As for not going code 3... no need as the kid was already at a hospital with the partial-FBAO already known where. Surgeon at the hospital didn't want to touch it due to it being a ped, so they were sending them out to a childrens hospital.

Oh that's right, you are IFT. I forgot. I assumed you were running cold to a 911 scene with a Ped. FBAO.
 
Get "Flash block" and "Ad-block". I have them on Chrome, and I know they exist on Firefox, and they work great.





That or quit visiting porn sites.

Didn't you know lecture was code for porn?
 
The most recent complaint I received was from a cop. He had someone pulled over in a construction zone, so we slowed down while still going emergent (don't remember what the run was). Get called back to station, he said we were going in excess of 70mph. Wish I knew how he figured that out, considering he was stationary, outside his car. He flipped us off as we went past, so the only thing I can think of is he had a radar gun in his middle finger.:rolleyes:
 
Excuse me for the brief interruption.

Now, back to our discussion on complaints.

Did anyone explain to him that (well, atleast here in Texas) emergency vehicles are exempt from traffic laws when driving code? We're kind of allowed to go the wrong way if we must.

I went ~78ish (as per my ops manager looking at the records... stupid GPS trackers), as we were 30 minutes away, on the highway with minimal traffic. By company policy, we're allowed 10 over, to a max of 75. So I was still technically in the wrong, which I accepted.

Knock on wood, I'll probably get written up, but they've kept medics that have done far worse (like killing people...though they were dropped to EMT level). I highly doubt they'll do anything drastic to a Paramedic who sped, complaint of not.

You work with AMR, correct? They're pretty strict over this way, but I can't see it being a big deal. Every agency out this way goes with the "10 mile over max" rules, but none actually follow them. What does get us is the damn road safety/"silent witness" systems in the trucks. If you haven't had the privilege of driving with one- you need to. It regulates the top speed of the truck (74ish w/o L&S; 79 w/ L&S), how fast we take off, how hard we break, how hard we turn, etc etc. Well, it doesn't regulate it, it just *****es and complains when we set it off and it counts against our driver record.

but no, I can't see going 78 when 'supposed' to be going 75 in a priority 2 situation when the facility was 30 minutes away (we use priority, not code in south MS)

Cops are humans, and one in so many humans are :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored:s. This cop happened to be one of those :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored:s. I once had an MVA in a construction zone. My medic was assisting the PT while I was prepping the stretcher and backboard. I was on uneven terrain and was trying to use the single operator method to lower our Ferno stretcher, and anyone who uses a ferno knows that at times it can be a pain because all of the weight has to be lifted from the wheels before it will move. Well this cop walks RIGHT up to the stretcher to talk to the passengers in the vehicle, and at that time I managed to get the stretcher undercarriage to drop. He, in all of his brilliance, had positioned his foot under the stretcher. He quickly let me know what happened in a jerk manner. I just laughed and told him I was sorry- had I brought the stretcher over his foot I would have cared- the fact that he did it to himself, I did not.
 
Yet another random question from me :) How many of you filled out paperwork for a background check before you even did an interview? I just did it for hte first time and got confused, usually I've seen services do background checks after the interview...
 
Ahhhh...verbal warning for speeding.


Yet, it was on paper. oxymoron
 
Least it's just a warning, right?
