AEDs are the shit and appear to be everywhere now. THey're damn dummy proof too. Damn thing talks to you and has pretty pictures. Though, even though it yells at you "everybody clear" then puts off funny sirens and all, I'm waiting for the day someone doesn't clear and gets the shit shocked out of them.

You mean the ones who are busy yelling out that they secured the airway or started an IV like they did something special despite a paramedic (or even an EMT-I) already did both of those in the back of a bouncing truck. And they dont' hear everyone yelling "clear".

I'd love to see the chest hair fire!

prety much, we also have a few nurses who think theyre doctors and have tried the same crap. The night time crew of paramedics we deal with are like rockstars which is nice for us, theyre spot on with most stuff except for all the stemi notifications we get, an dmost of the time its not them its telmetry making the call to us and they walk in withthe pt and apologize for them LOL

Nurse Gods are my favorite. I find it funny when they are on a MICU truck and all the shit falls on them. Then everything goes to hell and they don't have a hospital full of techs, specialists, or doctors/surgeons to fix whatever they fuck up or blame.

Back to the CPR.
I'd also like to add that if the person is moaning with eyes half open, you don't need to continue CPR.
