    Patients who need to go to the hospital but refuse.

    I was Figuring it was a minor/altered pt given the getting parents involved angle, not to mention the whole wish to die thing was what I was getting at, but I was at a loss for words as to how to articulate it properly. Luckily, I haven't had any continue to refuse after I've done the whole fire...

    Patients who need to go to the hospital but refuse.

    And while this may sound worse than intended, if they're bleeding that badly, I imagine they'd eventually lose consciousness. Then you should be good to go with transporting under implied consent

    Halloween 2013

    Was it on congress st or forest ave by chance? If so, that was probably my cousin. He sent me a text that he got caught out and his DD was nowhere to be found, so he borrowed a friend's bike and rode back to his apartment.

    the 100% directionless thread

    Ever wonder what happens when pumpkins, scarecrows, various firearms, and tannerite canisters converge? Well wonder no more. From a shoot I was unable to make because I couldn't get Saturday off. Damn being responsible(which loosely translates to being low on PTO)

    I can see where you are coming from, but I personally disagree. The hospice runs tend to be pretty easy professionally to deal with. Then again, I've never seen an incoming hospice patient that didn't have a valid DNR.

    It's too damn hot. 3rd day straight of 105+ in the part of KS I'm in.

    As long as it. Doesn't wrap itself in bacon, we should be good to go. If it does, then the terminator movies were right.

    Hailing CMED

    Assuming you're in MA, here's my "script". Substitute northeast for whichever CMED you'd be calling "Northeast CMED, Northeast CMED. (Company redacted) (unit #) requesting entry note to (hospital name)." The CMED dispatcher will acknowledge the transmission and direct you to the appropriate...

    Brings to mind the quote that something that bleeds for 5 days straight and doesn't die is inherently evil....

    Second job NOT related to EMS?

    It's iffy on whether it applies to EMS, but I occasionally work at a funeral home. It is kinda odd getting a call for a wake/funeral on my cell at work a few hours after working them. Yes, I turn those jobs down. I also work at a florist delivering, some DJing, and I'm trying to figure out how...

    Action Ambulance

    I know a few emts/medics, and the guy that runs their in-house EMT program. Seems to be a decent company, play is comparable to other companies in the area, but no knowledge of their west operations

    As for the Guinness, it's a good stout, but there are many that are better, if hard to find sometimes. Murphy's, Killian's, Harpoon, and Samuel Adams, all make good Guinness alternatives. The only issue is that Guinness is (at least IMO) the only stout that you can find just about anywhere...

    Jameson's is good in a pinch, but its the equivalent of what Jack Daniels is to bourbon(and yes, I know JD isn't truly bourbon). Meh whiskey with a great marketing campaign. Haven't had Kilbeggan, so i cant comment on it. I will have to keep an eye out for it. Bushmills is my go to Irish...
