I think it should say "The whole group will face the death penalty."

I'm not bashing you here, just my point of view....She would have done it anyways, gate or no gate. when there is a will there is a way, especially when you are that sick in the head. Why ruin a nice park by putting up a big ole gate now cause of some wacko. Why make the taxpayers pay for this gate and installation just for a rare incident like this. It is unfortunate what happened, dont get me wrong, I was sick to my stomach reading this. But a gate wouldn't have changed the outcome IMO, maybe just the location.

R.I.P. Thank you for your service.

those things are beauties. I think it looks more like a Volvo though. But its sharp. I really like it

Like a turbo? lol. And if I am correct this is Navistar's DPF regeneration system. Same thing on the fords. Causes some pretty poor fuel mileage

lol no. I think its a special solution you have to add. IIRC its AUS 32 or something. Urea and nitrogen i believe. supposed to reduce NOx from diesel exhaust. I'll keep my 7.3 powerstroke

If found guilty he is just as much a criminal as the dealers. Do the crime, do the time.

For some reason PCP comes to mind....

My fire department had a formal training session in regards to these types of suicides. you gave a great overview of the topic. Although I dont know if most patients will initiate the 9-1-1 response. That is why we also trained for the civilian who discovered the body and entered the car, especially in the event the victim did not label the vehicle. If you catch them as they initiate the response, you can try to rescue them, but USE EXTREME CAUTION. I would not attempt rescue without a SCBA, or even a full class A or B Hazmat suit as it might not be H2S after all. Not worth risking your life in a situation like this. If I recall correctly, if you smell a "rotten egg" odor, you are in big trouble already. H2S will inhibit the cytochrome oxidase pathway in the body similar to Cyanide. This will lead to hypoxia and death. I am only working on a couple hours of sleep right now but I do not recall any treatment Pre-hospital providers can provide besides a secure airway. You very well may be correct on the "poppers" though. I will have to go back through my notes, but I think in the ED we will hyperbarracs and assess for MetHb. But overall, I think the chances they succeed are high. Anyone else catch that the license plate was a "MD" plate???

Wow, right near my home. I will definitely be on the look out. God bless this girl and her family. I pray for all affected.

I love the Mars 8 lights. Great choice. Nice rigs

my family used to have a house in Vermont which we would basically live at during the winter. One day in late winter, our neighbor was shoveling off his deck when an icicle came down. The icicle struck him in the head and went right through his body, killing him instantly. Ice is a very dangerous threat often overlooked.

Nice Shots Andrew. I like the color scheme. I gotta come down and visit soon! good seeing you last weekend.

that thing got a Hemi in it?????

good thing he wasnt pulling his 5th wheel trailer!

:lol:

why do people put their batteries in the fridge? I never understood that.

That was freaking awesome. plain and simple

R.I.P Officer. Terrible tragedy.

I agree with Helicopper. If he cleared the intersection and the civilian failed to yield, it is his/her fault. But as helicopper said, they will probably argue it.

+1 RNEMT - only one you missed was a tonsillar herniation lol.

I do as well if there is no other means in this situation.

hyperventilation is still part of ER treatment for signs of ICP/herniation. you want to achieve a PCO2 of 30. it creates cerebral alkalosis and reflex vasoconstriction of arterioles leading to decreased cerebral blood volume. However in this case hyperventilation is contraindicated. Hyperventilation is not to be used within the first 24 hours of onset of herniation. you also need to be able to monitor ABGs. Other treatment for herniation is sedation (propofol or fentanyl) especially if the patient is agitated. you can also use diuretics (mannitol) if they have normal renal function, Barbituates (decrease o2 demand of the brain) 10mg/kg load and then titrate to 1-3mg/kg/hr. At the hospital they might do surgery as another option. Source - PA school - Edit - it is not contrainticated, I just looked back in my notes. It says, "try to avoid in the first 24 hours"
