Lindsey 0 #1 January 26, 2008 Tonight I saw a guy get tazered. He was brought in as a gsw, but he hadn't been shot... Was good and drunk though. I had walked out of the room to grab my stethoscope, and when I got back to the room, the patient was being restrained by the police. Apparently he had made some sexual comment or gesture to the nurse, and the officer became involved at that point. They told him to stop fighting, and as they rolled him over (he was still struggling, but that's about all), one of the officers tazered him. They handcuffed him and took him to jail, with my blessing. WOW! linz-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

PhreeZone 20 #2 January 26, 2008 Did he at least have the decency to say "Don't Taze me bro?" before they tazered him? Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lindsey 0 #8 January 26, 2008 QuoteFor making a comment???!!! Damn, talk about 0 tolerance. They restrained him, I think, for making the comment. He was tazered because they were putting handcuffs on him or something...lol. Seemed pretty arbitrary to me. Unfortunately, it was one of my favorite cops who did it. Changed my opinion of him a bit. BUT, this is a rough little town. More than enough shootings, stabbings, beatings...that sort of thing. When the ambulance is bringing someone in after that type of incident, there's always the *enemies* driving up and down the road in front of the hospital...or parked across the street. There's nothing keeping them out of where we are except the police. I'm ALWAYS glad to have them around. And even though my thoughts about the use of tazers are completely opposed to how they were used in the trauma room last night (with my patient), it's something that I'd never question him about.

Oh yeah...it didn't save the guy like it always does on tv. My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

Well, I guess you *can* shock 'em if you're really needin' to take out your aggression on someone. Why not take it out on someone in asystole?

The charge from the taser is dissipated by the body - cell phones are not and can cause problems with telemetry equipment. That said, it seems like they should be able to build equipment that is NOT affected by cell phones.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

warpedskydiver 0 #18 January 28, 2008 They do Mike. There are quite a few M.D.s and Nurses that use them in ICU. If they did worry about the interference they would not do so. The equipment they now use is protected from RFI. It only makes sense to protect the equipment as there are a great many devices, and sources of RFI as you already know. When I was in the ER with my Mom, all my brothers and sisters were wanting updates on her situation. I stepped outside the room, and used my cellphone. I was warned by a police officer passing through to "Get off that damned phone NOW!" I did not, and he had no authority to tell me to do so. The ER staff were all left wondering WTF his problem was. I guess the cop felt his "AUTHORITAY" extended to the hospital grounds, the ER and the use of communications devices. When he came back through I asked him if he had a degree or a was a P.E. He said I don't need a degree to arrest you for failing to follow a lawful order from a LEO. What a fucktard he was, 50+ yr old patrolman, and a patrolman he will stay. I mentioned this to one of his superiors who is a close friend of mine, he said that guy was about a step away from the rubber gun squad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
