@GMCmedic your service is crazy with this fent suiting up...

The American College of Medical Toxicology and American Academy of Clinical Toxicology just issued a statement saying, inter alia:
To date, we have not seen reports of emergency responders developing signs or symptoms consistent with opioid toxicity from incidental contact with opioids {Bold/italic/underline mine]. Incidental dermal absorption is unlikely to cause opioid toxicity. For routine handling of drug, nitrile gloves provide sufficient dermal protection. In exceptional circumstances where there are drug particles or droplets suspended in the air, an N95 respirator provides sufficient protection.

Thats life in a hospital based county service in the midwest. The State thinks were the next terrorist target, the hospitals still screen for Ebola and have had 0 patients since Ebola became cool, and our hospital will buy us more stuff to never use and cry about the cost of new monitors at the budget meeting.

Do you guys really do refusals for all of those patients?

For an MCI out here fire will get a blank sheet of paper and have everyone sign and print their name saying they refuse treatment/transport.

Stupid idiot idea. There's "MCI refusals" so name, address, DOB in ESO... but ESO makes you add more fields, and we have to attach the paper signature sheet to each... oh and did I mention that pretty much all of them were minors?

As someone who works in public health preparedness, and works closely with the hospitals and health care coalitions, I struggle with this regularly.

So you are gonna repair your truck?
Rather then spend 4-5 grand on a potential lemon more or less sight unseen.....with the reman engine costing pretty much the same as a used car, and seeing ads where 6 grand is pretty much the bottom I've seen (except for Craigslist and Facebook buy/sell groups)....I decided to spend that on my own truck.....where a new(?) remanufactured engine, a manifold, some other minor parts and labor and sales tax and all came out to 6100 out the door (still about, oh say, 6 grand more than I wanted to spend in the first place lol)
