I was thinking instant, but your question just made me re-evaluate a strongly held belief.Unlike me, I've quoted a long post.......for continuity.
Before now, I've always thought that the whole BBFS crowd were fucking idiots. I have to admit that as with most things, my view is jaded by my own circumstances. I still have a good 30 years in front of me.
But............what about the 65-70 year old crowd? If diet and viagra can still provide you the wood to screw hookers, is that time to throw caution to the wind and only go with ones offering BBFS?
The drugs they have now a days can keep you going a good 5-10 years. After having lost loads of relatives to cancer, I'm thinking dying by HIV induced pneumonia might not be a bad way to go. Originally Posted by citizen44

Back in my Paramedic days, we saw a lot worse than this.
Both criminally and just WTF worthy.
EMS is there to save lives, unless a truly super asshole LE is at the scene, there is not much to worry about legally.
Now how you explain to your SO why you are in the hospital is a different story. Originally Posted by SweetDulce

I had already decided to retire early and go all in on every vice at 65 that would shorten my life span to 75. So in addition to the "fried everything", smoking and boozing lifestyle I had planned, I'm going to add BB'in every whore I can find. Even if you crap out on the HIV in the first year, you'll be able to hang on long enough before the money runs out
then there is the "hangover 2" method. roll him up in a sheet and stuff him in the ice machine. lol naw just call 911. oh i would recommend all providers take a heart saver and or 1st aid class.

depends:well, if he is biting his tongue what are you supposed to do anyway? risk having your finger bitten off? and what's the point of talking to an actively seizing patient? plus hold him down so you both can injure a joint? you excluded the only appropriate thing, and that is turning them on their side.
911 always - then as follows:
Heart attack Stroke?
-he can move into the hallway and be defined as "seemingly" passing bay when you heard him and came out to render aid. administer aspirin right away, under the tongue, lay him on back, elevate the feet. Use calm peaceful voice and check his cognizance frequently, wait for ems.
Seizure
-again, he can be moved, ensure he is not biting his tongue, try to hold him down, and try no to let him hurt you either. Use calm peaceful voice and check his cognizance frequently, wait for ems
Slip fall
-Spine or head - Still Conscious: Let him lead - he will tell you what he can tolerate. Control bleeding.
-Spine or head - Un Conscious: Don't move him, Control bleeding with direct pressure, wait for ems. GFTO asap.
Unknown Medical response: (if he pulls a Lamar Odom) ensure his airways are clear and check for vitals. wait for ems.
in all cases - gfto asap - after ems arrives Originally Posted by u12b8
