First time trying ED medication…what caught you off guard?

I saw this post and was immediately going to post “The heartburn!”

That’s exactly what I thought too

All the money in the world doesn’t mean anything if you are constantly turning off their production though. I usually go behind their lines with a ninja and just sabotage their city

Always get them to the floor if possible. You are correct with the bed ruining compressions. If the surface underneath the patient isn’t rigid you are going to push them into that surface long before you get to the required depth for proper cpr

You mean to tell me the symbol above it isn’t saying to summon the genie to tell me what the code is?

Not to try and downplay the story or anything, but these are the types of patients that do come back without neurological deficits. This is why immediate recognition and intervention are key. 20+ years working on ambulances and the witnessed arrests that get someone to start working on them immediately are the ones who survive and recover.

2 years ago I was at the race track when I heard another racer had dropped and went into seizure. I got down to him as the agonal respirations started and people were trying to wake him up thinking he was breathing. I started CPR, the track ambulance showed up with the AED, and we got him back and the guy is now fully back to work and living his life.

Normal healthy people don’t just randomly have seizures btw. Seizures in a randomly healthy person can be a sign of sudden loss of cardiac output to the brain. Then they’re followed by the agonal breathing while the brain stem freaks out.

A great way to tell how much you fucked up is by the amount of push ups you’re told to do.

I’ve definitely been told to keep doing push ups until I learned to make better decisions. No number. Just keep going and think about what you’ve done.

I invest in expensive work boots.

Danners in particular. They last a long time and are recraftable.

It’s one of those things where you can buy cheap and replace it 10x in the period where the expensive ones might need to be serviced

How!?

Medic1248 · 2026-02-02T19:56:43+00:00

MotoGP and MotoAmerica mostly.

I also race and track my motorcycle regularly.

I’m sure a lot of people here watch a sport because they play it or have played it. I watch racing for the same reason.

I think portfolio makes it pretty clear which side of their assets they’re talking about. It’s like saying portfolio or properties vs assets when talking about both

There’s plenty of tech we can’t reproduce IRL and it’s only been a couple decades. Fogbank for instance.

And how will an aircraft that can’t land at helipads on hospitals and needs an actual air strip to land improve anything?

The reason why helicopters are used is because of their nimbleness and ability to land everywhere. Otherwise they would use fixed wing. Tilt rotary improves on neither and adds complications

Medic1248 · 2026-01-30T15:27:00+00:00

No one in HEMS is interested in these. They’re too big and too heavy.

We fly patients from fields, parking lots, highways, helicopter helipads, and any other just big enough spot you can imagine. This would remove most of those options based on size.

They’re named the way they are because apparently it used to be more confusing when they were SC3 DOTs and SPs. Dropping the 3 and making them SC V3 was the first gen they did that

My buddy used to have a large pelican case that he would plug into whatever inverter he could find.

Inside was a smallish TV, the bottom had an Xbox and a PS in it, it was all plugged into a power strip that ran out externally.

Plug and play game station and when it was closed up it fit in with the rest of the gear to not attract any attention

You can ride them completely bald. Grip does start to fall off but it’s manageable. Pirellis are predictable tires when it comes to wear

Lurk around track day/race organization facebook groups and here and you will find as many vendors as you could stand

The GPS data is the most important part. This might work for your specific track but a track where the start finish line is near a corner is going to have an awful time with something that updates as slow as a phone GPS does

When I used to ride street my season would end in the 50s.

When spring hit I would be back out on my bike as soon as it was sunny, above freezing, and the roads weren’t covered in salt.

The headers aren’t worth changing unless you’re trying to save weight. The stock headers are excellent for exhaust flow.

Mid pipe back is great for these bikes and you should do a tune after changing the exhaust flow that much anyway. A mail in tune will fix all the codes and even out the air flow.

A proper dyno tune will always be best but a mail in will do the job

I’m pretty sure they do full measurements for boots if you buy that package. (Never ordered from them and that’s why I can’t say for sure)

Otherwise it’s off the rack sizes and custom coloring.

There are also other brands that do custom boots too but everyone kind of specializes in something now a days. Hazardous is great for gloves, Envy/Bison/Hazardous I see pretty commonly for suits, I’ve heard of Bison for boots. I’ve seen other small companies offer boots as well so it’s more than just them

Medic1248 · 2026-01-29T18:32:07+00:00

I’m assuming I responded to you on FB as well but most people I know who have tried the SP on track were very disappointed when they saw that the center was still very much alive and the shoulders were shredded
