Transport time to closest hospital is 10 minutes and to the trauma center it is 40. We transport most trauma bls. Medics come along when there is loc or ams and life threatening injuries but if the injuries are that bad we usually fly. We very rarely transport with medics all the way to the...

Well we don't exactly know how far he fell. Sorry about the confusion. He said he was almost at the bottom but the wife said she heard him fall pretty far but she could have been exaggerating. He had a history of a brain bleed after a fall but it was 10 years ago. he was allergic to coedine...

I agree that we should have let the medics come in but I talked to a paramedic and he said they might not have been able to detect the fractures. I also agree that we should have went to the trauma center. His wife said he was drunk but i can't remember if he admitted it himself. Originally...

The only thing was he was drunk and he had a small laceration to his head. But he said he only fell from a couple steps up. Even if he did fall from the top'it was only 10 ft and significant mechanism is 15 ft so that was out thinking.

I took a motorcycle rider to the hospital. When we were Backboarding he said he needed to pee and then said he would give us 100 dollars to stop at a Dublin doughnuts and unbackboard him so he could go. Then at the hospital, the nurse asked what happened he said "someone cut me off, my bike...

I went on an MVA with entrapment that was fully engulfed. We had fire ems and PD from two towns squeezed on a two lane rd. After the call I talked to one of the dispatchers and he told me he got multiple calls from people asking if the police would open the road for them to get through. He...

We were sitting at the building for hours with nothing going on. We had been on a CO alarm but the lady was fine. Around 17:40 right before shift change the tones went out for a MVA with entrapment. We got in the rig and took off. It was on the line of our town and a neighboring town so both...

My first call was a mental health that we RMAd and I couldn't even go into the house because I was under 18. My first call as an EMT was cheat pains difficulty breathing but we cancelled medics. It was very routine.

In Jersey my clinical were a joke. I needed 10 hours and I couldn't ride with the medics because you had to be 18. So I went to the nearest level 2 trauma center. For the first hour I watched a working code which I didn't mind but I didn't do much and they weren't even ventilating, intubating...

I see your point, I do feel bad for the family and what they have to go through, I just can't see what could be so bad in a 20 something y/o kids life that he felt the need to hang himself.
