    Well, two ER calls today. Both receiving facilities *****ed my partner and I out about not diverting to a more appropriate facility.... ie, Doctors being lazy and not wanting to deal with what their being paid to do.

    Thought's on Pulse Oximeters

    I bought mine from CVS and it's fantastic for anyone without cold fingers. I highly recommend them for anyone on a BLS rig without cardiac monitors or ALS equipment. A digression, but I'm looking at the portable 3 lead as well (only since I'n dysrythmia certified

    24 hour shift we can sleep on. Any suggestions for passing time? NV- good man, way to get the stress out. As far as the 7 person transport. I saw 6 the most at one time. There was a 4 man crew for training, the PT and a family member. Looked like a clown car lol.

    SoCal people, how you dooin'?

    It's a bit chilly, round 35 at night for the last week or so. Personally I like cold weather in Cali, we dont get much for a change of seasons so the cold windy weather reminds me of the Christmas time we never really get. Trust me 70-80 and sunny does get old after a while..... say 22 years
