Wanted: Photos of ambulance cot mishaps

[mycrofft]

Trying to spice up a presentation to non-ambo people about ambulance litters (cots). Anyy URL's I can access then ask for permissions? Need this mas quick-o.

There are a few silly ones out there you could use and some I don't know if they are real or fake (such as places overseas where people fall out of the back of moving ambulances).

If you want anything like that i could drag up a couple links probably.

[mycrofft]

These folks have never properly or even ever used them. Thanks!

Will be updating this post periodically with new videos, so keep checking back. Btw you can download these videos to your computer if you have firefox, you can find addons specifically for downloading youtube videos.

Ah, see this is a cot on a bariatric unit using the highly experimental miracle grease on the X-frame...

Took some air.

I searched thirty minutes and found nothing really good, and no stills.

I'm sure at some point, we've all said to a patient; don't worry, we haven't dropped anyone today.

Luckily, when it did happen - because you know it does - nobody nearby had a camera. I sure it'd be easy to stage, though.

[JPINFV]

I thought the joke was, "We only drop people on days ending with "y."

[Barney_Fife]

Luckily, pole stretchers don't seem to be that widely used in the US. Though, I hope the one clip was just for entertainment. The most likely mistake I could see, is two people walking the opposite directions, though.

[mycrofft]

ONE way to get their attention.

The best bet is to surf youtube...most services will NOT take pictures of a patient drop and then with hippa that brings in a whole new added charge on a civil suit.
So I would suggest youtube for the cell phone videos
