I don't really care for M&M's, would Skittles work? Ahh... nothing like a nice cold, frothy Skittlebrau.
Interesting... dose? Side effects? Cost? What other benefits might M&M's combat? Yellow... yellow fever? Red... various rashes? Green for erectile dysfunction. And, of course, anything with nuts to combat psychosis.
The semantics of this discusion tend to lead to a big pissing contest. If I'm in a hospital or ER, I treat the RN's as equal members of the health care team. Sometimes I have to use my 'big boy' voice and direct eye contact to get them to acknowle...
I must say I'm flattered to have my posts referenced by Skip on the opening question of this discussion (waaay back). And I agree that 'Command' respect is a better choice of words than 'Demand'. Kudos.
I feel like I'm getting a little beat up, th...
I can't say I'm surprised to find out there's some negative reports on Paramedic White. We all have skeletons in our closet. I also am not surprised in the least to read of Trooper Martin's history. All I can say is, judging by the two videos I've...
In an earlier comment, Skip said the office of police officer deserves respect, just as the Office of Paramedic does. That's kind of my point for getting national organizarions involved. There IS no Office of Paramedic! Countless times in the medi...
Harsh... but on the mark.
That certainly sounds reasonable and prudent Skip. But what happens if the local leaders don't engage? I actually don't know anything about the agency. Are they for profit? Maybe they don't want to rock the boat. I work in a fairly large system an...
Ben Waller has hit the nail right square on the head with his last two posts. Esp. in refference to how and why White exited his vehicle, he also is correct as to the aspects of driving an ambulance. In a perfect world, the driver would have check...
Thomas Durkee has a good point. I'm not suggesting that our EMS leaders need to cry from the ramparts about how awesome we in EMS are (not to mention modest!). But I do think this incident is worthy of at least an official statement as to the posi...
Interesting article. I know we've all looked at the cops beating on some criminal and thinking, "They had it coming." It's times like this I like to remember a line Clint Eastwood said in 'Unforgiven', "We all got it comin, kid."
Oh My. God. Up until now I was willing to give the trooper the benefit of the doubt and just assume he was adumb rookie who made a mistake. I was even willing to assume the Paramedic White may have inadvertantly antagonized him in some way that we...
Hear, hear! asysin2leads. No matter WHAT the imagined or real transgression the medic did, short of strapping himself with dynomite and screamin allah akbar at the trooper, there is no possible justification for a LEO professional laying his hands...
P.S. The dash cam will more than likely be released sooner rather than later as the news media has already made a public records request.
Ridryder 911... according to Maurice White, the Trooper did have a civilian woman in his front seat. Maurice White clearly states that he thought the woman had some type of medical emergency and postulated that that was why the Trooper was driving...
