    Ontario's new 'Street Racing' laws

    When you get to dig brain matter out of your boot tread from an innocent driver because someone had to be speeding, then you can complain.  Or try and get to the pregnant lady whose water broke in the 6 hour back log on the highway. I used to speed allot, but not in heavy traffic.  Concider it...

    DNR Order

    Just from Civi Land in Ontario, There needs to be proper documentation including a Doctor's signature. And as Paramedics we have the right to not follow a DNR if we think something is not right (as in not Correct) about it. Even with DNR tattooed on your chest, it won't stop the efforts. It...

    Blackwater Security Consulting Banned in Iraq

    Wes, I quoted you today when tossing an idea to Blackwater about cameras on their primaries and vehicles. They already have them in trials.... (Maybe the OPP should put them on their sniper rifles to prove the ....... had an AK, not a broomstick.) Cheers, Ben

    RANT about COPS

    I think it also depends on who and how it is being said. My brother(a copper) and I always throw names back and forth, but it is always in jest and not a public display. I did pose a question to him that he only answered with a raised eyebrow. "If police officers are refered to as Bacon...

    Protesters Banner Kitchener Colt Plant

    On a side note, I was fortunate enough to get a tour inside many years ago. My girlfriend's mother arranged the visit, and I was almost confused as to which to "jump" on in appreciation. ;D Love to elaborate on the visit and what's inside, but still following the keep my cakehole shut...

    Infantry.....what Do You like About it? And what is your weapon of choice?

    The only good thing about the C-5 GPMG was that occasionally the timing would cause it to play a tune so we could all "guess that song". I liked the Infantry when I was OP FOR in Iltis's.( I'll not expand, for self preservation purposes ;D) The Best weapon out there is a Pissed off Canadian...

    "DEGLOVING"

    Not to be confused with the "FOCUS" possibly said to certain types of patients. As in "Focus on your breathing; yes, direct it away from me" F*** Off Cause Your Stupid... So I've heard.. Ben

    "DEGLOVING"

    To add for Treatment, Burn dressings! ( Especially if the area is large.) Alittle Sterile water sprinkled ever so gingerly, wrapped with a nice bunch of Kling. To control the Vomiting,  FOCUS on what you have to do! When you let yourself "lull" that's when the quezzies will get yah! One of...

    You got to be kidding me....Adult Sudden Death Syndrome?!

    I was making reference to the "catchall" terms. They are similar because they are catchall phrases that Doctors/Corners use when they don't know. On the side, there is "SOD".  Sudden Oak Death Syndrome I was reading about last night when I got home. Thought it was funny. Cheers Ben

    Just some Police humor :)

    One for the Kids. An Officer was doing Radar on a quite road near the end of his Friday night shift. The only car that came by was just a little over the speed limit. What caught his attention was the back seat full of Penguins! "What's with the Penguins?  Look it's the end of my shift, just...

    On Killing

    Almost finished "On Combat" and I can't wait to read "On Killing" to know what he is making reference too. Understanding "normal" physical and phsycological reactions to situations and how to involve your spouse into understanding of what your going through is a great asset. Thought I'd...

    'CPR Glove' invented by Ontario students sets investors' hearts racing

    How effective could this glove be on Obese or tiny people? Compression depths do vary by the size and age of person, and strength of rib cage. It could be a nice reminder, "No were going with this protocol now, you know the one we were doing three years ago!" Money should be spent on...
