there alive!

Sometimes I feel like the ringmaster in the circus.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the keeper in the zoo.

If things don't change, I'll go insane before the year is through.

I wish that I could trade in this entire crew!

- may remind you of some crews you know!

I haven't heard the album for ages & dug my cassette version out to record as mp3s on my PC to find to my horror it had erased with age (& being sat in a damp rig for years).

But I've found 5 songs off the album (some miss-titled) at http://www.myspace.com/emscountryexpress

Jars of Clay's "Dead Man (Carry Me)"

...So Carry Me,

I'm just a dead man

Lying on the carpet

Can't find a heartbeat

Make me breathe...

Good song :cheers:

Also one that is kinda EMSish is "Damaged" by Danity Kane. I heard it on the radio today and for some reason I actually listened to the lyrics and heard this:

"Do, Do you got a first aid kit handy?

Do, Do you know how to patch up a wound?

Tell me,

Are-are-are-are you?

Are you patient,

Understanding?

Cause I might need some time to clear the hole in my heart and I..."

You know you're in trouble when you put the AM/FM radio on the loud speaker during standby at an event and you've got a small party going on around your rig. Found that out the hard way. What happened to the "white shirt's" sense of humor?

But the gals in the bikinis made up for it. 8)
