Just saw a woman walking with crutches and holding a beer...the two just don't seem conducive to one another to me.

When I broke my pelvis, I had crutches and had to shovel snow.

Then again, she could be planning ahead so she doesn't fall over...

When I was younger I watched my friend get run over. Never seen a 4 runner get so airborne. Long story short he broke his pelvis. Should have see him fight when they tried to perform a digital rectal exam. :o

Ok, I brought this up at our meeting last week. I thought it would be worth looking into, right?

My Preceptor told the group that the reason we can't use them is because it would be the Medtronic brand that would fit our different units (Zole's is my brand). He said they've looked into it, but for some reason Medtonic doesn't stand behind those adapters as a "certified medical product".

So, if we use them, and have a patient that dies, and a lawyer gets a hold of that information it would open up our service for a lawsuit.. In a court room, we could be asked under oath if we used proper medical equipment, and we'd have to answer no..

The solution he came up with is that pads have to go with the AED when they're switched out on scene.

What do you think?

That's our policy. No adapters allowed. Period.

Just curious if ya'll are also using third party pads as well? I know here we use whichever combo pad is the cheapest, sometimes that Physio's and sometimes it's an off brand. I am not sure if Physio certifies third party pads for use either, but they are widely available and often much cheaper.

Seems to me that if Physio does not certify them and the legal argument with the adapters holds true that there is a possible issue.
 
So far, the best thing I've done all day at work is to hold an old lady's hand.
 
Well the brakes and the a/c went out on the ambulance today and dispatch still wanted us to run calls. I'm so ready to leave me company haha

Same...plus 100mcg of fentanyl for a probable fractured clavicle. She felt much better and was able to really relax.
 
No CCT nurse on our shift today so we're a BLS crew. 4 back to back to back to back BLS IFTs remind me why I need to hurry up and drop my application in at Hall lol

Though the NICU call at the end should be interesting. Plus even though its a little less than 3 hours to end of shift, with a 60 mile drive between to NICU team and pick up hospital, with another 60 miles back to drop off its guaranteed overtime practically lol

Remember this enthusiasm and feeling. You will Need it when you are ready to jump off a bridge at the end.

I should also add, that this was at a casino after riding a bus to get there...

Dude come ride a shift with me.

Never short on entertainment via people watching skills.

A real bad one at the casinos we get us CHFers not taking their lasix because they don't want to have to pee all the time but they still take their potassium all weekend :wacko:
