What's wrong with this picture?


Recommended Posts

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to today's episode of "What's wrong with this picture?" I'm your host, the World Infamous Herbie of Medic 9 Fame.

Today's contestant comes from New York City. Our contestant(s) have a glorious history of being the heroes of everything, and never doing anything wrong, as well as letting tradition impede progress. Ladies and gentlemen, join me in giving a round of applause to the FIRE DEPARTMENT OF NEW YORK!

C-Collar on incorrectly ( askew), hard to take a pulse with a watch on. His head isn't immobilized either by manual stabilization or tape. I can't be sure, but the straps look loose on the LSB.

additionally the LSB isn't secured to the stokes, and there are no head blocks in place, and the patient is 'crooked' on the board. Nort to mentione the complete lack oif other medical care and treatments... :roll: :shock:

Why is it we slam Fire at every chance? It is a picture at a particular moment. The pt. was removed by fire ( see scene safety ). Oh well, let the fire bashing begin :roll:

this is on-topic how???

Oxygen? It's highly overrated. Besides, you normally get 21% in room air. Seeing all the debris around, this patient might be getting 16% by room air. Sheesh, I don't even know why we carry it. It's just one more piece of equipment we have to drag around. :roll:

For those of you in the cheap seats, that was sarcasm.

Not fire bashing per se, but if they treat their own like that, call me a Medic ASAP!
