came here, with great interest, but the echo also disapointed me a little
bit: I thought, I could get some information about EMS in other countries
from this echo, but because of the low traffic there are not much
information to get from this echo...but I still hope, that is just a
temporary phase, and that there are enough people in this echo, that would
like to get an interessting discussion.
Anyway, I think, it would be sad, if this echo would be closed...

    lack the medical equipment that she says could have saved her
    husband's life when he suffered a heart attack.
    "I want to make United accountable," Jamie Somes, 39, told the
    Chicago Tribune.  "They knew before that there was a problem

assistant: Lurkers Unite?
     Anycase, I'm this totally non-qualified kid.  I do minimal bits of
volunteer work with the St. John Ambulance Brigade in Canada... about
300 hours a year.  I've got slips of paper that say I'm an Emergency
Medical Responder, among other things.  (I'm registered for this
BTLS course soon, though.)  I'm considering Emergency Medicine as a
career (waiting to hear from medical schools...), so mostly I like to
listen to the Pros.
     Here's a question thrown to the floor.  What's the situation with
Defibrillators in the USA?  How common is it for Firefighters to be
using them?  It's very common here, in Ontario, but I've heard that
it's rare in the States.  Elsewhere in the world...?

Down here in Austin Texas it's very common.  Both our County First Responders
and the Austin Fire Dept use semi-automatic defibrillators.  Then when we
pull up we can just unplug their pads and they plug right into our Lifepack
11.  Pretty nice deal.
I'd have to say the semi-auto defibs are pretty common place in the Texas
area all in all.
There even was a State Bill up for putting the SADs "everywhere" and to make
them common place for laypeople.  Like putting them next to all fire
extinguishers.  It got shot down though.
Thanks,

   Plane's new defibrillator saves passenger who had heart attack
   A passenger's life was saved by the use of a cardiac electric
   shock device in what American Airlines believed was a first for
   the use of defibrillators in a domestic plane.
   The device was used to restart Robert Giggey's heart after he
   collapsed following a dash to catch his flight Wednesday. The
   airplane was still at the gate, but officials said that without
   the defibrillator aboard, the 52-year-old man easily could have
   died.
   Flight attendants and off-duty paramedic Don Grohman were credited
   with saving Giggey. The Raleigh, N.C., businessman was in serious
   but stable condition Wednesday night, said his wife, Carmen.
