the 100% directionless thread

I didn't get a good look at the 12 lead. Just a quick peak of the second that we ran after switching the leads. Sounded like lateral/posterior. Extensive cardiac history per fire.
 
Weird, but sounds like a significant LCA occlusion. Did he finish up?

So is it BLS units that respond for transports and BLS calls, with ALS first response (not transport capable?) from FD?

They actually currently transport in their own ALS ambulances, but for reasons, they are shutting down their BLS AO program and have contracted with us, and apparently they'll use their ALS vans as squads, where we transport all the calls, like we currently do with LACoFD. Water Cooler gossip is that this is fallout from this: (story broke in March of 2015 btw) http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/...ghters-without-emt-permit-20150326-story.html

Rumor also has it that either Compton FD wants to be absorbed into County Fire or vice versa, but I haven't seen any actual documentation on that though.

I can't imagine his partner is feeling about that turn of events...

Ah, the joys of fire-based EMS.

If I ever get stuck in a nursing home they better let me drink every night!

I love this idea - and so do (some) elder care facilities! Here's a good example of this from the NYT:

Disregarding typical nursing-home rules, Beatitudes allowed Ms. Nance, 96 and afflicted with Alzheimer’s, to sleep, be bathed and dine whenever she wanted, even at 2 a.m. She could eat anything, too, no matter how unhealthy, including unlimited chocolate.

If I can't have a stiff drink when I'm 96 because it might kill me, well, then I think we're missing something here.

They really should bring EMS folks into the discussion on nursing home, palliative care, and transfer issues.

I didn't mind the drinking part as much as I minded they didn't know **** about him. So easy to assume he is drunk and not actually check on him, which sounds like was the case until she decided he wasn't sobering up.
 
And on the note, I need food. Non stop all day. I don't think we ever reached a post before we got a call. >< I had a feeling today was gonna be hectic.
 
I heard Petraeus might be being considered for another Cabinet position also? Petraeus +Mattis in the White House = awesome in my book.
 
I'm not in the corps and I'm still extatic!
 
Watching the grand tour... Aka top gear... Love it, picked up where they left off! :)
 
I can't believe I nearly had to argue with the Denny's waiter that a side of bacon is more than just a single solitary strip (which is what he brought out....I had to have him give me a menu so I can point out where it says that a side of bacon is 4 strips....)
 
good vodka recommendations anybody?? I have Ciroc, and New Amsterdam(cali people :)). What else should i add?
