    "Keep on-scene time < 20 minutes for medical"

    I think that all the texts I have worked with from a student standard, have all stated a 20 minute scene time for a maximum for medical, and a 10 minute maximum for trauma patients. the 10 minute thing I believe is derived from the infamous "Golden Hour Rule" and the Platinum 10 minutes. of...

    HIPAA Violation or not?

    Yes and no, I am sure if the person has performed the same act on their own time off of company property and did not use hospital's system to upload it. I don't see how it would be a problem

    HIPAA Violation or not?

    Regardless of it being a HIPAA violation or not.. You are a volunteer at a local hospital, basically you are a employee that is not paid in dollars. Most places I have worked, have a "blanket policy" that covers social media use whether its regarding patient information or not, its still...

    I had a jeep that changed its on oil on a regular basis too... Its a common thing On the other note, Ford Edge is not a bad ride. the timing chains wear out on them cause they stretch out. But that's usually in the 150k mileage range.. So you got a good 90k to play with yet at minimal.

    Patch Trade/Collecting

    I'll see what I can do about both.. the DOH first responder wasn't a huge hit in my area. most just went through the American Red Cross First Responder course. now that they are requiring the PA DOH First responder Certification to be a Ambulance Attendant I see it becoming more popular.

    Another radical idea: scrap the idea of controlled victim egress.

    I think that it should fall under the "MCI" theory of casualties exceed resources. I had a bus wreck about 3 years ago where if we called all the trucks we needed to treat and transport all patients we would have depleted 3 counties and transporting of patients may have taken up to 3 hours...
