It is a felony to interfere with an EMT while performing duties and/or involved in direct patient care; there are no exceptions to person. Failure of the Chief to go forward with charges against the Trooper is an affront to all EMT's. In addition, it is standard practice for FD's to block off adjacent lanes to an incident for the safety of the rescuers. Anyone who feels otherwise needs to visit with me for a minute; it won't take long, I promise. Oh, BTW, I'm a Paramedic.

i like this but too small. wish there was a better resolution available.

Everyone is making a big deal out of the manager, tipping in general, etc. How about the police who actually placed a citizen under arrest? Police can only arrest for a criminal offense. Was a crime committed here? Can it be shown as a point of law? This is America, the land of the free....[SORRY- -DOES NOT COMPUTE]...thread terminated.....

Try this: Bring up Google, type in "patten horseshoe", then hit enter. Within the first 3 results, and just below 'What Is It - Neatorama', you will find a link "Horseshoe Museum". www.horseshoemuseum.com/Therapeutic/Patten.htm
Click on it and you will find pictures of an actual patten horseshoe. Now, all you good people, tell me again that the object is a patten horseshoe. The object in question is a homemade hat rack, made to hang one hat. Good golly people, get a grip on reality.

Now, how do I know this? Because I had one just like it. My uncle made it for me in 1966.

BTW, even the description of the purpose is incorrect. The purpose is to make the injured leg 'NON WEIGHT BEARING'. Doh.

This is a homemade single hat rack.

Screw jack; and that's my final answer.
