I used to work in a blood bank and on multiple occasions had to empty out biohazard waste bins to look for an empty blood packet because some documentation had been missed

This is giving me flashbacks

Oh dang they made you reopen a sealed clinical waste bag? :wtc:

None of our poo poo gets recorded. We just chuck em.

I saw it happen once. A nurse re-opened a bag and fished out a removed catheter because she forgot to note what size it was when they attempted to re-catheterize the patient.
Yes she placed it up against the patients penis to-make sure it fit.
I reported her which only resulted in me being the bad guy.

Here, paramedics just fill out "recognition of death" forms.
Once we cease resuscitation or decide to not attempt resuscitation due to injuries incompatible with life (a phrase that will rarely be said), then we just fill out the recognition of death form.

This isn't pronouncing death. We leave the form with the cops, say cya lol and whenever a doctor decides to show up they look at the recognition of death form and confirm/pronounce the death.

95% of time this is for old people who die their bed.

How do the feathers end up in a vehicle to fall out?

"Stay back" placards are magic legal runes that mean anything you don't have the object in hand, stuck in the windshield, or on dash cam, you're not going to get any compensation from the other vehicle because it was an uncontrollable road pebble and obviously the government's problem.

It might be a hollow victory but a lot of insurance companies cover windshield work with a minimal claim process and reduced or no deductible because getting cause is getting blood from a stone but they absolutely do not want you using a compromised windshield.

Hell yeah. The only good thing about my insurance is they offer free windscreen replacement and free tow truck.

Literally that's standard practice. Our safety is more important then the patients, because we could be the patient then and cost more people their lives if we lemming into a chemical spill. A video played to all emergency response is of a cop that went into an ammonia cloud gassing off a crashed truck that he didn't see the placard on. He went to rescue the driver who was passed out on the ground and within 1 minute was on the ground gasping and dead in 3.

That's why ems stages in an area till they know what's they are treating for chemical exposures. We can't save someone if we will end up needing saved getting to you

Just like how you never try and rescue someone that falls in the pig poo poo lagoons. You will die. They are already dead

In EMS I use the rule of thumb for industrial incidents.
Reach out your thumb towards the fire/chemicals. If it's larger than my thumb then we too close. Hold and wait for fire service.

A retweet caught my attention and I spent nearly an hour learning about the "chemical coridor" AKA cancer alley.
Spanning the river from Baton Rouge to New Orleans there are hundreds of petro-chemical and plastic plants right beside dense urban area's.
Turns out the law only sets out a legal minimum of 500ft distance between housing and industry zones.
Just go follow the river on google maps between the two cities and look at just how terrible it is. Hell even when you get into the large cities there are massive plants in the densest zones too. :chloe:

There have been dozens of chemical releases over the past several decades which covered entire neighborhoods. All covered up of course and the locals are rarely notified until they find it hard to breathe.

I'm always amused when watching American real life TV, someone has a medical issue in public and the Fire Department is sent, instead of paramedics in an ambulance.

I know that firefighters have medical training, but it's weird to see some guy faint and be attended on by 6 guys wearing fireproof trousers, riding a big red firetruck filled with pumps, ladders and axes - instead of perhaps two paramedics in an actual ambulance filled with medical stuff.

It's a weird thing in the US.
Most of the fire departments work and callouts are medical and ambulance related work, but most of their funding is received for fire. They have an iron grip on their EMS due to this, but all of their FD funding generally doesn't go to the EMS sector so it's very neglected and under-funded.
Firefighters and paramedics are two completely different jobs too and international standards recommend that they aren't staffed or run by mix FD/EMS departments as this causes so many issues which results in sub-standard EMS system for many US cities and states.

In actual civilized places EMS is a separate profession to FD and rightly so.

A member of the emergency services told Ria news agency that the partygoers had ordered 25kg of dry ice to cool down the pool at the Devyaty Val (Ninth Wave) complex.

Several guests who had been in the sauna dived into the water to cool off.

Immediately the swimmers started to choke and several lost consciousness.

Preliminary analysis indicates the cause of death was suffocation.

Dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide and if it is released in an area without proper ventilation, it can cause people to inhale dangerous amounts of the gas.

Submarines are terrifying. You'd have to be crazy to volunteer to actually serve on one in the military.
One of the more terrifying aspects of Submarines is their active sonar pings can literally rip a human to shreds if it's emitted close enough.

On August 25, 1994 a scuba diver was accidentally exposed to testing of the US Navy's LFA sonar system. (Comments submitted at Public Hearing of California Coastal Commission, 12/12/97). The ship transmitting the sonar was over 100 miles northwest of the diver who reported distinct and disorienting lung vibration as a result. Pestorius and Curley (1996) exposed Navy divers to low frequency active sonar and reported that one of the divers had to be hospitalized and was later under treatment for seizures. A Hawaiian resident who was in the water when the Navy was conducting their low frequency active sonar test in Hawaii in March, 1998 was disoriented and nauseous afterward and had to see a physician who diagnosed her with symptoms comparable to acute trauma. (Declaration filed in court, March 25, 1998.) The Navy admitted that this swimmer was exposed to the sonar at 120 dB while she was in the water, far below the operational sonar at 240 dB. In her court declaration this woman also detailed the behavior of nearby dolphins while the broadcast was taking place. The dolphins' behavior, in her view as a naturalist and long term observer of dolphins, was abnormal, including staying close to shore, staying near the surface and vocalizing excessively.

According to the Navy's own test results on the bioeffects of low frequency (100-500 Hz, which is the frequency range of LFA) underwater sound on human divers, at 140-148 decibels a small number of divers rate their aversion to the sound as very severe. At 157 decibels they estimate that at least 20% of divers will immediately abort an open ocean dive. At 160 decibels they say the lung resonance created by LFA may induce "significant decrements in vestibular function." This effect on vestibular function may have caused the stranding of the beaked whales in the Mediterranean (Nature, 1998) when they were exposed to the sonar at 150-160 dB. Lung hemorrhaging was observed in rodents exposed to 170-184 decibels. Above 184 decibels liver hemorrhage and soft tissue damage are likely. The Navy says significant concussion effects are unlikely to occur at levels below 194 decibels but don't explain how they reached this conclusion. According to the Navy's Draft Environmental Impact Statement the sonar sound field around the transmitting ship will be 180 dB up to 1 km away and 150-160 dB up to 160 km away (100 mi) . This means that many marine animals will be exposed to LFA sonar levels capable of causing stranding and, possibly, lung hemorrhaging over large areas of the ocean.

Why crude oil trains keep derailing and exploding in Canada � even after the Lac-M�gantic disaster?
CBC News obtained five Transport Canada inspection reports from 2016 to 2020 for the CP line that stretches 183 kilometres from Wynyard, Sask., through Guernsey to Saskatoon, the province's most populous city.
The reports detail hundreds of problems found by inspectors: 131 "non-compliances" and 215 "concerns," including missing or defective railway ties (the wooden planks anchoring the track) and broken joint bars (which connect two long pieces of rail).
Ian Naish, a former director of rail investigations for the Transportation Safety Board (TSB), which investigates rail crashes, reviewed the inspection reports for CBC News.
He says the Saskatchewan track was in "really bad shape."
"That's an awful lot of non-compliance reports and concerns, and it looked like they were consistent over the three or four years," Naish said.
"Neither derailment was a surprise at all."

Oh man Rally is crazy, I love it.
I used to work EMS at rally's very similar to the above. Saw lots of crashes and injuries.

The most OSHA of them all was on the first hard left turn, 100 yards after the starting point.
There was a farm gate on the right side of the bend and some spectators decided to gather on a mound just after it.

One of the cars flew down the road, out of sight and we heard a bang. Everything went silent for a moment but we heard nothing from the marshalls. Not totally unusual, a couple of cars had skidded on that turn previous and continued.
The marshall sent another car off the line, it rev'd and went but immediately slammed on the brakes because some dude was running up the middle of the track shouting for ambulance.

We rolled down to the first bend to find the car that crashed, had hit the farm gate, with it still attatched to the fence post and concrete foundation, sent it flying into a spectators head splitting his skull open.
Another spectator was hit by flying shrapnel and it lacerated his shin down to the bone.

They both survived but holy moley how the marshall missed such a major safety hazard is beyond me.
