    The Dark Side of CPR

    Maybe because it is true ?? My entire family is medics or ER nurses and have been since 1975. Its a shock to lay people. DNR and DNI is in my will. So it at least in Maine its a part of most peoples will , and not associated with a terminal condition.. Even though we all have a...

    The Dark Side of CPR

    EMT classes are full of "what ifs" Field medicine is not cut and dried and there are so many variables Say you are the only one in a mass capsize incident You are fine but in the water There are bodies sunbmerging There are screaming people What do you do?

    The Dark Side of CPR

    Still , the articke does not address death from solely hypoxia. We are more apt to find people who have hearts that are in great shape but with no oxygen as in drowning WILL stop. For petes sake do sone CPR in the field Giving those rescue breaths and clearing the airway may all that is needed...

    The Dark Side of CPR

    and you are sure the tag wasn't a plant to cover a crime? Good Samaritans can be sued ( you can be sued for anything) but conviction for assault won't happen. Its best to be familiar with State Laws.. I can only vouch for Maine and Connecticut. DNR's usually have strict criteria...

    The Dark Side of CPR

    It is meaningless.. There is no way to check the veracity of such an order outside controlled settings..We in the field proceed according to protocol and the hospital may have been able to check during transport.. We simply do not have the time.. Two or three people is what you get on...

    The Dark Side of CPR

    I was a paid paramedic for thirty years. Of course it was mostly hopeless because the ACLS protocol had to be implemented within 8min of cessation of breathing and pulse and our response times were almost always longer due to the geographical area. We were paid on station...

    Swift Wildfire and Dragonfly

    I would go with the Wild.. It is far steadier if you want to change to sitting and have an exercise outing with a bent shaft and hit and switch. But as the block coefficient of the Wild is5.9 it per se is not a fast boat and as it is turny ( not so much as the DF) your...

    Retracing Ancient Routes to Hudson Bay

    I guess cause my circle of friends includes couples who love to trip together. You probably are right in the overall population. However my female friends are usually the instigators of trips.

    Old Town Discovery Sportsman vs Old Town Next?

    ieee! Please have a soothing beverage at hand and in a comfortable chair. It's common to invest in a boat and forget about the paddle. This might be of interest considering how hard it is to find a longer paddle, Its 35oz and nylon and glass and reasonable price. This one is over...

    Retracing Ancient Routes to Hudson Bay

    Brought back memories of casting for old overgrown portages in Wabakimi. We did find some in the Pikitigushi area.You had to learn to thinkk like a portage. Where would I be if I were a portage? We spent lots of time wading through Labrador tea, looking for old blazes.We also found old...

    Old Town Discovery Sportsman vs Old Town Next?

    Most mass manufacturers don't go above 240. I have an Aleut one piece paddle made by a friend that I no longer use ..It is 260 cm or thereabouts..Too big for me. For fishing you might find it just getting in your way. It is wood but not clunky. Whereabouts in Maine are you? I...

    Silver Springs, Florida Day Trip

    We ran Silver one way in Feb and also because the current on the Ocklawaha was not strong we paddled from Rays part way to Gore..We loved the quiet seclusion of that river. Silver can be a zoo literally and yes people were swimming about halfway down..We have seen gators but that...

    Good idea?

    Yes if you will buy me a Beaver! Sometimes you have to paddle it to get exactly to a dock and if those float's fill with water a handy way to get the water out! Whos buying?

    Maine Moose Hunting Guide

    Moose are the most dangerous animals in Maine. More so than bear. They are instinctual animals with the brain the size of a grapefruit. In May they are cranky as they are hungry and new browse is sought. I was able to read a moose hackles up feet spread head down. Thou shalt not pass. Had I...
