- Angie baby...
I didn't screw Bob and Darlene with the friend request. The request was sent. Darlene jumped the gun and was impatient.
I never made it to Pittsburgh this past summer for any games. Maybe this year. I'm trying to get out there for a Penguins game too.

John W. Magyar said… - Hi Angie,
Sorry it took me awhile to get back to your question about motorized stretchers. I don't recall anything like that in the US (at least since the early 70's anyway) I do seem to remember reading about one though in some other country many years ago. I do remember an inventor in the late 80's or early 90's who developed a kit to convert an old FW Model 30 cot to what we now know as a "Power Lift". I think our military had tested a "motorized field litter" sometime during the Viet Nam era but I'm not sure of the dating.
Heres a blast from the past. Did you ever hear of the "Thumper" by Dixie Medical in Texas? The Thumper was a pneumatic mechanical CPR device that you applied to the pt. to perform compressions and ventillations (supposedly better than humans). It was a "fad" item that probably lasted about 15 years before it faded out. I remember using them but wasn't impressed because they never stayed in place, broke ribs, and used alot of oxygen. etc. The problem I saw "in hospital" every month when I ran training codes was that the staff spent too much time trying to get the Thumper hooked up or adjusted and totally forgot about poor Resusci-Anne going without O2 for so long. She died more times than she survived.
After several months of that insanity I made the recommendation to DC the Thumper and go back to regular CPR. Hospital admin. had a hard time with that because of the cost of the Thumper but finally gave in and put the Thumper in mothballs.
There are currently some "newer" thumpers being tested today in the field that have received mixed reviews. Kinda reminds me of the hoola-hoop. Seems like it resurfaces every 20 or so years. Maybe someday the'll get it right for the "thumper".
