the 100% directionless thread

I'm irritated.

There was a really educational thread on this site that got a little side tracked. Instead of just going through and editing or deleting bad posts, they delete the whole freaking thread! We lost all those really good threads talking about oxygen and asthma and such, all because the mods can't deal with a little controversy.

That makes me sad. You will sacrifice education to keep everyone humming kumbaya? That's just not right. Not in the least.

We are medical professionals, or at least some of us try to be, our main focus should be education relating to patients.

Have an exam tomorrow with new major information to memorize on top of brushing over all the old stuff. And my babysitter has screwed me over yet again. Is it bad to bribe kids with twizlers so you can get some time to study? :wacko:

For this you will die a thousand deaths... But it's okay... we will shock you over and over despite the asystole on the monitor and yell out things like "come back to us!" Of course... if we revive you and you prove to be annoying, we will have to hit you with versed... ^_^

Unh unh! No Versed, just Sux. Then you can tube em, bag em, and watch the terror in their eyes. (And then stop bagging for a second and they can't do a dang thing about it!)

All strangness aside... UPDATE:

Just finished up day two on mutual aid with plans to respond tomarrow (friday) morning... and (should things continue) on Saturday... Currently we have 9 Teams participating (extending from Tahoe to South of Yosemite), using dogs, trackers, atvs, horses, helicopters, and ground pounders...

http://www.mymotherlode.com/news/local/555336/Footprints-Found-In-The-Devin-Smith-Search.html

So,on that second story... yep, that was your good old friend Mountain... I was part of the team that spent 9 hours straight tracking these prints over 7 miles of hiking trail, game trail, jeep trail, over mountains, through creeks, and deep through the brush... Still not 100% postive that it was the subject, but initial indicators said YES... Did some tracking today and then took it easy (considering my lack of sleep) and worked a new (more open) area... Tomarrow, they have requested that our team respond with ATVs...

So... to bed I go... behave all you malcontents...

Any chance this guy isn't missing, but got a bad case of cold feet and just took off? Out of morbid curiousity you now have me interested.

LOL... Trust me, with the number of SAR Coordinators and Search Managers we had there, every possibility was discused, as we truely have seen it all... Nothing shocks me anymore...

However, it should be noted that I am home right now (1930) instead of the 2300 I have been getting home at the last two days...

And Medically:
http://www.uniondemocrat.com/2009100298001/News/Local-News/Doc-says-hunter-OK

Statistically speaking, if a subject is missing for over 72 hours the chances of him/her surviving drops to 4%. Well, despite the 1 in 25 shot... he was located... actually made his way out of the wilderness on his own after 4 days in the woods to a location 10-12 miles south of the Last Known Point... over mountian and ridges... and through drainages and rivers...

It was a great search in which the entire operation was run 95% smoothly. Over 120 Rescuers from 10 County Sheriff's SAR Teams participated in the search (from as far south as below Yosemite to as far north as above Tahoe and as far west as Marin), in addition to the 2 Highway Patrol Helicopter and the California Rescue Dog Association. We used tracking, dogs, the helos, atvs, horses, and I spent a good 35 hours over the last 3 days (including 15 hours straight out tracking and signcutting)... I think I have had about 10 hours sleep over the last 3 days... itwas exhausting and I am in pain right now... IT WAS GREAT!!!
