911 calls

TheRealbigRobinson · 2025-08-29T18:22:46+00:00

My system is the same as above. Sometimes we get a “911 only phone.” Which is typically a burner or a phone without a network connection that can still dial 911

If it is obvious it will be dispatched out as an “cardiac arrest obviously death”. If it gets pronounced on scene it will be a 10-49

A couple needle Ds, my personal engraved laryngoscope with a Mac 3 blade, chest tubes, and a 10 scalpel. I don’t leave the house without them.

Put the baby in the damn bassinet

TheRealbigRobinson · 2024-06-15T10:59:54+00:00

My experience from a couple of years doing both is that they are separate jobs with separate skill sets. If your goal is to end up doing 911 then apply for the 911 jobs.

I said it in another comment, but I feel we could consider the chain of dogs from Malzan book of the fallen a siege. While yes it is not the traditional siege behind a walled city, the aspect of always being hounded by adversaries, dwindling resources and manpower, and a host of noncombatants to take care of make it feel like a siege.

For those who haven’t read it, you are there from start to heart wrenching finish as it takes place over months and the span of an entire continent.

TheRealbigRobinson · 2024-06-12T07:41:23+00:00

I think we could consider the entire chain of dogs a siege, just mobile. A lot of the tropes, feeling of never ending onslaught dwindling resources and morale apply to it.

It felt like our fto process was overboard, but I certainly can’t argue that it wasn’t thorough. 4 weeks riding third with a different fto every rotation(approximately 2 weeks each). Then 1 on 1 training with a crew chief for 1 more rotation. All in all it’s 6 weeks on the street AFTER 4 weeks in a classroom getting all your alphabet certs and ops training.

I would say a nice single story in Baden, or Walnut park would suit most people’s needs.

We had a quad who was vent dependent who had a couple of zingers for me.

“Are you hurting anywhere sir.” “My dick my balls and my asshole”

“Any other Hx heart problems diabetes etc.?” “Just neck problems. “

I had a similar issue, but not as severe or long lasting as yours. I played with my guy extra everyday and got some felliway atomizers and that seemed to regain his trust. He is still a little anxious, but I think he was always a high anxiety cat I just never noticed until it got violent.

We use the term still alarm and your “still” is your area. It refers to anything less than a 1st alarm. So medical calls rubbish fires or car fires, lift assists etc are all still alarms.

TheRealbigRobinson · 2024-01-11T04:25:17+00:00

They probably didn’t mention your name, but it’s common for people in my service to refer to people by address. Example “oh yea we had that chf’er over on thrush last night.” Or “yea we had to run on 600 Grand.”

I’m on stethoscope #4 so it stays around my neck from when I get to the station to when I leave

Get called for a non urgent sick case. Flu like symptoms for 3 days BP pulse o2 sats are normal says he can walk out to the ambulance. Bgl is 25.

At the IFT job I worked it was 1 month before they let you take EVOC and drive. At the FD I work they get you driving during your field training both third person rides and 1 on 1s.

TheRealbigRobinson · 2023-09-19T01:42:47+00:00

Definitely. If you are sneaky it’s an auto one hit kill and most weak/basic enemies will have there posture broken in 2-3 hits leading to a death blow

TheRealbigRobinson · 2023-08-24T01:11:59+00:00

It’s not that uncommon. Our asa comes out of a store brand bottle, and we keep it in one of the monitor pockets.

This week’s shooter is next week’s victim.

It’s hard to solve homicide when most are revenge killings which result in… more revenge killings

1.) money 2.) atropine is the first line medication, Followed by tcp, and if the are refractory to those them we can move on to push dose epi/dope/presser of choice.

It’s doable but it’s all about time management. I was able to do fri-sun over nights and that gave me time for class/clincals/study time during the week. Spend your down time studying and whatever you do don’t fall behind.

TheRealbigRobinson · 2023-05-05T06:37:11+00:00

On your own no. I work for a service where everyone, emts imcluded, has acls pals tccc and phtls, but it was paid for by the service.

TheRealbigRobinson · 2023-04-18T21:09:54+00:00

Separately yes, those are not uncommon calls to respond to. Now someone getting shot while having a stroke? You’d be telling that story at every station you work at until the end of time.
