ReplyDeleteHelicopter ride to John Hopkins for a broken leg?
ReplyDeleteI guess PRMC doesn't do broken legs any more.
if I broke my leg I would go to johns Hopkins too, hell, if I had a splinter that I couldn't get out I would go there before stepping foot in the pig ranch. the last time they swept the floor was 1987. nothing but nightmares there
ReplyDeleteI agree. If only they got you feeling better as fast as they get your bill in your mailbox!
Delete126 PRMC does not handle broken bones like you are suggesting. The simply splint it and send you to POA. Or perhaps, they need a pediatric ortho..which we have none in this area...OR Maybe, when the parents heard the time it takes to get an appointment, they opted for the costly ride to JHU.
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, I hope the child heals quickly.
Perhaps it broke through skin and then yes it should be taken to a "real" hospital. I wish parents would realize how dangerous trampolines are. I have a friend who works there and he says that they have serious injuries everyday!
ReplyDeleteAnother case where idiot Jackleg wannabe paramedics called the helicopter and waited for over 45 minutes when the hospital is less than 10 minutes down the road. That poor child had to sit in the back of that ambulance and wait for the helicopter for over 45 minutes. They just sat there and waited while the child could have been in the care of real health care providers. What the Hell do you do for 45 minutes in the back of an ambulance while you are waiting for a helicopter. Please tell us what they did?? Then it takes the helicopter 30 minutes flight time from Salisbury to Hopkins? Can someone honestly say this was a justified call?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know who the clowns were that called for the helicopter? Please tell us who was on duty in Delmar that made that stupid call. They did that not too long ago on a call in Salisbury near the Centre Mall with a homeless person that got burnt. I wonder if it was the same idiot that tortured that poor man by waiting over 45 minutes. These clowns are dangerous and the are going to get someone killed!!
Who are these clowns? Can someone please post who they are so I can contact the medical director at MIEMSS, the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems myself. Please tell everyone who these jockstrap cowboys are!

You are full of crap! You must be one of those pansy EMT's who gets a boner looking at the helicopter and dreaming about being a flight medic. What a freaking goober. You do not know what you are talking about.

POA docs are real docs. PRMC ER docs are real docs. The problem isn't the hospital in this case the problem is the wasted scene time and denying the patient appropriate medical care. What they have done in this case is negligence and they should be disciplined over this. All involved including the wannabe medics, wannabe incident commanders and even the Far Poleece.
This is exactly why Bob Culver needs to reach in his pocket and find his nads. It's time for Wicomico County to take control of ALL fire and EMS in the County. IF they don't like it then cut off all the funding. There is absolutely no accountability in the county's fire service.
ReplyDeleteThis is nothing less than gross negligence on each and every one of them involved.
Someone definitely needs to report this to MIEMSS.

Oh bullcrap. My twelve year old broke his leg and was treated at POA and under their care for 6 weeks. They can handle anything. Those uneducated and inexperienced paramedics just use this as an opportunity to brag about having "a fly out today" just like they do in Ocean City. Nothing is transported by land there.
Bob Culver get off your butt and do the right thing. Quit sucking up to the fireman by giving them awards during your council meetings. They don't like you anyway.
ReplyDeleteMy son broke his arm years ago when he was 4 1/2. We took him to PRMC and the orthopedist was in surgery. They refused to call another doctor. We had to wait 5 1/2 hours for that doctor. They wouldn't allow him to eat or drink anything while we waited. They also wouldn't allow him to have any pain meds. The doctor walked in, wrapped his arm and told us to visit them at the office and walked out. He never introduced himself to us or told us anything. When he walked out I thought he was going to get something. He was gone. He had left the hospital. I will take my chances at Johns Hopkins to fix a broken bone.
