I've been kicking back a bit since getting back from college for the summer and I've herad some great radio transmissions:
Just now:
Receiving Hospital: Medic Calling can you repeat your unit number and cheif complaint, the front of that transmission was choppy.
Medic: Sure, we're Township Medic and the CC is "Too Much Alcohol"
RH (sarcastic and exaggerated):Oh thank you SOOOOOO MUCH!
Medic: You're VERY Welcome Ma'am!
Also a couple of days ago a medevac helicopter was having a lot of issues with choosing the right channel:
on talkgroup 10Grant:
Helicopter: Air 3 is coming from Marion General with... [Transmits a 2 minute message on the patient's status and goes back and forth with Grant]
Grant: I'm sorry did you say the patient was intubated with a 4.0 tube?
Heli: Yes
Grant: What's this patient's age?
Heli: He's 11 years old.
Grant: Is there any reason the patient is not going to Childrens? (in reference to a hospital that is 3 blocks away)
Heli: Sorry I thought this was Childrens, disregard.
on Talkgroup 10DRsWest:
Helicopter: Air 3 to Childrens
DW: This is Doctor's West, not Childrens, Air 3. (I was surprised someone was actially listening to the radio, usually they are just near it and take a few seconds to respond which is how I assume the grant mixup above happened. No one heard them calling childrens.)
Heli: Sorry, disregard, Air 3 clear.
on TalkGroup 10Grant:
Helicopter: Air 3 to Childrens
Grant: I think that was Air 3 Calling again, if so this is still Grant, your radio might be stuck on our channel.
Heli(disgruntled): disreagard
on Talkgroup 10Childrens:
Helicopter: Childrens to Air 3
Childrens: Ummm... Medic Calling reidentify and go ahead.
Heli: Air 3 this is childrens inbound to your facility, how do you read our transmission?
Childrens (trying hard to contain laughter): Air 3, WE'RE Childrens, and YOU'RE Air 3, but at least you're on the right channel this time. I read you loud and clear, go ahead with report.
Turns out, one of the medics from a different company standing near the communications center of childrens had his radio from his run still on and the comm nurse heard all of the calls to the wrong hospital!
I'll have more stories of my semester in the Peds ER when i get some more time!
