Thu, 3 September 2009 I happened to go out for a cup of coffee with a friend of mine this morning and found something unexpected in the parking lot. In the space next to mine was a pickup truck owned by a construction company with two containers in the back...labeled RADIOACTIVE. Barely secured with an old chain and skimpy padlock, these containers were just sitting in the open bed of the truck with nobody around. I'm certain they were legitimate. But in today's society, just leaving them out in the open was a bit odd. Certainly, these materials could be used for some untoward event, like a dirty bomb, but more concerning is the number of possibilities that are more likely to happen. Suppose this truck were to be involved in a collision, a roll-over or rear-end collision for instance. You find the containers after you approach, size-up and being patient care...or worse, you find the compromised containers only after patients have been taken to the hospital. How about fire? You arrive to find this truck fully involved. Only after extinguishment you find the melted, compromised containers. Do you have radiation detection equipment available? Would you even think about getting it out? Finally, what will the average citizen think of this? Two containers left out in the open and clearly marked radiation. Perhaps they'll call 9-1-1, how will you respond? Comments[0] |

Ask yourself what the most important thing is that you do in your role. Who defines your standards and expectations? When is "meeting minimums" not enough? US Air splash-down in the Hudson - No only life saving, but an example of a community reacting to save lives. Many lessons here! Is EMS faster for men? We'll look at a study that indicates that women are getting delayed care once EMS is on scene. Psychoactive medications may play a role in cardiac arrest. Anti-psychotic medication, past and present, may have a role in the cause of sudden cardiac arrest. This study states that patients on these medication may be at 50% greater risk of sudden cardiac arrest. This study underscores the need to include a medication history and medication profile on all patient and understand the risk potential of patients medication! Firefighters set fires for $10.00 an hour. I don't know whats worse; the fact that these guys set fires to get work or that they're only paid $10.00/hr to do it. Comments[0] |

We'll look at this technology as an excellent way of getting any message out to a targeted audience.

Our Topics - Domestic Terrorism in Aspen, CO. A recent bombing threat in Aspen meets the definition of domestic terrorism...and the public officials had to make a hard choice to shut down New Years Eve celebrations and keep people out of public areas in order to find the bombs and prevent injury and deaths. Now, they are facing a backlash from business. Y2K for the next generation...lets call it Y2K9. Zune mp3 players around the world stopped working last week due to a programming problem. You'd think we would have thought about that in todays computer industry. The situation makes me think about the 1999-2000 year changes and what we all thought would happen. What would happen today if we faced a Y2K or Y2K9 technology failure? Comments[0] |
