CMs and First Aid

[CMGUY89]

That reminds me of when I used to go white water rafting in Maine. They would always tell us to be careful because the big problem if we got injured it would require paperwork. So don't fall out of the boat because it would require paperwork. Oh yeah and you getting hurt would suck too...

Don't let him frighten you. I was working PAC on Main Street one day when a geezer died quietly in his wheelchair during the show. I was half a block away, he wasn't in my zone, but the one next to it (do they even still *have* zones?). As a result, I only had to fill out three pages... on the clock.

Much better than being on the other end.

Was he a "Do Not Resuscitate?" or did you have to call the Alpha unit?What kind of questions are on the form?

What a way to go!

Just as long as his family dosn't come back and try and scatter his ashes!!

Absolutely! Hubby and I are two of those horrible parents who believe in saying no. We teach all those horrible things like waiting your turn, mom/dad said no, and of course the dreaded "behave yourself". And I actually pulled this one on our 12 year old the other day: "I brought you into this world, I'll take you out of it" Sadly for the boy his dad's comment was "Yeah! What she said." LOL

I'm a firm believer in taking the consequences of my actions, good and bad. When dealing with others I insist on the same policy. When it can be shown that a situation was caused by something beyond the influence or control of the individual, then they deserve to be given appropriate assistance and compense. But if the situation is caused by bad judgement, willful disobediance, or attempting to get "something for nothing", they deserve to get exactly what they already got. No Questions.

I'm sorry that you needed to have brain surgery and were having seizures. I guess that paramedic was too afraid after that to miss any more veins!

Actually the one freightened of more misses should have been the cop. ;) :D:

Oh yeah, we called in the Alpha Unit. How else to remove the body? His wife who was sitting next to him for the parade wasn't in any shape to take on the task.

The form was the standard "Witness Statement". It goes on for two pages just because it has so many options listed. The third page is needed because the form never has enough room to write down the options you *do* need.

You didn't have to wheel him out personally? Just kidding, I take it that it was a unexpected event, but I could imagine that some people could just pass and have a Do Not Resuscitate order, no need for fanfare. There is ALWAYS paperwork, though and yes, transport needed for out of the park....
I used to have to call the Organ Procurement People everytime there was a death on my floor, (oncology unit, expected deaths) that always took FOREVER.

Sorry for the delayed "official" marsupial welcome, LBelle! It's been a busy week. (That plus I'm possibly being stalked by a quill-shooting flying bongo.)
