Took a suicidal drunk to the ER to wait for the crisis team to do an assessment.
Drunk started screaming, cussing, and generally being obnoxious.
Er doc said to a nurse "It's been too long of a night for this shit, bring me an amp of succs."

One shot and a breathing tube later, peace and quiet.

"If you do not straighten your ass out, we are going to have to put you down."

Fort those that don't know, succs is a skeletal muscle paralytic. You get put to sleep with a Benzo, then paralyzed, then intubated, and kept asleep as long as necessary. If you are not put to sleep first, you would be conscious, awake, but unable to move a muscle.

I didn't call you a pussy...go back and read what that remark was directed at.

I've been on plenty of towers; I said "most" of my work was on 90' wood poles. When was the last time you gaffed one of those with no step and no guy wires? Old school body belt and positioning strap isn't going to keep you from falling if you fuck up, just keeps you close to the pole so you get slowed down and full of slivers that would make a porcupine look fluffy. Besides, anything over 50' is a death fall anyway...sure I know people that survived falling farther than that, but most of them got pretty messed up.

I knew Linemen that said the same thing, just makes it easier to find the body when you hit.
The most dangerous poles he said, were the old AT&T poles that were old and chewed up. Tough to get a good stab with your boot.

Just didn’t feel like it mattered seen people dead with them seen people dead without. Lots of people still alive who lived without seatbelts.

I don’t think you should be forced to wear one.

I spent most of my working life dealing with the aftermath of vehicle accidents. The vast majority of fatalities where people were not wearing seatbelts were completely avoidable, especially women and children. Getting killed because a person wasn't wearing a seatbelt is not the worst thing that can happen. Every kind of grotesque injury imaginable happens on a fairly regular basis because someone was not wearing a seatbelt, or not wearing it correctly.

That being said I will agree I do not like being told I have to do anything, like wear a seat belt or helmet, by the government. However, I do think if someone choses to not wear a seat belt or helmet, choses to smoke, choses to drink and drive, or engage in any inherently dangerous or irresponsible activity they should not be able then have the tax payers pay for their medical bills. If they have their own insurance and that company wants to pay that's fine, however they should not be able to have the tax payers pick up the tab, or even declare bankruptcy to avoid paying, because of their own decision.

My apologies to the MPT Gods and Overlords.

It's a fetish...don't judge me.

It's a fetish if it turns you on, it's a kink if you actually do it.

I believe this is Britney Spears. I've seen it before, many many times. And Tin Eye has it on 375 sites, most of them documenting that it is Britney.

Still nice, nonetheless. And I don't think it violates the Celebrity Nudes" rule, so....

When I worked for Flash Technology the majority of our work was between midnight and 5AM. The majority of the work was 300’ and up. We were climbing 1000’ to 1500’ towered nightly. My last climb was a 1000’ +\- self support in Cincinnati in 2005. I was replacing the beacon on top of a double stacked broadcast antenna.

Excuse my ignorance but why between midnight and 5am?

It was on the cover of Esquire Magazine in 2003. Before the train wreck.

Mostly TV and Radio broadcast towers. Working around a hot antenna of that size is not good for you. So the station had to stop broadcasting for any length of time you were within 300' of the antenna.

Can only work when the transmitters are turned off.

She didn't send pictures but she described it something like that. I think she said something about the girl being lucky that morphine was invented.

I give you guys that work trauma/er/EMT and the rest credit. It's amazing what the human body can take and y'all deal with it.

In this case, I suppose we can over look the poor zip tie discipline of the tail being left on...but only this time.

 

[eflyguy]

When I was younger and grumpy, I would carry sidewalk chalk, and draw lines around shithead parked vehicles and write "special parking just for you" in front of them.

Never did the zip-tie thing, although I did consider trying it with some steel ties I have for exhaust wrap.
