    Just wait until the liquid spring doesn’t quite lower it. Or ask why they don’t have Powerloads despite literally every other 911 agency around them having them (and some IFT). Creek’s trucks kind of suck. And you missed the golden era of the old Brauns from the 1990s remounted with cheap...

    Apparently we just cut 50% of our mid-level management team for “financial reasons”. ROFL at “we care about your safety” (on 24/48s) and simultaneously complaining about costs, time-outs taken ( we do station-based SSM on our 24/48s) and overtime costs (once again, reference the utter stupidity...

    Maternal grandfather is circling the drain out in CA. Aspiration, persistent severe AMS, super-advanced cardiac failure, weird dysrhythmias and hypoxia. Hospice is keeping him relatively comfortable but I’m not going to be able to make it out quite yet.

    they have numbers lol. I was a 57/55/51 fan myself. Didn’t much care for East side, but 52 could get schwifty. For someone who drives mysterious, belligerent drunks home, you sure have weird paranoias.

    Yep. Not my job, not my problem. Not worth getting shot, stabbed or beaten to prevent.

    then I wouldn’t care one bit except to tell you it’s stupid and you should learn the EMS/public safety salute.

    Exemplary Private/Non-Profit Services?

    I’ve always really respected Hall and Harris County Emergency Corps. Not saying they don’t have issues, but Hall made a heck of an impression on me as a kid and their reputation is pretty solid even 20 years later. HCEC definitely has challenges as well, but in their current form they’re pretty...

    yep. There is absolutely no point in risking myself, my partner or my job to help some drunken idiot. Telling someone to toss the keys in an inaccessible location or requesting law enforcement is as far as I would go. And if you worked for me and were on-duty, and did as you did, I would...

    look, a huge part of this business is knowing when to not get involved. The bizarre scenario you just detailed is a textbook opportunity to make it not your problem.

    I love how Senõr Danger completely misses both the point and the fact that the examples of the USA and Sweden are being ravaged by preventable public communication while populations that don’t associate a cloth face mask and some personal space with tyranny are not.

    Coronavirus Discussion Thread

    Yes, there are life challenges posed by public-health measures. Doesn’t justify someone willfully engaging in behavior that poses a public health hazard. A very direct question for you: have you ever treated a COVID patient?
