Can you document this?  As far as I'm aware, California is the only state
which makes monitoring cordless phone conversations illegal.  I believe
the most recent court opinions at a Federal level specifically mentioned
cordless phones as being unprotected.  In addition, MPS / IMPS phones
are still legal to monitor, although not used much these days.

Yup.  This came about, along with the cellular ban, with the ECPA of 1986.
There is nothing inherantly protected about phone conversations which are
being broadcast over the air.

Hello all!

I've got a question that I hope some of you can help me with.  I am a college
junior majoring in pre-med, and just finished my EMT certification.  I would
like to know if any of you have been able to integrate full-time college 
studies and EMS work into your schedules.  I live at the University of Houston
campus, and would like to start doing EMS work, either paid or volunteer, to 
get some experience.  Do any of you know of any EMS opportunities in the 
Houston area that could be worked around a college class schedule?  I'd sure
appreciate any leads you could give me.

thanks to all.

	The actual device has been designed and is being tested already.  It is
not really a toilet plunger, though.  It has a suction cup device on the
side that contacts the patients chest and  cicrular handle, like a
steering wheel, attached to it.  There was a picture of it in USA Today
a couple of days ago.
	The idea behind it is that the suction cup helps expand the chest after
a compression in order to aid in getting more air into the lungs and
supposedly, also more blood flowing through the heart.
	The device would probably fit in its own bag.  But not a normal jump
bag.  It is not cumbersome.  I do not remember the exact demensions.  It
is something like six inches in diameter and six or eight inches high.

We had good luck with this idea at Lehigh...We now have three or four EMS
folks on duty at all times (including a couple of EMTs) who are paged by
campus police and use first aid kits and O2 from the police cars...It was a
hassle convincing the powers that be that there wasn't a big liability issue
here, but now the police are very happy that trained people first respond...We
have a good hand-off protocol with the  city EMS and their backup squads.

From the point of view of the EMS service responding, its a lot easier to deal
with bystanders if they're properly identified and part of a team that I've
had some contact with. You have to be real careful who you trust with patient
care.

When I was a squad chief I had a real hassle with a fellow who stopped by an
accident and identified himself as a 'medic.' He looked at a couple of
patients and said he would go call EMS...then went to look at more folks and
then sttod and watched...and never called. Result? State police finally called
for a squad, and my crew passed a cruiser taking the most critically injured
patient...a woman with a fractured trachea...to the hospital. Needless to say,
I had some difficult phone calls with the woman's husband and the media after
that one.

Generally, we take report from EMT bystanders...if we know them, they help. If
not, they watch.

It does depend where you are.  New Jersey is the only state I'm aware
of that requires off-duty EMTs to stop and render aid no matter what.  In
most states, the first person at the scene of a car accident is required
to stop and render aid; this usually means going and calling 911 for
civilians.  Presumably your friend is trained; that's why he's a member of
those organizations!  In most states, if he is not on duty, he has no
duty to respond.  The definition of "on duty" can be a bit vague, however;
if you have fire tags on your vehicle, department stickers, or are 
driving around wearing a uniform, you could be considered on duty.  

Above and beyond this, you have to decide for yourself whether you have
a moral duty to stop or to assist the person who goes down in front of
you in line at the supermarket.  I'd like to think that most of us would.

When you get into responding to incidents on campus or in other places
where it's not immediatly obvious that an emergency exists, the picture
changes.  You may wish to investigate state laws that forbid interferance
with EMTs in the course of their duties, but that's not really going to
help out on the street.  I haven't had a problem responding to things on
campus; this has been easier since I talked with the security director.

For all those wondering about student life staff:  Usually they're students
who are paid by the college to be resident assistants or whatever your
school calls them.  The job includes dealing with medical problems in your
building by calling whoever seems appropriate.  It's not something you can
join for the purpose of acquiring authority to respond anywhere on
campus.  So far, my school has resisted the idea of any sort of formal 
volunteer student EMS on campus for liability reasons.

  No. (W)EMT's can not pronounce people dead. In accordance with the
wilderness protocols that I was taught, you can stop CPR after 30
minutes if there is NO response during that time. I know that it is
splitting hairs between that and pronouncing some one dead, but...
  Remeber this! You MUST be in a wilderness setting (transport to
definitve care greater than 2 hours), you MUST be certified in using
wilderness protocols and you MUST (most importantly) be in a state
that has accepted these protocols. If you cannot fulfill all of these
above requirements, you must continue CPR.

Specifically, what role (if any) does formal education play in the promotion
process?  I am not talking about technical/clinical education (e.g. EMT-P to
be a captain, NFPA Fire III to be a sergeant) as much as the requirements for
college degrees (Bachelors and above).  I am doing a debate in a class next
week and I need some facts to back me up.

(Isn't this great?  I can use the 'net as a source for all these classes!

Northern Virginia Community College offers an EMT class once per semester,

if you join a volunteer fire station in Fairfax County, you can receive the
training for free at their Training Academy, next to Fair Oaks Mall.

Yes, in fact one usually takes their EMT 2-3 years before becoming a

        Yeah.  I guess that it just helps to make sure that everything's
working all-right.  Kind of when you type 2+2 EXE on your calculator, and
you get 3.22345 E+26.   It's time to start doing things yourself.
Unfortunately, nothing is as foolproof as to tell when it is malfunctioning
all of the time.  Also, I may add that this cuff was most properly working
on all the previous patients (I would hope so!!!)  Anyway, Does anybody
know whether in New York State, EMT's can use them or not, or are they
something that goes in conjunction with ALS.  Plus, so they really legally
take the place of an EMT's manual readings on PCR's?  It would sound funny
telling the lawyer that you guess you had it all hooked up right!!!

 As a paramedic that has responded to Rochester Institute of Technology perhaps
 a hundred times to care for hearing-impaired patients, I speak with some
 experience on this issue.Most of the time an interpreter has been helpful to
 speed up the communication process and to assist in calming a patient. I cared
 for a hearing-impaired asthma  patient three nights ago there and found the
 interpreter to be helpful in these areas.
 I have also cared for hearing-impaired patients that are are trapped in autos
 for extended periods of time and found interpreters very helpful in this
 scenario.  In fact, in my VFD we had an hearing-impaired RIT student as a
 FF who, on several occasions, assisted us in MVAs in the communication process.

 Are they always required ?  No.  Most hearing-impaired patients are able to
 communicate easily with medical personnel by writing notes back and forth.
 I hope this is helpful.

This is from a monthly news letter passed out at work.

More on Toilet Plunger for CPR

We reported in the April 1991 issue that a mans' life was saved when his
son used a household toilet plunger in an emergency CPR technique after
the father experienced a heart attack.  The plunger was placed on the
father's chest and pumped up and down until he regained consciousness.

Researchers investigated the successful technique and now believe it
could save more lives than standard CPR.  The procedure, now being
tested on animals, uses a special suction device similar to the plunger.
The test produced positive results within two minutes of use compared to
one hour of standard CPR.

The device, called ACD (active compression-decompression resuscitation),
may become the preferred technique when human tests are completed.
