    This should probably read alleged field misdiagnosis. Curious to see what his 12 lead looked like, or if they even did a 12. Likewise, I'm curious to know how the conversation with the telemetry doc went.

    Personally, i try to go out of the way and explain that my diagnostic capabilities are limited in the field and a cardiology consult and lab work are going to definitively determine if a cardiac event occurred or not.

    That is the best way to go about it. Whenever I have a patient who wants to RMA I go to great lengths to explain to them that only so much can be done in the field. As mentioned though it's going to come down to the PCR, although I'm sure the two medics are already sitting on the couch :\

    Station 7 ? Bar is that what u are taking bout

    No, that was on route 9 and is a completely different bar. The Firehouse Grille was / will be once again on Welcher Ave and Washington Street in Peekskill.

    a little late on the info huh? that banner has been up for a few weeks not to be offensive but alot of people knew already we are just wating on a date but rumor has it that all the old decorations are still in place like some of the old gear that had been there

    Sorry I don't drive on that street every single day? There wasn't a thread, and the last thread about the subject is archived. I know for a fact there are people who don't live in Peekskill, or drive around Peekskill often at all that would like to know the info so I figured I'd post a topic

    Taken from http://www.emtlife.com/showthread.php?t=10249 Since I took it 4 years ago, however it was very easy as I remember :

    A stairmaster: 59 steps/second with a 40 lb weightd vest

    Lifting with your arms: you basically have to pull a stationary chain and create enough force with your arms 3 times

    Pushing some sort of bike wheel "ergonometer" a certain number of revolutions while lasting for 2 minutes

    Lifting with your legs: same thing as the arm lift but they make you change your form to involve your legs

    I know a few people that have got letters already stating that they got their information and are establsihing a list.I applied and haven't got one yet any body else get a letter?

    Pretty much the answer to all questions such as these if you still have not gotten one and are concerned it is to call DCAS haha. FDNY does not establish lists of any sort, the exam is done by DCAS and a list is put together by them as well. The FDNY is only involved once they call you from the list to start the hiring process. If you haven't gotten a list # and other people have, check your mail, if you're still concerned call DCAS and see what's up, it's not unheard of for them to make mistakes. Best of luck brother.

    FDNY at times will release a vehicle and driver from the rock. You may have seen Ladder 62 or Engine 99 at the rock.

    The movie prop rigs are not old FDNY rigs, they come from other places and repainted to look like ours.

    We have many members who are members of the Screen Actors Guild that work the Tv shows and movies. You will find that these members will bring along of FF's when needed but you can only work so many hours until you are required to join the SAG.

    Currently there are FDNY FF's working the movie Magnus rex? as extras playing cops.

    Side note. All the FF's in Bronx Tale were FDNY members.

    Magnus Rex AKA The Dark Knight Rises

    I hope the MOS are all okay and wish them a speedy recovery. This type of thing can happen to any one of us, I can only speculate as to what happened but we all need to remember we can't help anyone if we don't make it to a scene. I've seen POV's fly by me at breakneck speeds before ( I am not saying that these MOS were doing this, just making an observation), I just wish we would all relax and get there safely so we can actually help each other. Please remember everyone at the end of the day " Everyone Goes Home'.

    Do FDNY paramedics staff that or does the USSS pick it up and staff it? Does Ambulance 001 join the rest of the fleet after it has served the POTUS for a few years or does it go to auction?

    What does the POTUS' bus have that the others dont?

    I believe it gets auctioned when it's time is done. Paramedics from the Dignitary Protection Unit of FDNY staff 001 and 002. 001 and 002 contain safety features to protect( lets just say it starts at being bullet proof) other than that I doubt FDNY would want that information released haha.

    The following is copied verbatim from this topic on the nycfire.net forums, I attached a link referencing the thread.

    "There were two dedicated DPU units in the city. Ambulance 001 and 002. 001 being for the president and 2 for everyone else. However they do use standard buses when needed.

    For the most part you will get two FDNY Medics who are DPU trained. During the UN GA you sometimes will get EMS officers riding with a Medic."

    As per the ops guide we need to carry our APR's with us at all times, even in the crew compartment. The reasoning is that if we respond to any sort of explosion ( bus, train, building, etc) we would have our APRS in our reach prior to having to get out and breathe what potentially could be a CBRN attack. While you may think our turnout gear is " ridiculous " or " self serving" remember that NYC is the number one terrorist target in the WORLD, and every borough is different then another. I have had glass from a fire fall on me from 3 blocks away before, and I was happy I was wearing my gear at the time.
