Wow, shorthairedpunk's whole family is involved in EMS, cool... is the name of your town Whackerville?

(that's a joke incase you haven't seen it elsewhere on the site)

Can't you just imagine the conversation around the dinner table?

Im going with 4. This way its not too crowded. But, thats usually not the case around here. If it comes over the radio as a full code, 20 people show up. Some I've never met! Then it gets crazy. 5 people are all trying to do the same thing and it just doesnt work. The last code we worked we had 5. 3 medics, and 2 emts. That was nice. I think we could have done with one less medic. Oh well.

Because we have had to manage so long with minimal help - my # is low.

1 to drive
1 for CPR
1 for Airway management
1 for drugs and Monitor

2 crews is all we are alloted, and it seems to work for us. In my volly area, there are many hands that have good intentions, but less personnel is easier for the Paramedics around here to manage.

Maybe one of them was pregnant? First tri-mester, if it's 5.3

Must also get sleep, but looking for #6000 first.
