@FLTDOC1 I used a 30 exactly once in my career, and the patient was no where near 300lbs.

@MedicMatt17512 @garius Correct: per my grandfather: someone bought the monkey in port and smuggled it aboard. Monkey lived in with the stokers on their births. Unfortunately monkey was trained as a pick pocket and was stealing stuff and hiding it in the owners bunk, so they got rid of it quick.

@jab_doc Once we make patient contact, reguardless of the reason for the call, it’s a full assessment and PCR for every patient. If they don’t want to go, it’s a refusal.
A patient is anyone who an ambulance is called for.

@MedicMatt17512 @OPSEUAmbDiv Possible theory: are we using different bands in RF spectrum which require larger technology? Probably not, but maybe? UK digital infrastructure is probably more advanced then our.

@jab_doc @Xan_axolotl Now I want to see you rope something from the passenger window of a fire truck. Or from the hose bed.

@MissouriEMS @Jakeification @jemsconnect @EMSWorldOFCL I always love supporting research, but I can’t scan a QR code on my phone with my phone and most people look at twitter on their phone. May want to consider adding a link.

@MatthewHumar If the review is from our Base Hospital (certifying agency) it’s called a Variance Report. If it’s from the paramedic service it’s called an ACE (Ambulance Call Evaluation) because they evaluate our ACR (Ambulance Call Report). (ACR is a legacy term in legislation)

[Chris Smith @lost_sheep30]

@MedicMatt17512 And then watch the ER cut it off because you did it based “on mechanism”.

[Chris Smith @lost_sheep30]

@ERshitmagnet It’s not necessarily healthy, but when my brother and sister-in-law had their first, we sent them a skip the dishes gift card. That way they could order what ever they wanted. When she was having a bad day, she could order herself something.

[Chris Smith @lost_sheep30]

@MedicMatt17512 @cmdrbob558 @jlynnbolster I’ve heard @jlynnbolster speak a few times on her work during @McNallyProject Meeting. Looking forward to reading it and hopefully working with her in the future.
