I've always wanted one of those for my band. Be pretty easy to fit all the gear in there plus the extra seats can carry the band. You've got storage compartments for my drumsticks and heads and then other things like leads and picks then you can chuck the amps on the stretcher and wheel them in easy!

The lights would come in hand for the dodgy parks you have to do sometimes too.

What's the difference between Respond Alarm and Respond Private Alarm? Is an Alarm a system that notifies MFS directly and a Private Alarm notifies a third party like security?

Also, what's an ASE device?

SAAS / Re: SAAS Stations: Do we need more?

Again, not all uni students are bad!

What about east/south east? There aren't any stations that cover Kensington/Burnside/St Georges/Glen Osmond. The closest would be City, Campbelltown and Mitcham? Maybe Stirling, but I doubt they will be dragged down for an eastern suburbs job.

But yes, more staff are needed, considering both North and South have had coverage issues over the last couple months.

Hahaha...I was gonna chuck a pun in there but I thought it was really quite self-explanetary.

But yeah, it's quite irritating isn't it?

Haha nice call.

But I think it's good to make sure your managers still get some clinical time so that they keep in touch with reality and know what their crews go through as well as keeping their skills up :).

Well Congrats on such a good career to him and hopefully I'll get to meet him at Flinders next year (assuming I get into Paramedics).

Who will be taking the Delta Romeo 1 spot?

Mr Teddy in reply to your comment on my submission. I went to the story on the TT site and there is just a text file there with the SAAS website and volunteering with SAAS. Was expecting to see the story about this issue. So have thought that SAAS had put a court order on it for TT not to show it on their website.

They might not have uploaded the video yet.

I have been to Strath station since this has happened (and I know a few members from Strath) and I know that the people there are pretty cool.

But I still have the letter saying otherwise :p

Bill, it's been a stated CFS and MFS position for ages that crews will not be paged for non MVA Medical First Response, thats SAAS's role.


Happened a couple of weeks ago, in Peterborough, if I recall it correctly. Lady in cardiac arrest, ambulance coming from Jamestown or similar.



Thats what the TT story was about.

I don't understand why CFS/MFS/SES can't be paged to help in rural areas. Surely volunteers sign up to their respective service to help the community? Isn't responding to the medical emergency of one of their community members until appropriate help arrives doing just that? It's really no different to that CFS member doing the same thing for someone on the street till Ambulance arrives.

If the situation was slightly different, say both Ambulances were out on important jobs and this happened, would the story still be the same?

Also good to see that the story wasn't exactly negative towards SAAS and wasn't hugely exaggerated. Although, I would have liked to see them mention the increase in workload for both metro and volunteer stations. I've heard that the last couple of days have been interesting, saw a no cover down south page for a Noarlunga crew and I know that there was no cover around the city/North Adelaide the earlier this week too. The public would hate to know that resources are spread that thin and we don't need SAAS turning into NSWAS...

« on: November 29, 2010, 08:57:54 PM »
I know their callsigns are simply MedSTAR 71 for the 0700-1900 team, MedSTAR 81 for the 0800-2000 crew and so on.  Similar to all the SAAS crews, not sure what their pager callsign is.

SAAS / Re: The use of Paramedic by unqualified groups
« on: November 21, 2010, 11:15:28 PM »
Hear, hear teddy!

That is kind of eye opening. It's frustrating seeing things like this, I don't want to be a nurse, I don't want to work in a hospital. I want to work on an Ambulance. If I want the autonomy I ultimately need to be a Dr, but how many Drs work on Ambulances? Pretty much none. If nurses have slightly more autonomy that's great, but they can't work on an Ambulance. So what do I do?

Maybe I be a Paramedic and hope for the best in the future? :)

However, you say the standardisation is the degree? From what I hear, the FUSA degree is pretty shonky, I've had students, paramedics and even one of the lecturers tell me that. The sad thing is, the degree is pretty much run by Paramedics. Why can't they all band together and say: "For so long we have wanted to be recognised as professionals, how about we actually fight for that and make our degree as good as we can and push for change?" From what I have heard, there has been behaviour by teaching staff in the degree which is far from professional. I know that Flinders itself doesn't help the situation at times, but what you guys need to do is band together, push some buttons and get some action moving.

I can see the potential, at least one person here wants to be the best they can be!

Intruiging...

For such a shitty health system, the US has standardized registrations and exams and someone who isn't a Paramedic and calls themselves one is breaking the law by doing so. Silly we don't have this here.

I'd love to work as hard as what Bill does, if only I were as smart and talented as him in order to fill his boots :) To be honest though, I don't know what would make him retire, except the grave :P

And again, I reiterate, what I said is purely a joke, inspired by the Chuck Norris Facts. I told Bill that exact line too which he laughed at! I was thinking of making a Facebook fan page, but I thought it might be a bit too much :P

Dude, chillax. It's satire! Just exaggerating his awesome skills. I am always one of the first to defend him if people suggest he just wants the limelight, which is far from the truth.

My comment was just a play on the awesome stories he tells.

I've heard that he once performed CPR on 6 Orphans simultaneously while fending off the Indonesian army with nothing but a stick.
