the 100% directionless thread

Explosion at a military depot in a rural town somewhat near me during a training exercise. Sounds like the flight crews are runnin' their tails off tonight.

Sounds terrible :-/

Thoughts are with those involved, their families and the responders out there.

I had to look up what that means, basically the right to not incriminate yourself, which by default, simply incriminates you more! :P

In the Bill of Rights 1990 ours is "You have the right not to make a statement but anything you do say may harm your defence in a court of law"

I think Ambulance needs to get one of those such as

  • You have the right not to provide a history,
  • Any history you do provide may harm the credibility of your chief complaint,
  • Your family, friends and/or bystanders are warned statements provided by them may also damage your chief complaints' credibility
  • You do not have the right to treatment, transport and/or immediate referral to a Doctor,
  • These will only be provided if believed to be medically necessary,
  • Treatment at the Emergency Department will be free of charge if you meet Ministry of Health guidelines,
  • Any other Doctor you see may not be free of charge,
  • You will be receiving a part-charge from the Ambulance Service

Yes, I like it, I like it a lot! :D

Groom Lake? :D
 
I was in line at the supermarket and noticed they have started stocking boxes of condoms at the checkout ... I mean I don't have a use for them so don't plan to purchase them anytime soon but it gives a whole new meaning to "impulse item" :P :D

Seven young soldiers died and even more were wounded there yesterday...most if not all in their 20s, mostly young 20s.

Not really something to joke about.

You've never joked about someone getting injured or killed? The fact is that we're all going to die someday. Furthermore, the joke is more about the Groom Lake facility that "doesn't exist" than anything else.
 
I have been really missing EMS lately. I wish I was still involved in some way but not sure how. I would love to volunteer but I have no desire to be a firefighter like all the volunteer departments require. I guess I could try to pick up a per diem job but it would have to be as an EMT-B and most likely not 911 which I am not sure I would enjoy.

Last day in my current position. Kind of a bittersweet day. Upside is I will be home with my hubby and furkids every night, downside is we've moved to this teeny tiny small town and I'm not totally sure about it yet. Going to be optimistic about it all though and hope the stress levels in our lives go way down now!
 
I love how when there are medic students in the ED the techs decide to not do a damn thing

It was horrible yesterday, still, I ended up with 5 intubations overall.

Lucky you, man. I missed another one today, pretty bummed about it. Oh well, I'm sure there will be plenty more
 
Overtime shift in Yukon, at a hard station, with a cool partner. Yeah!

Oh, please... the med students ran the OB/Gyn clinic at the spot I rotated at. The vast majority of the patients didn't even see the attending physician (especially for the standard OB checkups. Once a week after gestation age of 36 weeks is a lot of checkups). The students just gave a report to the attending and got the clinic note signed.
