Had a rep bring one out to us but we weren't really impressed with the rep. Seemed like everything was optional. Rep really couldn't answer our questions either. Just my humble opinion they weren't as good as the Stryker version. We have the Stryker Power cot's and love em!

Probably still be delivering home oxygen.

That's a good one!!!!!!

Probably one of the best ones was we were working a cardiac arrest and one of the medics goes to start an IO in the pt. He pushes the needle carefully through the skin and goes to drill. As he pushes on the needle it bends!!!!! He calmly and nonshelantly pulls out the needle, looks at it and...

I don't know about ours. We stopped before going into the water when the FD first responders (who were pulling a boat by the way) flooded the truck with water up to the windows!:wacko:

How to make sure that you are DEFINITELY NOT CONFUSED FOR COPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:PB)

My personal highest that I've seen was 2400....Conscious and breathing!? Just felt funny......:unsure:

Sleep? What's that? LOL We don't need no stinking sleep!

kristen, YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!I would have done the same things that you did. Keep the pt. as calm as you can through BLS means!!!!!!! Sounds like the Doc needs to ride on the streets for a while. See if he/she could get the pt. to settle down. Anyway, I think you did the...

Hockey, We have Road Safety as well. It sounds like there is something seriously wrong with those units!!!!!!!! Have you asked them to test the unit in that truck to make sure that it is working right? Also, is this aimed at just you or does anyone else have this problem with that truck...

As I see many have told you that, yes this is possible. I have done this myself only mine was in what I thought was an AC vein. No pulsation, did think it was an odd color to the blood. One of the nurses in the ER noticed that there was blood pulsating in the saline lock. Go figure!

This is definitely an ALS run in my book. Don't know what happened exactly but is there a protocol or standing order for a Paramedic intercept while they were enroute to the hospital? It's hard to believe that there are services out there that don't have at least 1 Medic on each truck? I...

High Water warning Today watched a FF/Paramedic drive a grass truck through high water (about 48" worth) trying to get to a possible stroke pt. They did reach the pt. (after the truck stalled at least 3 times in the water) and convinced her that she should go into the hospital to be evaluated...

Yea, it's got to be one of the most aweful ways to go isn't it?

DON'T GIVE UP! Just review what you learned, relax, and remember your ABC's.

Wow! There are a bunch of youngn's around here! LOL!! I'll be 39 in a few days and an EMT-P.

That's just wrong!!!:P (but funny:))

Flooding Where's Noah when you need him?! Over the last 2 days we've had about 3-4" of rain. Lots of local flooding going on. Then we've had a LOT of high winds which did start to dry it out again. Then you have those intelligent people who think that because they drive a large SUV that they...

Lucid... Are you talking about R/M Aurora? If so I'll check with my brother to see if that's true, he works there

Congrats!! Sounds like y'all had a fun time, EH!:P
