Coming down the home stretch...hope you'll like it!
 
Crazy call. I went back to the rig to grab a blanket. Apparently while I was away, the pt went into asystole for a moment. As I come back in, he starts talking to us again, while my medic is still grabbing for drugs. And only then remembers to tell us about his vasovagal condition.

If patients randomly coming back to life when I walk in the door doesn't make me a white cloud, I don't know what does.

In other news, I finally have time to sleep but am wasting time on the internet instaed.
 
I didn't forget about you either... :beerchug:
Ok, a little better there.:P

Hey, have you ever read Mountain Responder by Steve Achelis? Is that anything like the real thing? It is a great read for me not being in mountain SAR. You would probably find it boring cause you actually get to do that stuff.......

Oh, and also, I'm not sure, but I didn't think that 5150s could be healthcare providers.......;) lol!

One for me... :beerchug: and one for my homie... :beerchug:

Never read it. Just finished reading Mountian Rescue Doctor by Dr. Christopher Van Tilburg, a member of the Crag Rats, a very old SAR Team in Washington, near Mt. Hood. WarDance recommended it. It was pretty good. Like all SAR Teams, they had policies and standards that differ from other Teams, some of which I disagree with. But all in all it captured the spirit and emotions that I believe can be found in SAR Rescuers and in the circumstances we put ourselves in, tragic and uplifting.

Oh, and also, I'm not sure, but I didn't think that 5150s could be healthcare providers.......;) lol!

If some of the folks on the forums can post what they do and then call themselves legit healthcare providers, a 5150 patient could be president of the US... oh, wait... naw... too easy... :P
 
That list of potential causes for the 5150 just got a lot narrower... :P

5150?
:huh: Whatever do ya mean? :huh:

No, but the last SAR relevant book I read was "Tracking: A Blueprint for Learning How" which was given to us during a Tracking L1 course. The book, interestingly enough, is written by some guy who used to be border patrol for southern states. Apparently he & his partner used the tracking to find a bunch o' Mexican fence-jumpers.

While the application is different for SAR, the skils are the same, and I encourage any outdoor activist, SAR or otherwise, to invest in some tracking experience.
 
You ever run across those pts that you know should really be 5150s but just don't meet the state requirements of a 5150? I'v got a friend in the Escondito PD who calls them a 5149 and 1/2.
 
Why does the POC for the OTEP I need to take never answer the phone? Why print the date/time and not the location? :rolleyes:
