Here in sunny Florida, medical control is our online physician based out of one of our local hospitals. One of the ED docs there is one of our 3 or 4 medical directors. He makes sure that the doctor that is the "keeper or the radio" is fully aware of our standing protocols and how far outside of...

When I first started with the company I am currently with (10yr anniversary coming up) I, a 5'6" tall female, was precepted by 2 of the best women. One was 5' and the other was 5'2". Neither one of them had an issue with loading the stretcher. But, that was before we got these monstrosities...

absolutely heart warming...

This is truly sad. Prayers to the Braves families

I wish more people, from the companies that we get equipment from, would pop their heads in here more often. This is awesome and thank you for the explanation.

Unless you were advised via radio that there was an emergent pt awaiting transport, no, there is no legal recourse. If you were to have gotten into a crash on your way back to the stadium for "stand by", a prosecutor could argue that there was no immediate life threat that you were responding...

That must be a california thing, because out here in FL, they used to have someone at the testing sites to recruit those that just passed their state exams. It really wouldn't hurt to apply there anyway, or any of them for that matter. The worst they can tell you is no. Good luck

Also, most companies offer EAP to their employees. Even if you do not take part in CISM, or that is not offered to you, EAP is free and you can have up to 6 visits per issue per year. My thoughts and prayers to you, your co-workers and the families of those lost.

I believe this is a different wreck. It says they were traveling in the same direction.

sorry about your loss Chimpie. She is in great company - both of my grandfathers are up there... they will keep her laughing...

well, that is rude... and it is much later there than it is here.

That gift trumps anything any one of us got. Tell him thank you for me. Glad he is home safe and sound.

:rofl:

I was there a few years ago. But the meds that I have been using are no longer working. I had tried OTC, herbal, exercise, meditation, you name it. I need to take a week off from work, detox the current med and try all that other stuff again. edit - ok not "there" as in as bad as MJ, but...

I wish it was only occasionally. Every night. But once I fall asleep, unless my alarm goes off, I can sleep. It is the falling asleep that I have the issue with.

umm, yeah, no. i would rather not sleep at all than go that route
