Here's a challenge. Get the "Naked Cowboy" to replace the "naked cowboy" with "FDNY Rules". Go now. You have two days. :twisted:

And we want it for free since we're such loyal viewers.....and it better not be 100% polyester.....in fact...make it silk....Skooter wants silk EMTBravo boxers.....

Buffs. Don't you know your supposed to turn off all cell phones and pagers during the movie! :-P

Ain't that the truth.

Thanks. Maybe it doesn't go online for a day or two.

If anyone can link to it I would love to see it. Mike: what day did it appear? I can try and find it with a web search. Even a title would help a little.

Oh don't worry, I didn't take it as negative. The additional info in fact definatly could help the person who posted the request know the way things work a little better.....and thats what we're here for. 8) And yeah, each ER is different in what they want to hear over the radio. White Plains likes it short an sweet "Comming in with an MI, see you in two" or some other hospitals who like a full set of vitals and ask you for it if you don't tell them. :wink: But sure, if they don't want to hear a dissertation, they can just walk away from the radio and go about their business. And no St. Joes is NOT a trauma center. Anything requiring a trauma team response should go to a level 2 or higher, which Joes is not. If Traumas are going to Joes, they shouldn't be unless it's an (imminent) arrest.

I talked to Seth and will be providing him with a copy of said episode. I agree with whomever in that it was THE BEST episode of Third Watch ever. If anyone else needs a copy, private message me and we can make arrangements. I have it in digital format.

Rob: needless to say my last post was a bit sarcastic. In real life my calls to the med are usually by HEAR and do just what you say: describe the patient and let them sort out what they want to do. My first experience with the new ER was working a patient struck by a vehicle. I called it in over the HEAR radio and they got the picture well. The response appeared to be Level 2 in nature (the guy wasn't all that bad off, worst would have been a good head trauma). People trickled in as the time passed. We have learned in the past that they do NOT like being told what kind of response (Level 1, 2, 3, etc) to mount, but if the patient is really in need, and you feel a full trauma need should be gathered, then my all means make the call. In the end, the best interests of the patient should prevail.

Talked to one one of the ER docts from there and he agrees that It needs some work. Halls are narrow and when there are patients on beds stacked up in the halls, it makes movement difficult. My first experience witjh the new ER was bringing in a trauma patient. It is kind of surreal to have all of the staff congregating in the main ER with the trauma ER feeling like a ghost town once the patient has been assessed and taken care of. One person of unknown origin walked up to me and aksed me where the waiting room was. I told him I have no idea since this was my first time here (after opening) and he proceeded to walk through the trauma area unimpeded. I like the old ER in that it had slop/scrub sinks in the hallways outside of the trauma rooms. Now if you want to clean up or wash your hands you either need to intrude into a trauma room or hope nobody is tying up the one bathroon in the hallway there. Initial impressions: The architect should be shot.

Do I smell a resurrection? "EMTBRavo Muster" perhaps? Come on seth. You know you wanna.

And let us not forget the might Jacobi which is much closer to areas like South Yonkers, Mount Vernon, and New Ro.....

BitTorrent is your friend. Oh yeah....and so is google.

Let ye who is without sin, cast the first stone.

When you call into WMC with a trauma, be sure to call in and tell them you have a level 1 trauma. The surgeons LOVE when you tell them what level code to run. :twisted:

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz.....huh? what?....let me be...I'm working hard for my OT.....ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz

Considering the recent spurt of structure fires in the Northern Westchester area, I was wondering (spurred by someone's mention of it in the Croton discussion): What are different department's policies regarding rehab? Do you just call in an ambulance to standby and watch while the firefighters just step back, grab a watter, cool off and jump back in? Or do you have a REAL rehab system setup with a set minimum time out dependant on environment (longer on hot and really cold days), vital sign tracking, hydration and nutritional rehab (sports drinks and granola bars)? I think with all the LODD notices you see of people dropping on a scene from heart attacks and the like, the guys and girls running the fireground should be well taken care of and tracked medically. Sure, it's a b**** to be told to sit out for a while because your B/P is too high, but it's better than sitting out permanently becuase you worked yourself (literally) to death. I have been told in the past (correct if wrong) that it is the Fire Department's responsibility to develop a rehab program for thier department. I personally think that the EMS from the area should be involved and everyone should sit down as a group and hash out a definitive plan for protecting the health and safety of our brothers and sisters. The days of the ambulance crews sitting around twiddling thier thumbs should be gone and a better plan instituted.

WEMS Flycars going out for conversion. Place in Danbury called Specialty Warning Systems. Paint scheme identical to the old trucks. Electrical system will kick butt! I can't wait to get pictures.

Really? Rob took over as CIC huh? Excellent. I think he will make a very good instructor. As for RCC's program, anything is possible. I understand Mary left a while back and Scott is now moving Westward. There is a new lady coming in to take over the CCEMT-P coordination. I do not know if she will be doing the EMT-P as well.

WCC's program has really gone downhill from what I hear in the past few years. The old instructor left and the program is being run by Steve Nardozzi last I heard. The old instructor (Mike Kaufman) was apparently rather unpopular. As such enrollment is dangerously low. I wonder if the program will be around next year. A few people I know are in the Vinny's program in Queens (they have one in midtown - actually looking for a new CIC too) and one in Queens. Latest local suggestions are to go to Dutchess. Rockland seems a good alternative tho I have not heard anything about thier program and Scott left to move to California.

Yup. But it is entertaining at times. I watch it with a grain of salt and remind myself constantly that Denis Leary is a comedian not an actor.

We used to use Pauls in the Bronx but for reasons I won't get into here, we discontinued using them and started using New England Sporting Goods (I think thats the name) on Route 128 in Armonk. They are in the same complex as Armonk Hardware, right across the street from Wachovia/First Union. I'm glad we have someone local. Going down to the ronx all the time for Uniforms was annoying.

One word. PICTURES!

Two options: Get to know BitTorrent then go to tvt.milfclan.com. or Let me know and I'll burn it onto VCD and send it to you. It is perhaps one the of the best episodes EVER. Sure it can be a stretch of the imagination at times, but it makes Rescue ME look like a joke.
