Reply #18: Yes I have... and the tanker went on the side of the road

[nadinbrzezinski]

starting a nasty fire. Was not fun... and we got to pull hose, to fight fire, not magically go off...

As to CPR... I had that lesson drilled into me during a... drill.

That is why you find somebody who codes, you black tag. I have... including a two year old...

As to California... I know the protocols. You start CPR you transport CPR... you do not declare on the side of the road. The big exception would be... something like a major quake and you have no way to transport, Then and ONLY THEN you can have MED CONTROL do it over the radio.

They hate doing that.

Now were I worked, we could, again after calling medical control. Technically I didn't make the call, they did. And we did not transport dead... the coroner does, and as far as I know, at least in San Diego... the Coroner does. Same goes for San Fran.

They need advisers who have a clue, or just pull the damn thing off the air. Of course they could go down to the local college and buy a copy of San Fran protocols...
