I've never had to use a NRB for a Neb mask. We carry ~6 handheld nebs and ~ 6 mask nebs
 
Another shooting at an area hospital. Next county down. One victim, shooter is in custody. That's three shootings, a middle school and two hospitals, in less than three months!

Thoughts are with the healthcare family and all those affected.

I'm getting my CCW. Been planning on it but it's at the top of the list now.

I have been carrying for a few months now but not as often as I should. I always have my .45 in my car and tucked next to the seat ready to go whenever I am downtown. Unfortunately, Saint Louis has turned into a war zone. I have seen shootings, stabbings, robbery, etc at least once a weekend.

I have only had to pull my gun once. Luckily I didn't have to pull the trigger, even though I legally could have. Didn't think it was worth the legal and moral repercussions over an obviously homeless and desperate man.

Did everyone get a backboard too?

I think in the last year, I've used a NRB twice.

Yes they did :-p just to CYA.

We have 6 Nrbs. 6 of my 9 patients had o2 sats under 80 (with clinical findings to match).

I gave a lot of albuterol and atrovent. Some Solu-Medrol. A couple doses of prednisone. And was ready to give one guy Epi, but his HR and BP were through the roof, and was finally able to get him to tolerate CPAP.

I have no desire to shoot someone. But I also have a strong desire to stay alive and protect myself, my friends and this girl that's weaseling her way into my heart.

If I go my entire life without drawing it I'd be a really happy guy.

Surely you aren't allowed to carry at work, are you? Don't get me wrong, I support the 2nd and all but even with a CCW, where all are you still allowed to carry? A lot of the stores have no gun signage now a days. It would seem like a hassle to have to check each store's policy and having to stash your gun in your car...

Some states those signs carry no legal weight. So a lot of concealed carriers just ignore them. Not saying it's right but it happens. I know I did

If you're doing it right, no one will know you're carrying. ;)

I'm actually going to probably need to get mine soon. My neighborhood is turning into a war zone with gangs and there's been 3 rape/assaults in my neighborhood at the time I leave for school/morning runs and at the time I make it home. Plus the area I'm legally able to work in once I can work on an ambulance is number one in the state on homocide and rape crimes.
 
Alright so now that we know, who are u guys going for in the Super Bowl this year? Seahawks or broncos!
 
I am rooting for the Broncos cuz everybody loves Peyton! But what a game that was? That pick at the end with the questionable officiating. I loved it when the umpire 129 fell into the dog pile and had to get med. attn. from the trainers.

You've obviously never been to Nevada. Only place you can't carry is schools and govt buildings I I remember correctly.

No we cannot carry at work. If they let me I would.

Last year we had a crew take multiple rounds from a .223 rifle through the back windows on the doors while both crew members were in the back with the patient.

If that happened in my response area I'm fairly sure our company would have vests on the units pretty quickly

As long as you truly live in Sacramento County, getting a CCW license is relatively easy, if drawn out as a process. The hardest part of the whole thing is waiting for the initial appointment. The second hardest part of it all is affording the training and license fees.

I'm in county limits. Thanks! I know I won't be able to afford the training right now as a college student which sucks. I can't wait until I'm able to work towards a the stuff because I want to feel like I can defend myself walking down my street. My pocket knife won't be doing much out here.

I have to say that I'm kinda glad that I live in PA, where it's really simple to get a CCW permit. I wouldn't mind it being a little harder, but it's damn near impossible for some of you guys to get permits in other states.
