Really?

I've never had an issue figuring out how to use any of our equipment. Also the two new guys that have ridden FTO time with my partner and I have never had a problem either. Maybe I just give people too much credit?

I guess it helps that Stryker had the brilliant idea to make anything that causes a part of the equipment to fold/unfold/move bright red.

That's why I love the fact that for our company we all (old and new employees) get trained on how to use the stair chair.
 
I'm like two minutes from fireman carrying this dude up the stairs.
 
Either stair chairs aren't that complicated or I'm a friggin genius.

Ummm... I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that given the alternative: Definitely the FIRST ONE!

We use the stairchair in our pre-employment lift test so that probably has something to do with why all the newbies know how they work.

The tracked Strykers are like cheating though. If push came to shove I could take a 200 pounder down a set of stairs by myself and I'm a little guy. Hell I watched one of our tiny female medics go down a set of stairs with the 200 lb dummy alone just to prove to the new hires it was possible. They are that operator friendly.
 
I'm home now. Going to sleep a bit. Back in the truck tomorrow. It'll be okay. I think the kid will be okay, too.

It's just that my son is 16. Kinda hit close to home. :/

Worked (and subsequently called) a 2 y/o swimming pool drowning with a 2 y/o daughter at the house. I know the feeling. Feel free to get in touch if you need to.
 
I've been seriously examining certain parts of my life in the last month or so. It's time for a different direction.

I'm sorry :( That's a terrible way to end a night
 
It's all good. Thanks guys. I'm going to call up to the trauma center and get an update.
 
Well, I'll be. He's already extubated, no neuro deficits. Going home tomorrow.

Thank God for positive outcomes.
