I took out two deer on one call. First I head dead on and it exploded. the second i just caught it's snout on the air vent and ripped it off. There was deer fur and guts all over the place. Even in the light bar! Both died.

I prefer manual vitals for the reason that Rid pointed out. There is information that can be gathered about the patient by looking and listening that a machine can't tell you. You hear the pulse with manual bp cuff and you feel the pulse with your fingers.

If I was in a hurry I would have gone IO instead of IV. Easy IO guns are nice. How ever, I am not sure if there is a contraindication for this drug IO. I am sure Rid will know the answer to that one.

Self explanatory. I will give you my name if it is needed. Otherwise people will call and request you or call and complain about you for stupid stuff. No name carries less weight. I don't want to be called to a lonely old woman's house to take her bp every day because I was nice and she is...
