The firehouse was right next door, with another fully stocked ambulance and crew sitting inside.

Oh, and the fact that the guy had a freaking cervical fracture under x-ray. He may have been ambulatory, but letting him WALK into the ER with absolutely nothing on...

I'm just very frustrated with some of what I'm seeing.

Did he get a halo? If not, I wouldn't be too fussed about the lack of spinal motion restriction. There is a big difference between an unstable fracture and a stable one. Plus there is zero evidence a c collar an back board would help anyway. That being said, he probably should have been on the gurney, and but if he volunteered to walk it was his own choice.

Whoops. Complete fail on my part, I read clavicle and not cervical.

Funny note: Until I started my EMS education, I definitely assumed 'cervical' referred to the female anatomy. The day I got my text, I was flipping through, kept seeing "stabilize cervical spine" and started picturing some ... odd scenarios in my head.

Then I flipped to the back glossary and all was made clear. Glad that happened BEFORE day one of class. :blush:

No fear, cervical can still refer to the cervix.

Almost got in trouble on Facebook. Someone I know from high school has been complaining that her car battery is dead and that she doesn't have enough money to buy a new one. I almost typed "if you stopped going to all those parties and stopped wearing 10 pounds of make-up everyday then you probably would have the money"

Oh I am. That's not the question. The question is when and the best answer is after my FTO time is complete in September rather than now. Although I may end up waiting until the spring seeing as I can't really ride it during the winter...
