Whenever I see these guys in my neighborhood, I wish I could buy them a coffee and get the inside scoop on how useful they think this program is.

We have a Mobile Stroke Treatment Unit here in the Springs every other week (it goes to Aurora for the other half).

Frankly I think it is nothing but a PR move. It only responds to calls coded as strokes within a few miles of the hospital and can only be requested by on scene crews within that radius. I would much rather just identify a stroke and get them to the hospital so if they aren't a TPA candidate they can be put on a helicopter and sent to an appropriate facility. Currently they will not respond or intercept out to rural areas, where I feel like they might actually make a difference.

That makes no sense....gotta love limiting ideas with potential.

Yeah, sounds like a PR move out there. Here in the city, I could see it being fun but more or less futile: I'm less than a 10 minute drive (assuming light to moderate traffic) from three stroke centers (NYS designated), so I can't imagine it being so so useful in those light/moderate traffic conditions.
 
Has anybody used KT tape before(if so does it actually work)? to treat things such as shin splints and back spasms?

I've used it quite a bit. Never seems to make much of a difference though.

I use it for my shoulder. I think it helps but I don't have any evidence to support that.

It's amazing how good a group of people can get when you literally play all day long.

We're like 9 hours deep on ping pong and still going.

I love trading one shift and being able to get 5 days off and not lose any money from my check. Looking forward to some extended weekends in January. Now to decide where to surprise my fiancé with for a mini-vacation for her birthday.

Well, take my exit exam tomorrow. Hopefully NREMT in the next week. Guess it is time to start stressing now?
 
It was 80*F today... with great surf... But yet I miss cool weather and changing leaves. Ugh
 
Going from 4g of RAM to 16g really makes a difference... who knew..
 
Just watched the memorial service of a fire fighter I knew who took his own life. Please everyone, if you need help ask for it. I'm sad I could not go in person but I never want to have to see one or go to one again.
