You dont have to :ph34r: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsIHyRyETKg&feature=related

Looking at the drivers side's condition, I'm willing to bet they had some reason to do so. It sounds like it was a frontal/left side collision.

I'd be interested to know what condition she was in that would have rendered her unconscious after about an hour without supplied oxygen, she might not have been long for this world regardless.

Good for them, cant be more then $200,000 each :P

Do you have a specialized dispatch system in place already? Or do you get handed calls from the regular system that oversees your district?

Training in what? Or are you the one giving the training? B)

Just open the closet door and sweep away the monsters :P

Dealing in absolutes... ...means that everyone loses absolutely. Nobody here is saying that a victim with an unknown psychological condition possibly brought on by traumatic events should be free to carry a weapon into essentially, a closed box on wheels. Conversely, nobody is saying that an...

I will not comment on who to blame, as that would not solve the problem; we must identify it first. What is happening now, is oil is being observed leaking around the pipe, meaning that the subsurface itself is losing its structural integrity. If the seafloor ruptures, we will find it much more...

Well, everything short of a debridement would be fun. Otherwise, that's like jumping into the sea of medicine and cutting the floaties :P

I'd absolutely love to get into the OR and watch for a while, but it would most likely happen towards the tail end of my shadowing at the hospital, if at all. They've been pretty busy lately, what with the movement of Walter reed and all, so it might be better to wait until things quiet down a...

Do you generally have to cut the ring in two places to completely remove it, or does it "slide off" after being cut once?

+100 In a similar note, has anyone here actually been in a situation where they rendered more care then a civilian/MFR in an emergency incident?

I want to see as much as possible, of course, but I'm doubtful they'd let me go into a sterile OR environment, what with the fact that i'm not a medical professional and all. I appreciate all of the suggestions, please keep em flowing :)

Do you have any other ways to get to work, or will transportation be an issue now?

I'd call 911, and if the scene could be determined safe, talk through with the victims to keep them (more or less) calm. Other then that, there's sadly not much more I could do in the ways of extrication given my current level/equipment.

Well, to be honest, I don't see myself (at least at the moment) making my career out of EMS. I'd like to be a doctor, but still have connections to EMS for several purposes. At the moment, this is not going to be a long term thing over the summer, going from a few weeks to a month. In the...

This whole thing is like a tumor on public health... ...and the longer it was allowed to fester, the more painful the removal will be. After all, not only will these people (hopefully) be removed from capacities where professionals are needed, public opinion could become increasingly suspicious...

Slightly different from regular clinicals- I will be shadowing/sub-interning at NNMC/WRAMC over the summer (not involved with any EMS programs), and will be given the chance to a. Shadow my PCP, in pediatrics b. Upon gaining permission, shadow other fields. My question is, would it be...
