    Should EMS/Fire be armed?

    Sounds like a not so fun experience. Guess he should have taken half a second to see what was going on and maybe think through the process

    Should EMS/Fire be armed?

    I hear you there. I’ve been in the back with patients after they have been sprayed and it lingers on the skin and clothes, off gassing or something cause it’s not comfortable but at least it isn’t as bad as when it’s first sprayed.

    Should EMS/Fire be armed?

    Dude if you do the pepper spray in the back of the rig, film it please. Yes I know you’re kidding, but it would be a hilarious thing to watch from afar.

    Hospitals doing Procedures on Gurney

    Probably should have explained it better but when you’re sitting against the wall and the patient starts having a seizure they do realize pretty quick that they need to start caring for that patient. I remember the days at County USC before the new hospital where you’d line up the patients on...

    Hospitals doing Procedures on Gurney

    No problem there is lots of bad information out there. Technically speaking you’ve turned over care as soon as you are within 250 ft of the hospital.

    Hospitals doing Procedures on Gurney

    They are in the hospitals care, just not on their stretcher yet. It’s not too uncommon in LA to have patients being treated on your stretcher.

    Hall Air

    A better sign off than others I’ve had.

    That’s why I stopped signing up for OT for a while. I’d sign up and still get hit with mandatory Ot.

    Movie Marathon Thread

    Just finished Obi-Wan myself. I thought it was pretty good. Couple plot holes for the later films, but nothing to earth shattering to ruin anything. Definitely worth binge watching over the past two days.

    Hello

    We got issued radios when there was a screw up and we got about triple our normal allotment of radios. Some take them home. I leave mine on the charger at work and that way I don’t have to worry about losing it.

    The Gun Thread

    Yeah good luck with that. I do long distance shooting with my AR and the typical setup I use runs about 3-4K with optic and mount included. Ammo is the real killer. Can’t find the good stuff easily and I don’t reload.

    Jury awards nearly $50 million after Fresno County man injured in ambulance ride

    Not a lot of actual information but the short deliberation time it was probably not high quality care if I had to guess

    new to ems, I hear the pager/radio go off at home.

    I’ve done the wake up where the heck am I a few times. It gets old after a while but I guess it’s part of the job. Losing your mind that is.

    2 EMT's and several others shot

    You don’t. Put a jacket or brush coat over it.

    COVID VACCINE - The Megathread

    That’s not too bad. Since the whole point of the vaccine is more for the prevention of hospitalization and not just not getting the virus. I think they would have had a better time if they concentrated on making people understand that preventing hospitalization is the reason they are pushing the...

    It’s not that most all of the time. Most car crashes are also very rarely that serious anyways.

    Drank some whiskey and beer at a friend’s house last night and now I’m the only one up at the moment. Been up since just before 6am. Only part that sucks about being in a small town is nothing is open yet on a Sunday. I either need to eat, puke, or hydrate more. Already working on hydration but...

    Dying patient left on apartment floor

    David is pretty good at this sort of thing, especially noting all the mitigating factors involved.

    EMT Oath- My problem

    I agree. I’m calling BS too. I used to work and live in LA and never heard anything like this ever. Still know a few guys out there and they’d have heard about something like this.
