I'm looking for:

A nice portable Suction unit
a set of 6 board splints
a short board
an adult traction splint


Anyone knows of any, PM me.
 
You do have way to much time on your hands!! :D I still cannot quite picture your vehicle set up like you described. Sounds really ugly though... :lol:

Yeah - I do a lot of First Aid for Boy Scouts. The Traction Splint would be more for "showing off the cool toy."

I think he was talking to me... He insulted the whacker vehicle, so I removed my post & picture...


I'm thinking about getting a QRS License. It would keep me busy.

But seriously, look on eBay! You can get all that stuff for under 100 bucks.

I just bought 2,300.00 worth of new equipment for 157.50

You had a picture? I want to see! To each their own really.

I bought a Galls BLS jump kit more than two years ago and keep it in my trunk. Since then I've had to refill it several times. Just yesterday I was out there getting a bandage for my roomate's sprained ankle.

Another life saved :)

First of all:

Secondly, I am in the process of getting QRS recognicion(sp?), and it isn't easy.

I will have a Picture up when it's done.

There, there's one for each of you! :D

One of these days, when I have a couple of hours to spare, I'll unpack my jump kit and take pictures of it and my vehicle. I'm not the King Whacker, but I'm definately one of the royal family. :lol:
 
Is that picture serious?

How do you convince your significant other / family to let you have a stretcher in the back of your car? Would you really transport someone in the back of your car?

Warning Label: FOR ENTERTAINMENT USE ONLY

I don't keep it in there... I just put it in there for the pictures.

Besides, the head of the stretcher doesn't come down (it's a cot from 1978 and it's severely broken); note the lifting bar is missing. And the head of it touches the ceiling, so only resusci-anne fits for the car show. Plus, there is no way to keep it from moving around, except stuffing the rear full of crap.

The amount of head room in the escape (from the floor of the rear to the ceiling) is less than most Car Chassis ambulances. It would be impossible to use it as an ambulance, I just put it all together for a whacker of the year photo contest. People thought it was funny as hell, so I put it together every time I get a new piece of vintage ambulance equipment... Some day I'm just going to break down and buy an old ambulance for car shows. Our FD put all the old ones in a field nearby w/ the old trucks, so it's just a matter of pulling off the tarp and estimating the restoration cost. :huh:
 
cbd... you don't want to know. It's not always a good thing.

Only people who don't understand a whacker think it's a bad thing.

I am called a whacker b/c I have an unusual amount of equipment. I live in #1 The middle of nowhere, we're talking zip code EIEIO; #2 An area that has only one service; #3 In an area where if we had a blizzard, I would be the only medical assistance on the mountain.

I don't keep it in my vehicle, (I have a small iron duck trauma bag-no oxygen) the mother load sits quietly in a storage cabinet in a spare bedroom. I have used it many times... I own that red light (came off a police motorcycle from the 50's or earlier), and a small blue light-doesn't work b/c it fell off and shattered. And the only ems wear I have are PA DOH EMT shirts that I use for events when a uniform is not going to be comfortable.

Bad Whackers:
Go to everyone elses call, get in the way..
Found EMT card in cracker jack box..
Wear most portable equipment on waist.. Doesn't know how to use it..

Puts family in debt buying gear..
Illegal vehicle lights..

Runs with a QRS agency, never treats a patient, never rode in an ambulance, patient contact time less than 5 minutes on a call every three months... forgets that he/she has a job to do and it's not all about toys, gadgets, lights, and novelty t-shirts.

does it make you a bad whacker if you meet most of "good whacker" and fail on the "whacker belt???"

I am a guard, and have to carry a radio and other junk, so I've got a radio pouch w/gloves, pager case (work issued pager), phone case, key clip, and flashlight.

do I pass or fail.....

If you're required it's ok. But YOU Jon, are still a whacker.

Key clip - needed
radio holder - prefer to have, gives me a glove holder
flashlight - 9pm here is real dark
pager - required
phone - not supposed to, but use it all the time to call dispatch

I know I'm a whacker, but a good whacker or bad whacker?????

My personal jump kit is nicely equipped ;) B) :rolleyes:
It DOES NOT LIVE IN A CAR (only used for Boy Scout first aid stuff)

I have a blue light, not on a vehicle, but only 'cause it was a REALLY GOOD DEAL ( :unsure: I think I just sealed my fate)

-Jon
 
I guess that means that I'm a good whacker... for now
I have a trauma kit, D cyl of 02 with a 0.5-15 regulator, KED, Nomex Jump suit (worn only with my old fire co.), and hide-a-way strobes.

Belt- Hand-cuff case (5 pair of gloves), glove pouch (2-3 pair of gloves) and nextel

Does anyone disagree with the good whacker aspect?






shut-up Jon
