    WaukBoard

    I have been thinking of getting one to see how it would work. I see the benefits of them. They used to have wheels you can attach to a board but you'd make stirrups to keep the patient up right. That took time. This seems slick.

    Initial Assessment Question

    Yes back in the day we called it the 4 foot assessment, then primary assessment now initial assessment. Your secondary assessment is when you dig in and figure those things out.

    Sorry excuse for flight medics or anyone in this field.

    Even though this has been beaten like a stubborn horse, the use of equipment to verify placement is essential. Once when I was flying we were moving the patient a 3 year old to the helicopter, the medic on scene was bagging the patient until we could get to the vent. He stumbled briefly and...

    Las Vegas Fire looking to take over transports from AMR

    Wow so much for a Governmental agency not being in direct competition with private enterprise. Sounds like the DOG SIT mentality. I bet Mark is beside himself.

    I did miss type. It was an XDS, not an XD. Gun broker has them with one standard clip for $539 so I think this is a reasonable price.

    Left Behind Gurney

    This happened to us once. The rig was at the county maintenance shop having service done. The crew prior to us took all the equipment out of it. The maintenance guy brought it back and parked it. Shift change occurred and no one told our crew what happened. So as we went to check in the...

    Good points. I thought it may be a great product for our medics ergonomic ally. Thanks for the input. We in iowa still use backboards but there is talk about going away from them.

    Palm gauge or loose gauge BP cuffs?

    I like the Tyco handheld unit, lifetime warranty, ease of use and the gauge is so easy to work when you have it in your hand.

    I use shears to cut the feet off pheasants as well to make them easier to strip and clean.

    The diet has a lot of other things with it. Yeah I paid it and lost a good deal of weight. What do you pay for weight watchers and other programs? I think $12 is worth it.

    Man have you ever heard of the 4 hour body? I did it. Lost 31 lbs in two months, then lost 24 lbs in the next three. I will try to find it on Amazon and shoot the link you way. The thing I like about it is the fact that the guy isn't some health food guru/muscle bound coach/or doctor he is...

    WaukBoard

    The Waukboard basically has the flip out foot board and wheels to make it easy to stand a person up and wheel them around on a board in tight spaces. I was just looking at them for our service and wanted to know if anyone had them. I know some services that have the wheels that attach to a...

    Yes the XD9 is a great weapon IRS4you.com has them for sale right now for $599 with two 7 round clips. I was considering getting one. I also was thinking about a Smith and Wesson SD40 VE I haven't shot one yet however. But at under $400 it looks like a pretty good choice. Any thoughts?

    Easy Cap

    I was just curious how many services are still using the Easy Cap as a way of determining ET Tube placement in addition to ETCo2.
