Date: 6/2/2005 Time: 2050 Location: 208 Harris Road, Bedford Mews Apartments Frequency: 46.26 Units Operating: Katonah FD, 2211, 45Medic1, 65B1/51 (KBHVAC) Description Of Incident: Katonah FD calling 10-8 from previous call at above location. 2211 quickly comes back on the air and requests ambulance and paramedic to the scene. Updates as a firefighter down with possible exhaustion, requires evaluation. Writer: WAS967 2110 - Pt transported ALS to NWMC-ER. All other units 10-8. This ranks up there as one of the calls I never like to hear/get. God speed him/her to a quick recovery.

I've heard they don't work. Any experiences anyone?

So am I, but Garlic doesn't bother me. =D>

One day I'm gonna take a few pounds of TNT up there and just put that silly thing out of it's misery.

And this is a problem HOW?

Okay. I know the one you're talking about now. Across from Shoprite and in the same parking lot/area as Radio Shack. I'll have to try them out one day while on Medic1.

The probie chick....:->

Allergies. :sniff:

Yah. Saw that on TV the other night and was wondeirng if it was Rhinebeck NY. Apparently it was. They looked pretty good. =D>

Truckie: Which Animal Hospital? I know of Peking Garden which is next to the A&P in Katonah is really good (and the building next door USED to be a Vet). I'm trying to think if there is a Chinese place near KBVC down in Bedford Hills (the emergency vet). So thats my recommendation: Peking Garden in Katonah next to the A&P. I used to like Emperor's Choice in Beach but they kinda suck now. (Thier Sushi isn't that great and the Chinese is mediocre at best). Try Empire Hunan in Yorktown for excellent Sushi and pretty good chinese. (Sit at the Sushi bar and order ala carte).

Biggest cans. And I don't mean water cans. 8)

I'm not an admin but I can hazard a guess having worked on sites before. It basically boils down to storage space and bandwidth. When you host a site you are allotted a certain amount of space for material and a certain amount of bandwidth usage per month (some being lucky and having unmetered service but thats typically VERY expensive). Video of decent resolution takes up a LOT of space and obviously the bigger the file the more bandwidth it would use when people view it. It would probably put too much strain on the site's file space quote and the ISP would probabyl start moaning about excessive usage.

We all deserve a little recognition. Too bad we don't get enough of it. Or what little attention we get is negative. I don't go out demanding it like some I know, but when it is sent my way, it is well recieved and appreciated.

Please tell me you're joking. I might just loose my job is I find any nurse doing that.

A related question: Is Rescue 911 on DVD at all? I know Emergency was influential to a lot of earlier EMS people, but Rescue 911 is what motivated me at my beginning.

I'll let the others do the ranting. I'll keep mine simple. ExChiefPJ: SHOVE IT

He must be bored again.

Nurses who are usually nice and pleasant but then turn around and question why you worked up a patient for pain secondary to Kidney Stones.

I was gonna recommend you follow your own advice but seth did it much better than I could have. I would have just told you to shove it.

Hehe. This should be interesting. :-P

The problem is, the issue isn't that simple. The policy from the state is very straight forward but unfortunatly many of the situations that we encounter that are related are not. ALS said it well. Some of these calls may require a lot of calm explaination to people who otherwise just don't know what is going on or why we do what we do.

We should start an EMTBravo RSS feed!

At issue is the availability of such a feed. LAFD makes major incidents like those in the feed available as a service to the public. I don't know the innerworking but a lot of "newsfeeds" use RSS. If there isn't an RSS feed for what you desire then it probably won't get done. If you are willing to do the legwork and find a newsfeed that does national fire/ems incidents, then by all means submit the link to EMTBravo for consideration.

I'll be sure to remember that next time I go to M/A to Brewster. :->
