Considering that I'm a heterosexual female who has yet to develop a taste for anything stronger than black coffee... :p

Oh... um... yeah, disregard.

Tour bus vs Big rig. As of right now 10 deaths. Gladly I am not working today

And more than 21 people transported to the hospital. That pretty much exhausts all our units at the time and most of the neighboring division's units.

Per CHP 13 fatalities with 31 additional injuries. MCI much?
All patients that the trauma center received had no long bone fractures or internal bleeding. They all suffered from various degrees of facial injuries

Wonder if the other two area hospitals got patients.

Unfortunately no. Got her to a stroke center as fast as reasonably possible (we were well over an hour by ground so flight was certainly a help) and they TPAed her right away. GCS improved from an 8 to a 14 but still full left side hemiparesis. Patient got flown to an interventional neurologist but they elected to not operate :/.

I'd presume Albany med does. They've had any specialty operation I've heard of so far. It's "the" hospital for the rest of NYS outside of the city.

We have not been able to keep an interventional neurologist in Colorado Springs, so they all go to Denver where there are at least two.

That's about where we're at with it, too. TMK one of our neuro-capable hospitals had the ability for a brief period, but was unable to sustain the neurologist performing this procedure.

I hear it's quite a remarkable procedure to watch, and often times yield phenomenal recovery from these patients deficits.

So we have heard, I was surprised it was not used on this patient.

One more week of academy, plus a total of 60 hours of driving....I am hoping to be released as a P2 by December.
Where did you end up? CC?
