Well, someone better step up to the plate. If it doesn't get done soon it will be summer and thus too damn hot to play and have a good time IMO. And as I said before, I ain't doing it again. (The organization part).

I wish they had a summons that they could charge her with. Is there such a thing as charging someone with "abuse of the 911 system"?

OH man...I haven't laughed that hard in a while....thanks guys. "What are we protecting you from? A bad cheesburger???"

Bah. Corn don't belong in Chili IMHO. I'd try it with the corn replaced by green peppers tho. :->

Well, if someone wants to do the organization, be my guest. I've tried it before and have no desire to do the organization again and have nobody show up.

Probably because the nurses have thier hands full dealing with the patients they already have, and get stressed at the site of more patients coming in. At least we only have to deal with one patient at a time typically.

Another young guy dead of a heart attack. This is starting to get to me now. :cry:

Not big at all. Probably one or two man max.

I found that the best way to get a game going is to just set a date and publish it. I would give more than a weeks notice and just spread the word. Maybe shoot for the 17th of April and try to get a big group so we can have our own fields.

In related news: Word is that the New ER at Phelps has been pushed up to Fall 2006. =D> No word on NWHC yet. [-o<

One easy way to get the message across is to ask for an ETA. Like "What's the ETA on the bird?". If you have the time you can give a sit-rep and if the responder is listening, they get the point.

Out of curiosity, why Tan?

What's this Sunday? Big game?

Just my two cents: This was probably just a silly/stupid mistake. If I had to guess he'll be fined at most. Similar incident happened in Texas I belive, although there is was mockups used for a WMD seminar that the guy had, not the real thing. #-o

I'm with alsfirefighter on this one. It takes seconds to spew a quick "CPR in progress" over the radio as it does to say "expeditie". We did a call recently together where he got there in seconds. Bad GSW to the head. It only took him 3-4 seconds to get on the radio and say "gunshot to the head, step it up". I HATE hearing the word expedite. I was working 45medic3 during a snowstorm when we had a bad diff breather that coded on the FD. They called an expedited. Well the VAC captain did the interesting thing of getting on the radio and saying "request denied due to weather". It sucks to have the be there with a patient crapping the bed, but it's a way of things sometimes. Just do your best, we'll get there when we get there.

Here is a list of ones that I know of. Mohegan has U40 and U50 both of which are not just BLS flycars, but Fire Flycars. Peekskill VAC has 7505 which is usually used for the line officer on call. Cortlandt VAC had 8804? which is the captain's car. Somers has 80U4 which was mentioned. Heritage Hills' Security vehicles are all BLS response vehicles with full BLS gear AND AEDs. Lewisboro has THREE BLS flycars now. 6703 is the Captain's car. Two of the Lieutenants also have thier vehicles equipped with RL&S and full sets of gear to speed response. Also to answer someone else's statement: LVAC supplies a majority of thier crew chiefs with full BLS gear INCLUDING AEDs. Harrison VAC's "chief" has a first response vehicle. Sleepy Hollow VAC's captain (Tod Spota, a member of this board) has a BLS flycar provided by the town. (Perhaps he can provide some information on how it operates). Chappaqua VAC has 502 which is a flycar provided to the on duty crew chief. Most of the FDs that provide ambulance service usually have BLS gear on the chief's cars. (Bedford, Armonk, etc). All the above (besides possibly the FD chief's) are NYS-DOH certified BLS first response vehicles.

For me the hottest is either Eliza Dushku ("Tru Calling",. "Buffy") or Kristin Kreuk ("Smallville").I used to have a thing for Mena Suvari until she did American Beauty. It was all downhill from there. (If you need to ask why, you haven't seen it).

Okay. Thats what I figured (Fast Track upstairs, main down). Are they planning to expand the ER outwards on the main level? Cause If memory serves they have about 15 beds in the ER now (normally spaced) and would need to double that if he wants to maintain room size and privacy.

Interesting to see what the area looked like before the new stores were put in. In related fires...anyone have pictures of the fire that took out WFAS?

Doesn't bother me either until you start pushing my damn buttons.

Two floor ER? How in the world is that gonna work? Minors upstairs, major downstairs? Any additional info appreciated.

There is one agency/system (I forget where) that in the last year or so switched to a computerized voice that dispatches the units and gives the information. Dispatchers still take the signals and calls, but the dispatch and information is given by a computerized voice. I'll have to see if I can find the information.

Ideally the initial information (location verification, nature, etc) should be gathered and then passed to a second dispatcher who dispatches the call while the first continues with the EMD questions. It wouldn't be a good idea to continue to the EMD questions before getting responders on thier way. So if the person is a lone dispatcher, they should put the person on "hold" and fire off the dispatch, then come back and give instructions.

Where at? Keeping it a secret?
