Private email message going to friends.

If anyone is offended, including Wayne, by my email comments to a couple of

friends, I apologize.

Obviously that comment was not intended for the list.

here for reply.

2 car MVC, one was T-boned by another because one car ran stop sign...speed of

other car about 40 mph, but trying to stop in time from hitting other car. Car

one is a Honda or similar type car, car two is a 1980's Buick, so solid metal.

You have a medic that see's this MVC and goes to check the people in both cars.

Driver & passenger in Honda are out of the car walking around, air bags did

deploy and they are fine. The driver of the buick is an older lady, shaken up

but no obvious injuries. Does c/o of some arm and wrist pain to right arm, but

no obvious deformities and she is able to move the arm and wrist.

The small town has a FRO (First Responder Organization) in the local VFD. They

arrive on scene and ask that the medic who lives in this town, heard the crash,

working in another for another EMS provider, not a member of the FRO, to leave

the scene and turn pt care over to them. They are ECA (Emergency Care

Attendents) or first responders. Most have let this certification expire or

according to the TDH website some have been emergency suspended in 2004 & 2005.

So my question to you is, how would you handle this situation? The local PD is

now asking why would they, the FRO not want additional and MORE EXPERIENCED help

at an accident scene.

Thanks,

Wayne

i don't mean to be splitting hairs here, but if most are " expired " or have been

" suspended " , how can they be ECAs????

They are ECA (Emergency Care Attendents) or first responders. Most have let this

certification expire or according to the TDH website some have been emergency

suspended in 2004 & 2005.
