Omg I was so excited. I get to drive the new ambulance today.

And saw a lifepack 9. Lol

Oh, purdy. I always liked how Deemers does the molded lights, especially compared to the new cheapy light bars that is just 2 forward white strobes and to 45 degree red strobes.

A lifepak 9, eh? An old standby?

Back in my day we had a LifePack 5 as a reserve and we were happy by God.

You left out having to refuel it with hay after every call.

I lol'led very much. Especially when I looked up how old it was (well, not exactly: the LifePak 10 is from 1994 and the 11 from 1995 (http://www.emsmuseum.org/virtual-mu...articles/398872-1994-Defibrillator-LifePak-10). So...yeah...I was 2 when that puppy came out.

:blink:

Granted I'm not exactly old, and the system I started in was a bit...uh...dated...but an LP10P was my frontline monitor at one point, and there's a LARGE nationally known company that still runs them on front-line IFT trucks here in Dallas.

I feel young. It's not a good feeling, sometimes.

Thats what my dispatcher said. Lol and that they could break apart.

That's actually a fairly common sight at DFW hospitals, mainly on the floors (not so much the ERs)

 

[Epi-do]

I made a patient cry today. It's been a long time since that has happened.

I'm trying to convince my supervisor to put the LP10 back on the rig so I can use the actual paddles once. Gonna make a big scene of it too like in all the medical shows. Who knows, maybe I'll defib asystole to make it authentic.

Ohmygawdyesyeysyes.

Then again, you certainly won't get the ROSC rates like on TV...

With enough drugs and voltage, youll either get ROSC or an exploded heart.

Dude I would love to have an LP9/10 on the bus to do that with :\

I hear the next lifepak model is going to have customizable wallpapers, an MP3 player, and automatically plays "We Are the Champions" through a set of loudspeakers upon ROSC.

Christ I'm old.

Awesome pic by the way.

 

[Medic Tim]

I have a lp 3 and lp 4. One of them still turns on, though I can't remember which one.

 

[bigbaldguy]

I'm reading through the anatomy physiology chapters in my textbook and having lots of "ohhhhh that's why we do that" moments. Kinda cool. For instance I've been checking pupils for 2 years without knowing exactly why.

Also my head hurts cuz all these big words are starting to get annoying.
