Very Nice Truck - When did they stop putting the Stellaris labeling on the side rear windows?

I remember when I first became an EMT many moons ago and DNR's were started in CT. Patients family had the paperwork and back then being somewhat green, I may not have agreed with it back then, I rode the call in and just gave the patient O2 and made them as comfortable as possible to the hospital - that was when Meriden actually had 2 hospitals West and East Campus - Now they have midstate. Anyways, they had a floor for terminal patients on I think the 7th floor. We patched in to the ER told them what we had and they told us to just take the patient up there. It was actually pretty nice and peaceful up there like a hospice floor. Family got to spend time with the patient before they expired and say their goodbyes. Now after working EMS and in an ER as well as some family issues, I'm all for a DNR. Bad thing in CT is that in CT (not sure if it's still true - Izzy correct me if I'm wrong) but even if the patient has a valid DNR, they code and the family says work them you have to work them, which pretty much defeats the whole purpose. My Father, 3 years ago was a DNR, he coded at rehab, they had a DNR, but couldn't find it right away, AMR worked him as well as East Haven Fire. They got him to the hospital who also had his DNR on file but the ER doc said sorry he's tubed and now it has to stay in for 24 hours. This was clearly against my Dads wishes. He wound up having two more massive MI's While our family was all with him and they came in and defibbed him. I finally got pissed off enough to open my mouth and say hey, enough this is not what he wanted. We took turns sitting with him and sleeping for the next 2 days. Talking to him telling him it was gonna be ok now. The doctor came in the last day at 11:15am and said they were taking him to hospice, by noon he crossed. He picked the DNR for 2 reasons. 1. In 1999 my Mom died from an intracrainal bleed caused by someone dropping the ball and not checking her coumadin levels, but thats neither here nor there. they talked she just wanted to go, so he honored her wishes. for 6 years he missed her everyday and I mean bad, he did the DNR because he didn't want to end up dependent and more so because he wanted to be with her. They pulled the tube, gave him some O2, pumped him full of morphine and he went comfortably in his sleep. Not sure about you guys, but if I know I'm going and there's any way I might be a save but screwed up for the rest of my life or a veg, let me go. One of my old partners was transporting someone to the hosiptal when someone blew a light and t-boned the rig and flipped it which wasnt exactly easy as it was a medium duty. this is a guy that was fun to be around and work with, a guy who busted his a** to make the academy and to get through it and did. The Dream came true for him. But it didn't last but days. everyone did everything they could for him to save him - that was in 1999 - to date he is now in a colorado nursing home with a severe brainstem injury, with a treach, gets turned rolled moved from the bed to a chair cant talk, plus alot of other stuff. this is a friend and I will always love the hell out of him and feel sorry for him.but I cant see or even understand how it could feel like that, a prisoner in your own body. Sorry guys something real bad like that happends, if it gets to the end of my run with this hep c and the cirrhosis, put my down. I do not want to suffer like that. So there it is the whole nut from all sides. Sorry if I went on and on babbling. but I wanted to make sure I got my point accross. Who knows maybe it's this new trial drug they have me on - lol Joe Joe

This goes to show you never know what you're walking into. Sad to think some crazy a** would do this crap but there are some really sick and disgruntled people out there. Prayers out to all involved, their families and their extended families. All you guys stay safe out there. Joe

I have a system saber in uhf 16 channels with scan and encryption mode. love the radio but thinking of selling to upgrade. I actually got hooked on them when I worked White Plains for Metro/TransCare. Nice sturdy radio. A little big but great. I actually bought a little Yeasu and got rid of it because it was too small.
