My name is chester. I am sending out a message to all ems, fire, and police crews. I have designed and patented a product to make all of your lives easier. I call it the Home Emergency Lamp Post or H.E.L.P.. It is a mailbox post that has illuminated house nimbers. It is also equipped with a strobe light and siren, that when activated, alerts neighbors that assistance is needed, as well as guides rescue crews to the correct home. It's known that neighbors want to help each other, they just don't know help is needed until they hear or see emergency crews responding. H.E.L.P. allows you to get immediate assistance, minutes before you guys could even arrive. We believe that neighborhood help during the first few minutes of an emergency could mean the difference between life and death. Please view http://www.homeemergencylamppost.com for more info.. I hope this info. is helpful not only to all first responders, but also to future emergency victims. Thaks
Hi,My wife and I purchased an AED (automated external defibrillator). We took the online training course and have a question concerning the method of giving artificial respiration. A folded face mask with a one-way valve was supplied with the AED. It is small and can be attached to a keychain. We live alone and want the best survival rate possible. Assuming that only one person will be giving the CPR, I want the easiest way to deliver air. I know I can buy a shaped mask made of soft plastic. With either masks the rescuer still has to stop compressions and change their body position to deliver air.I know this is Very physically demanding. Would it be better to use a “Bag Valve Mask” and squeeze the bag to deliver O2? There is another possibility. Should I use a system that uses an oxygen bottle with a face mask? Do I stick with the shaped mask? Maybe I need way more training to do more than use my breath to supply air. I don't much care about cost. The AED cost $1,500. My wife's life is priceless. Thanks, Ted

Hi, I'm Jayne and I run Narcaid, a UK paramedic training facility. We sepecialise in helping paramedics/EMTs recognise and manage drug related presentations, and we supply courses to UK ambulance service NHS trusts. I am hoping to make contact with UK crews and learn from their experiences, as we are now getting many of the drugs familiar to yourselves over here, courtesy of the Internet.
At the moment we are researching Vicadin overdose, and are looking for anyone who could share their experinecs of dealing with patients who have presented following use of this drug. We are happy to offer free places in our online Virtual Presentation Clinic to anyone who can help us out. The information will be used to train other emergency service personnel.
I just thought I would be the first to post a blog entry so here goes. (don't expect much yet, I can't write worth a damn. Hell I can barely talk without screwing it up!)
The website just went through some changes. I wanted to make this more the "community like I had planned and the forum that was on here was going to be a real bitch to integrate so I got rid of it. I think that the new one should work quite well for us.
There were a number of problems with the site lately.
1. When testing a new script that would have made it easier to back the site up so we don't lose anything if the site should go down or if the server crashed and we lost data I found that the backup script didn't save all of the data and the database for the photo gallery was DELETED!!! WTF Anyways I was able to get the site back up with a backup but the gallery backup I had was bad... Oh well I wanted to do more with the photo gallery anyways so now I am in search of something that is a little more user friendly.
2. When upgrading the forum all of the user name data was scrambled and half of the users were duplicated by one of the scripts and I had to spend 2 days sorting it out. I hope none of you had problems getting on. I seen a few of you on here but did not get a chance to see if things were working ok for you. Everything should be back to normal now.
I have added the new profiles to the site and you will have to go in and enter whatever it is you want to share with everyone on the site. The old profiles that were in the forum are gone. It would have taken a long time to sort that out so you will have to start over. Sorry. But there are some new options and feel free to let me know if there is something else you would like to see in the profiles. And don't forget to upload a pic of yourself. It will show on the forum and in your profile.
I will be adding some other things soon like a map that will show where everyone is from, and a private messaging system to further the communication on the site. As well as a couple of other things.
