Here's a twist- Hypothetically: You are notified that you can 'cancel', but decide to continue in. While doing so, you negligently cause an accident. Do you have increased liability in this instance?

Can you cite this law?

Only a handful left, and they are mostly approching replacement. Locally, 2K97 out of Poughkeepsie (patrols the Taconic) is the last one. The car assignments are being reassigned to slick-tops as they are replaced.

We should let photographers, or the general public determine what is "too close" and what is "safe enough distance" from a fire, Haz-Mat, shoot-out, etc? Why even put up any tape, surely the public can be trusted, no?!?

White unmarked Tahoe usually means MTA K9. All MTA K9's are in white unmarked Tahoe's with LED packages. If he was on the Hutch, he was probably working the New Haven or Harlem Line.

Peekskill Cortlandt Mohegan Putnam Valley Garrison Philipstown Verplanck Yorktown Mahopac Falls (on occasion) Croton (on occasion) And many parts of Yorktown would be well over 10 minutes.

Members of Fire/EMS/Police are stopped for DWI (in POV's) with more frequency then most people will ever realize. This includes paid and volunteer ranks. It’s a HUGE problem. There is probably an above frequency of FDNY and NYPD members, for no other reason than they’re what, 50,000+ of them. The law of averages suggests they would get stopped the most, there are just so many more of them. Anyone who believes career fire, volunteer fire, career EMS, volunteer EMS, and law enforcement are immune from DWI, you are mistaken. I can speak from extensive experience in this matter, not innuendo, rumor, etc.

Usually, yes. Always? No. Seems to especially be with the older crowd who have used the same hospital and/or PCP for years.

Westchester area hospitals use diversion as a fairly common practice, especially during the winter months. The problem often is convincing patients to go to a different hospital, and pitting you, the provider, between a rock (patients wishes) and a hard place ('unhappy' ER nurses). If a patient wants to go to HVHC, and your efforts to talk them into Phelps, NWHC, Putnam, etc., are unsuccessful, its off to HVHC you go.

Can you provide any case law related to this? Or examples of (successful) civil action resulting from one of these "failure(s) of duty to act"? There are a number of notable cases, mostly involving Police and response to domestic violence (or lack thereof), in which State and Federal Courts found that while law enforcement had a duty to act, civil recourse could not proceed if there was infact a failure to act.

Well, I doubt he was drinking at the "Closed" Hess Station. Besides, in New York, case law says: keys in the ignition = operation of the vehicle.

NYSPIN responses will indicate if the subject is CURRENTLY WANTED or if he/she is a PREVIOUSLY DEPORTED FELON, but not that they are simply "illegal".

I think only about 100,000 of those were mine! Maybe 150K, TOPS!

Was this show set in CA? Or am I thinking of a different fire-related show?

Situation #1 - You, the Medic, should be in charge of patient care. Situation #2 - If you have ALS gear, considering accompanying the BLS unit to the ER. Without ALS gear, your not much better equipped than the BLS unit, so turning care over to BLS seems reasonable.
