Code 3 to MCH from Sugar Hill Rd. MVC.mpg part 2

[mmutk]

Being safe and being a grandma driver are two different things, clearly this EMT drove lile a grandma! Sad really definately couldnt handle big city Nashville driving if he drive luke that going 'code 3'

[MrEmskid]

@mmutk I live in TN, and Nashville does not have roads like this. Get off this guy's back. His driving was great considering the conditions. Working in EMS, you should know ambulances are top heavy. Therefore, they are at a high risk for turning over.

@rummeltobi: A ER is an emergency room.

[Rummeltobi]

What's a ER? How can you transport 2 patients in one ambulance? One sitting one lie?

[JeremiahTrane]

Very nice video...Nice job on all the above...Good driving skills =) Thanx for sharing

[eyedawg79]

great driving in awful weather!

[yohan01]

Good job sir! You did great!

[Korbs21]

@nathan12311

I think if it was a life or death situation he would've hauled ass more. But.. as it showed that its not.. why hurry to risk a accident?

[markusgl1]

looking again, its always good to see how different services in another country do things

[PNSB101]

I'm glad there okay now. I was also wondering why it was moving slow but i found out now. Sorry. It is a good idea to drive safely in the sleet and rain with injured people in the back.

from all the comments here no matter how we went to the hospital, fast, slow, code 3, or what ever, it was the wrong way.....at least we were safe about it.....

[tbm33cn]

@s5medic516 It's usually the people that don't know hwo to drive that you usually have to go help. So I wouldn't mind any of the comments, you did your job and got yourself, and the patient to the hospital in one piece.

[Badchoicesmade]

@s5medic516 you did it wrong, you shouldn't of been driving in the first place, especially with water falling from the sky... :P

[Sunburn2007]

@s5medic516 People think going code means you have to go fast, but you're right - you can run code and go slower if the road conditions aren't favorable.

[cdffirefighter]

our diazepam,dilauted all of our pain meds and muscle relaxers were gone they came back as saline water, so he lied to us and tried to cover his tracks thank god we never had to use the spare ambulance he could have killed a patient,the last time i saw him he was handcuffed crying asking for some one to call his dad. and last i heard he was still in county lockup trying to get drug rehab..

[cdffirefighter]

no iam fine,well ok your lying to me i have your results and you have narcotics in your system...way more than any doc would prescribe,at that point i had the asst chief come down we terminated him on the spot and state police took him into custody for dui, when we got back to the station we opend and checked our drug boxes all of them had the proper seals on them except on our reserve ambulance it had the wrong color coded seal we took all the narcotics out and had them tested all our morphine.

[cdffirefighter]

and i asked him have you had any alcohal,nope well what about any drugs or narcotics nope, he did say he took a dayquil before work i said ok are you sure yea iam positive i told him he will be tested for drugs and alcohal, i said you know if there is a problem you need to tell me and we'll work it out nope im fine well 30 mins later the er doc gave me the result he was positive for opiates and benzos and i even said to him this is your last chance tell me if theres a problem i know the answer..

[cdffirefighter]

a close friend who is a state trooper and was on the crash scene and was at the hospital for follow up,he asked if i was on my way that there is a problem well when i get there i met with my medic and the trooper they both stated that he was having trouble walking and speaking almost like a stroke and they both said he was sweaty and in a sluggish state, well i immediatly orderd a blood and urine test i went to talk with him he was sweaty could barley talk and i could barley understand him...

[cdffirefighter]

with balance so for a week i decided id follow his ambulance around when they get a call to see his performance he did ok i did talk to him and he told me he was fatigued and had a cold no biggie i sent him home for a few days he came back with a clean bill of health and about three days later i get a call from my medic he don't seem right like he wasn't all there i was alarmed at this point they were at the er finishing up a mva transport, on my way to the hospital i recieve a phone call from..

[cdffirefighter]

and damn near rolled the ambulance, when we arrived i told get out go sit in the engine and stay there, when we were done with the transport and made it back i contacted our asst chief told him what happend and we terminated her on the spot. Now the second guy he was 18 and volunteer he started out great and about 3 months in i had 2 of our emt's and 1 medic share a concern with me that he was having difficulty driving "staying in his own lane" the next report that he appeard to have trouble...

[cdffirefighter]

That really showed their level of maturity and within 6 months the other two were let go the first one was 19 girl and i was riding and observing her with the medic, on they way to a unknown medical alarm i lost my cool with her she was running code through a residental are blew a stopsign while i was telling her to slow down and stop,she went through a school zone at about 30 and by this time i was yelling told her to slow down and she almost past the court where we were goin & did a hard left.

[cdffirefighter]

consequences of their actions, if you can't get to a call safely you're of no help at all and just make things worse,when i instructed evoc for our fire department there were a few young kids id say 18 19 at the oldest they were absoloutly clueless and failed miserably funny enough when they finaly and barley passed,2 of em quit within 2 weeks when they realized they couldn't run code in their pov til they were 21,and were not allowed to make entries on fires until 90 day probation was over..

[cdffirefighter]

and ride along for a week before you can even get behind the wheel wich is great,

ive seen too many videos on here with younger people responding in their pov or responding in an ambulance,engine or truck, they have no concept of what they are doing all they think about is haul ass my lights and siren are on i have the right away WRONG! there would be no way they could stop if a car pulled out infront of them and animal or person walked out in front youre screwed they don't think of the...

[cdffirefighter]

Excellent driving, you can always tell who the people are that have absoloutly no knowledge of how to run code they are always critacizing us " you drive to slow you need to get there faster, and they are the first ones if we have an accident to bad mouth us " well you should have been going a little slower and more safely" we run our ambulances out of the fire station, and we all have to take an evoc class of 90 hours when we are hired and then maintain 10 hrs a month certification and..

[Lateralus180]

Thanks for the uploads.

For reference, you can now post videos up to 15 minutes instead of 10

[firerescue427]

What department or ambulance service is this and what state?

[mlps93]

Seems like a nasty wreck :|

Glad to see you uploading nice videos again!

Were the patients okay?

[AllrounderNo1]

Lol, the water at 7:00 ^.^

[captivemrhanky]

@nathan12311 Bet you fast driving caused the accident in the first place. Driving slow is being safe.

[subroc12]

WTF! If your going that slow lights and sirens why have them on? Clearly the two patients must not be critical, or your partner would tell you to step it up. Gas is on the right.....

[glassbrain]

@subroc12 Everywhere has their rules for what circumstances require lights & sirens, that being said the patients condition will dictate the amount of "risk" one is willing to take in driving.

[dvanall1]

I agree 100% with you about driving fast in those conditions and it not being safe, but if there were no really serious injuries why even go code 3 to the hospital?

[s5medic516]

@nathan12311 I can see that you would not be a safe driver working for an ambulance service. Did you notice the rain? Also we were treating 2 patients. It is not easy up working patients if the driver is throwing you around in back of the truck. There were no life threatening injuries and high speed driving in the sleet and rain just was not a good thing to do. Dangerous drivers are relieved of their positions here.

[fireman9576]

@s5medic516 i didn't see anything wrong with the driving of this medic . you are never sure of the injuries a person has inside them till they reach the er .

[MASTAFLY]

awesome video man but why is it that pretty much noone stops or pulls over to the right?

[kirkendol]

were those cars in the cement plant just spectators or VFF's

[s5medic516]

@kirkendol both

[s5medic516]

Respond to this video...  both

[BlingBugles]

glad to see more vids! it's been a while.

[Kenster1025]

So your rig has space for two gurneys, or is one patient sitting? Do you know how many cubic feet or dimensions the back of the rig has?

[s5medic516]

@Kenster1025 1 on the bench seat lying down, and one on the stretcher

[kirkendol]

@s5medic516 oh thats smart, my dept should do that instead of useing both rigs
