These are my though...I am glad you are safe now!! <br /><br />These are my thoughts as I was reading this post ..... <br /><br />CODE 200 coming ... I see I CODE 200 right around the corner (A code 200 means paramedic being assaulted - life could be at risk --> for dispatch that means, once its been called over the radio, get an immediate status update, get on the horn the police and get them there NOW to help, send another transport unit to look after the potentially injured medics, and get a supervisor there) ((another side note, do you wear a knife/bullet proof vest??)) .... <br /><br />And then the drop of the EPCR and the call for help -- finally the unwanted Code 200, that we know was just around the corner.<br /><br />Why did you believe that the patient when you were restraining him against the gate - remember patients lie, they lie all the time. <br /><br />And then you had to struggle with the patient in the back of the ambulance.<br /><br />I know when you are waiting for the police to arrive, it seems like FOREVER; try sitting up at dispatch staring at the CAD screen, and the radio praying that the medics who are in trouble are not laying on the cold concrete in a puddle of their own blood. <br /><br />I am glad the boyz in blue came running in to help you! <br /><br />It scares the sh*t out of me when my medics are in trouble and I can do nothing more for them over and above getting police, and more medics to help them. <br /><br />I am very possessive of my medics - I am their life line when they are out on the streets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026214128770026952.post-53297969068189103482009-06-26T06:13:16.157-07:002009-06-26T06:13:16.157-07:00Couple of points here HM.
1) Glad you are ok!!!
2)...Couple of points here HM.<br />1) Glad you are ok!!!<br />2) Where can we see the dashboard camera from the patrol car approaching the scene, I fancy a giggle!<br />3) Why oh why oh why, couldnt you have kept this patient till I was out there with you, with the BBC. That would have made some good TV.<br />4) Bet part 3 is all about whether to press charges or not.......<br /><br />However, back to point 1 - Im glad we are all laughing at this one, instead of reading what could have been a whole different story.<br /><br />Stay safe!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026214128770026952.post-65807887836426487942009-06-25T20:19:17.812-07:002009-06-25T20:19:17.812-07:00Hope you're all ok Happy.

Fightin with the street crowd seems to be getting harder on us old medics (or young medics that just feel old)<br /><br />One of my first "real" jobs was as a hospital security guard. We had the regional trauma center, the regional lockdown adult and adolescent psyche center, and a detox facility. We were fighting every shift. That's where I learned that I wasn't as tough as I thought I was, and that getting punched hurts, and that talking patients down while holding pressure points is much easier than swingin fists. It was good training for the rig.Ckemtphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02120372673086912853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026214128770026952.post-79280884735072750212009-06-25T18:53:50.187-07:002009-06-25T18:53:50.187-07:00Duuuuuude!!

Of course, we wouldn't need so many medics, cops and firefighters and I would likely be out of a job.<br /><br />I can't wait until round 3 hits the net. I'll bet it involves complaints and lawyers!!!!!Capt.

Does your department offer any self defense training? I know it is part of the standard training here for the Big City Department. Or as some of the MEDICS here say, when in doubt the O2 tank is always a multi-purpose tool. CLANG!Dukenoreply@blogger.com
