Dispatch: 17-Ambulance-1 Code Responce, Report to XXXXNorth XXXXEast Rd for 85F not breathing.

Upon arrival family crying, Son doing directed CPR from dispatcher. We take over Rookie does his first comi tube, we put her on the cot, attach the AED, start out the door, Son says "Please save her, we cant live without her, and oh by the way heres her medical records." Rookie Skims through it in route, pops up front, Hey Bob whats this?"

My Response, "A DNR!"

I really couldnt say, maybe she never consulted them on the matter, maybe the son really didnt care about the dnr, grief can do wierd things, All I know is for my rookies part, I never knew that these local run classes talk about the DNR, but just never showed anyone what the hell it looked like. I mean really, not examples. Sheesh. :wacko:^_^

Hold on there young Skywalker. Minimal damage on an MVA. Had a guy get hit from behind. Hit him so hard you could see where the dust had to resettle. I mean this car that hit him was moving at half the speed of smell. C/O neck pain. We rolled our eyes, immobilized, tx to ER. Found out later he had a hangmans FX. Talk about eye opener. No HX of neck problems, surgeon called to see how bad impact was. Said it's a rare thing, but it can happen.
