Are you a flight paramedic? That's AWESOME.

EDIT: Fixed, happy? :P

Laziness. I R Teh Sloth ;-)

Alright. Let's do this!

How did I know that was going to be the first response to my post... Touché. That on the other hand, might be a mistake in the way we're trained. Still. Oxygen isn't part of your "do this before you even enter the scene." (Whatever. I opened my mouth, and you promptly closed it.) My...

Think back to your training, long long ago... S - STOP (Collaborate and listen... ice is back with a brand new invention... :P) E - Yada T - Yada U - Yada P - Personal Protective Equipment! Put it on. No gloves = fail in your exam, so why should you get away with it in real life...

Great vid, keep in mind, NSFW (Language, gore, etc...) Love it though!

I run with the Infomed Yellow (BLS) one up here, with plenty of little notes from myself taped in with medical tape near the back. (All of our drug protocols, to be specific). I'm probably going to pop for the ALS one just for reading material though, I really LOVE these guides. EDIT: Speaking...

Priceless. Horray for canadian content! :P

I hope you're doing this for your own knowledge/business, and not to further (or create) a case of whackerism in yourself... Either way, keep in mind, the LEDs used in light-bars are high output, and usually require heatsinks, and/or special transformers "drivers" for them. There's plenty of...

Impressive. +3 Kudos to you.

EDIT: Found it. Definitely useful notes for tough extrications where C-Spine can be assumed comprimised.

As funny as it might look, I bet that rig is a treat to do maintenance on because all of the wiring and harnesses are not only clean, but neatly organized and out of the way... Though, Pimp-My-Rig still stands ;-)

Is it wrong that the last shot of the engine bay turns me on? j/k! For an operational vehicle, that's a CLEAN bay. More shots of your helos!

Understood. That's what I was looking for... I've never responded to a call like this, nor have we encountered it in training. I'd immediately default to higher medical authority's advice in such a situation. By the time they'd have to be removed, EMS would be on scene, and I wouldn't be needed...

[THIS IS NOT THE ANSWER], but my instinct would be to go: - manual c-spine - collar - KED (somehow?) THEN try to have the patient extricated, or vehicle rolled over or what not. That being said, I don't actually know the real answer, so if anyone from fire, or who has worked in this...

(kidding, but) it might have been less hassle (at least, less paperwork) to have hit the idiot that ran out...

Let's lighten this up by laughing at some POV's that people have posted on Ye Olde Noob-Tube... EDIT: I apologise if any of these are actual dept. units, I just grabbed whichever ones looked most likely to be daily drivers / daily over-compensators... (oops, did I say that out loud...

On an ambulance... no, but on a police car... sure helps sort out the drunken fighters! I was on a call last year late october with a group of 4-5 "frequent drunks" at our campus pub. One decided tonight was a good night to start some stuff with the security guards, so we flagged down an...

+1 Also, our new uniforms have a radio clip near the shoulder on them, which means less fumbling.
