Thanks for your service, oh and thank you fellas for coming out and helping P-burg this morning on a bariatric call. It's nice to know that when we can't get enough volunteers to come out that we have crews at SFD always willing to lend a helping hand.

You are starting to get very annoying. All you want is self promotion and someone to pat you on the back because you are a self proclaimed HERO!!
Ocean City requested Bishopville for an engine company to assist them with a landing zone for Trooper 6 on St. Martens Neck Road with a 30 minute ETA. This is being dispatched as I write this.
WTF!!
A 30 minute ETA? That ambulance can be to PRMC in less than 30 minutes before the helicopter even lands. The helicopter has to land, take over patient care, do an assessment, load the patient, do another patient assessment and provide patient care. Then lift off and enroute to PRMC. Land at PRMC on the helipad, wait for PRMC staff to assist them. Transfer the patient to the stretcher, roll the stretcher to the elevator, transport the patient down the elevator. Then when the doors open they have to roll the patient to the emergency room, find an available room and transfer the patient to the hospital stretcher. Then the doctor may be available to take over care.
Now do you get the idea about how long this process takes and why it is better to transport that patient by land. Do you understand how and why it is much quicker to transport via ambulance. They are in Bishopville and not in the middle of Ocean City. Bishopville is probably a 20 to 25 minute ride driving the speed limit on a good day.
Someone needs to report this to the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems(MIEMSS).
When I looked down and saw 1 comment I was pretty sure it was that boing wannabe paramedic thanking SFD for their service. He wants a job in Salisbury so bad, but they won't hire him.
@4:49 PM the Bishopville fire crew is asking the ETA of the helicopter. It's still not on the scene. Worcester County had to check with Ocean City and they said it was another 10 minute ETA. Even the fire crew thinks it is taking to long. LMAO.

Did that patient in fact go to PRMC?
DeleteThat would be my question. Sometimes they are taken straight to UMMC or Johns Hopkins.

ReplyDeleteI've never applied for Salisbury. I wouldn't work for Salisbury. They don't pay enough and they haven't given a raise in like 7 years.

That's what "Command" said when the helicopter left the scene.
