:lol: Never seen a Medivac inbound to Saints, they always go to Renown since it's the only trauma center in the area besides Davis....who knows though I have been known to be wrong...and Medivac runs CCRN/CCP sorry orange jumpsuit man no DOCTOR suit here!

Sounds like you've been in the area once or twice. I'll grab an awful awful for myself as well while I'm there

I'm not familiar with an RTA...care to expand?

 

[MrBrown]

RTA is a road traffic accident ... and yes, Brown has been to the particular area in question, and he just loves it to bits.

Ah. We say MVA/MVC here but now I can thoroughly confuse anyone I ride with haha.

If your ever come back to visit let me know and Ill have that awful awful waiting.

Indiana State Law mandates that all ambulance services run B/P. I agree with the B/P law as well. Basic drives and provides basic care to pt. while on scene, and medic does the rest en route to the hospital.

I like the B/P setup, so long as the basic can get to handle the occasional stable patient in the back of the truck. If someone broke a bone and is refusing pain meds, or an elderly "sick" patient just needs a ride to the hospital, no reason why a basic can't sit in the back with them and give the medic a break.
