And... Why are they driving with the lights on everywhere? Like to post and just to get coffee?

Ugh..I really wish the website didn't block us non-cable-subscribers from watching.

Are you sure it's not just creative editing?
 
Lacey... Stick to your studies; not what you see on TV.

Angel...
Anytime you want to trade pix... I'll let you judge how "hott" I am.

Chimpie... Why are you blocked?! You can catch every episode on DVR. It definitely isn't editing. The lights flashing are legit.
 
So the blue and yellow reflective jackets they have... Does anyone recognise them? I'm looking for something warm, waterproof and bright / reflective but everything I've found cost $$$

Because I don't have cable. When I try to watch on A&E's website you have to log in with your cable provider's info, which I don't have. :(
 
From the Last episode does any other services use the LUCAS CPR? I had never seen that before!

One of their Batt Chief's (or similar rank) has been posting on Facebook comment threads clearing up misconceptions.

They run nearly everything Lights and Sirens, Code <RANDOM NUMBER FOR YOUR SERVICE AREA HERE>, 10-18, We Do What Doctor's Do But at 8,000 MPH (<MORE> KPH), Delta, Indigo, Status 90, whatever you may call it. Why? Apparently if there are not enough units they go "HOT" to it all.

We do and I love them. I've used the Zoll Autopulse before and vastly prefer our LUCAS. These are actually the LUCAS 2 since they're powered by batteries. I've never seen the original LUCAS, but I believe they were unbelievably unwieldy and bulky monsters powered by the souls of O2 cylinders.
 
Thats awesome! I hope i get to see one in person one day!! I dont think the services here have them :( I guess i will find out on clinicals
 
While the LUCAS 2's are awesome, they can really mess someone up. We have one in the ER and apparently, it shredded someones soft tissue down to the mediastinum on a frail, old lady once. Really bloody, cause blood to shoot up the ET tube and all.

The LUCAS 2 is fantastic. If the're not positioned correctly, they can cause some damage. Use the neck strap or the device tends to become misaligned. They do have a min/max weight limit. They don't fit or work well on tiny or huge folks.
 
We've got Lucas in one of the ERs we frequent. I Tele in... "Get Lucas ready." We refer to him as a person.

The charge RN loves it. He's rough though, that's for sure.
 
You'd think with the amount of codes we run here we'd all have them.

City Fire uses the auto pulse, or however it's spelled. I'm not really a fan.

Truly effective manual compressions are just as damaging. Perhaps placement was not correct. We do not use the geezer squeezer nor have one in our ED, and whenever a crew comes in with it deployed we have them DC it almost right away.

May I ask why you DC it?
