pov emergency light placement

Okay, I don't particularly like beer, but I'll open up a nice box of wine for me and airwaygoddess..... and instead of chips.. I'm opening up a big Costco bag of pistachios and putting out a bowl for shells.

The best placement for POV lights is in the box they were shipped in. If the history of your department shows that responders with lights cut someone off, it shouldn't matter who that person has for friends. Gotta wonder, if it would have been okay to cut someone one who isn't friends of the mayor? POV lights don't work, don't help and give the responder a feeling of importance that isn't warranted.

I'm a volly in rural EMS and I respond POV. The few times I've been responding to a critical call in my POV and find myself behind some 83 yo in an RV the size of a small apartment building doing 28mph in a 50mph zone, it reminds me to slow down, be safe, and generally take the time to reflect on the 'need' for urgency.
 
Just as an added point

i remember reading a very good piece recently stating that excessive speed while responding should not be encouraged, their being VERY few cases where and extra min or 2 will have any negitive impact on the condition
 
Awwwe! Look at this. An EMTLife family reunion ^_^. All sittin down for chips, beer, wine, and pistachios.
 
:lol: :P
We'll I'll bring some stuff from BC, and you bring some stuff from up north :D
 
Since KEV is busy with his beer, I will do his job for him:

DO A SEARCH!
 
The best place is the most visible to the drivers and LEAST visible (flashback) to you. My lights (no more:blink:) were centered, seemed to work.

I'm more of a wine fan myself. Can I be added to the mix? However, I prefer bottles :P

i was just going to let the rampant mocking take over on this one, but thanks for the back up.
 
Nothing classyer than a box of wine,


reminds me of the student and festivle nights,,

Whats the cost of shippign a keg transatlantic? Guinness anyone?
 
we've got it over here. it isnt as fresh and therefore cant be as good, but we do have it.

i wish we had the foreign extra over here though...

I'm in. Guinness... it's a meal!

Car Bombs, anyone?


As for Bossy's Box O' Wine... last month was a really good year!

I too shall enjoy the pistachios... and KevD and I will be sitting and working on some Sam Adams... maybe the Octoberfest?
 
Sorry guys, but as a native to Saint Louis...I'm going to have to drink my Bud.
 
All whackerness aside...

if the agency/dept. that the original poster works for mandates the use of lights in a personal vehicle, why not simply offer some legitimate suggestions?

If it's just another case of "whackerness" run amok, well, who cares really?

John E.

Won't be asking about ideas for any lights in my personal vehicle, even though I use it for work all the time...
 
i think the idea here is to demonstrate that the majority of the members here are sick of all the whackerness and this is how i(we) are lashing out. add to the the growing annoyance in people not searching before posting(a movement im proud to say i was in front of) and you have a thread that ought to be approaching two pages soon of dissent.
 
oh and jon the beers in the fridge. i have popcorn, njnewb has the chips, theres some fermented grape juice around somewhere. we're pretty well stocked for this one.
 
but if i posted it over it would be the real stuff not a British or Canadian or nigearian knock off.

And you can taste the difference.
 
Random.. but..

Ya know.. I'm Irish.. I think I should come to Ireland and try out some of your beer.
 
We do several very good stouts and a nice cider vintage.

Not a big fan of the yellow pales myself, bud, Corslight etc,


But anytime i'm sure a session could be arranged
 
my general rule of thumb is if i can read a paper through a pint of beer, i wont drink it(unless its free adn the only thing available).

so this rules out bud/light, coors/light, miller/light, corona/light, and all of your college beers(natty ice, pbr, bush light etc).

i rarely have more than three or four at a time so its all about quality. big fan of the sam adams line(well, most of it)

Monty Python said it best... When they intro their Philosopher's drinking song... the Bruce's come on stage drinking Fosters. They say they can't stand American beer... they compare it to making love in a canoe... and we'll leave it at that :).
