The awesome crew of the Ochsner life flight helicopter doing a pick-up in my childhood neighborhood around midnight.
Here is shown vividly how to make 1.Hilfe in an accident. To see how one takes off the helmet of an injured . Talk to him to keep him conscious ... one holds his head .... the other carefully removes the helmet from his head ....
A wonderful 1970/71 McDonnell Douglas Corp. artist’s concept of their ‘Phase B’ shuttle concept, either delivering and/or deploying some sort of first aid/emergency-medical module to the stricken craft in the lower right. Also note the transparent ‘observation dome’ of the damaged ship, with what appears to be “Space Ghost” looking out at the operation. I see no Remote Manipulator System (RMS), so I’m assuming the rescue module either has its own propulsion/attitude maneuvering system, or that it’s been erected/rotated into position, but remains attached to the orbiter, which will maneuver to dock it with the damaged vehicle.
And, thanks to the SECRET PROJECTS Forum website, the orbiter can be more specifically identified as “Configuration 176 C”…I think. Specifically thanks to user flateric’s June 4, 2007 post, as extracted from AIAA paper 78-1469, “Space Shuttle Orbiter Configuration Case History”, presented at the AIAA AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE, Los Angeles, California, August 21-23, 1978.

Although I love the work, to me, this particular design has a caricaturish appearance, like something a satirical cartoonist would’ve depicted to poke fun at the shuttle program. Finally, the artist is R. Noel. Huh…who? First heard…with nothing on him/her.
Finally, in a similar operation, featuring the Phase A, McDonnell Douglas drawbridge-wing orbiter, in which the shuttle itself is marked as the “ambulance”, although still with a first-aid marked module in the payload bay. However, a risky, possibly ‘casualty conducive’ EVA is being conducted:

Finally & fortunately, the image, along with several others, is featured on the cover of “SPACEFLIGHT”, Volume 13, No. 12, December 1971, published by the British Interplanetary Society. The description of it is as follows:
“…depicts the shuttle orbiter marked with rescue insignia deploying a rescue canister from its 60 ft. long cargo bay. The canister would be docked with the nearby space tug which is assumed to have been crippled in Earth orbit. The space tug crew transfer to the shuttle orbiter through the rescue canister for return to Earth.”
On the whole, I hate people. Another one of the countless reasons why: This enterprising f**kstick has been going apeshit with a bunch of photos I’ve posted and/or linked to in my postings. In his shallow greedy mind, attribution or common courtesy is not a consideration:

Mayday is an emergency code word used internationally as a distress signal in voice procedure radio communications. It derives from the French venez m'aider, meaning 'come help me'.
I'm fine, I just put this together for the Monthly Scavenger Hunt for May code word Mayday or May Day.
Thank you to Dubtastic for use of his texture.

Au moment où l'avion faisait un virage à droite et s'inclinait beaucoup avec le bout de l'aile droite pointé vers le sol, certains passagers aux fenêtres, très anxieux, ont interprété que l'avion était incontrôlable et allait tomber, ce qui n'était qu'une illusion.
La voix de l'hôtesse de l'air m'a appelé pour aider pendant le vol : " Attention, y a-t-il un médecin à bord ? Veuillez vous présenter. "
Au bout de l'allée de l'avion, j'ai pu voir l'hôtesse de l'air à côté d'une dame visiblement pâle et en détresse.
La trousse de premiers soins n'était pas vraiment nécessaire, c'était un épisode de trouble panique aigu et intense et le médicament anxiolytique sublingual était dans le sac de la dame, je lui ai juste rappelé et l'aidais à prendre le médicament qu'elle avait apporté avec elle et en raison d'une anxiété sévère, il ne s'en souvenait pas.
C'était des soins médicaux, juste une thérapie rassurante.
Peu de temps après, elle a beaucoup pleuré et s'est rétablie.
Non, ce n'était pas une crise cardiaque comme elle et l'hôtesse de l'air à côté d'elle le pensaient.
Quel était l'outil de diagnostic que j'ai utilisé pour l'aider ?
J'ai utilisé une anamnèse bonne et minutieuse.
J'ai dit :
" Prenez-vous des médicaments ?
Avez-vous besoin de les emporter avec vous en cas d'urgence ?
Quel est le nom du médicament ? "
Et elle a dit : « Rivotril ! »

At the moment the plane made a turn to the right and tilted significantly with the tip of the right wing pointing towards the ground, some passengers at the windows, very anxious, interpreted that the plane was out of control and would crash, which was just an illusion.
The voice of the flight attendant called me to assist during the flight: "Attention, is there a doctor on board ? Please introduce yourself."
At the end of the aisle of the plane, I could see the flight attendant next to a visibly pale and distressed lady.
The first aid kit was not really necessary, it was an episode of acute and intense panic disorder and the sublingual anxiolytic medication was in the lady's bag, I just reminded her and helped her take the medication that she had brought with her and due to severe anxiety but she didn't remember it.
It was medical care, just reassuring therapy.
Shortly after, she cried a lot and recovered.
No, it was not a heart attack as she and the flight attendant next to her thought.
What was the diagnostic tool that I used to help her ?
I used a good and careful history.
I said,
"Are you taking any medication ?
Do you need to carry it with you in case of emergency ?
What is the name of the medication ?"
And she said, "Rivotril !"

All level and variety of sport suffers the same dilema. The sport needs officials to call and score games, and the parents of players feel not any measure of remorse to tear those officials down.

Depending on the sources, the number of people wounded in the Winter War was about 4,000 in January 1940, more than 11,000 in February, and well over 5,000 in March.
More than half of the injuries were to the hands and feet.

Helping the elderly / Donate blood / Blood for you, for us, for you
Emerson and Son Funeral Home, 1629 East Nettleton Avenue, Jonesboro, Arkansas operated a busy ambulance service. This picture was taken in early 1970 in front of the old funeral home at 1629 East Nettleton Road. The ambulance is a 1968 Chevrolet Suburban truck converted into a low-roof emergency vehicle by Billy Joe Emerson (1929-2011) himself. It operated as Unit 8. I really liked making calls in this ambulance!
The white ambulance is shown in front of the funeral home with Jim Moshinskie, right, and Larry Russel, left, waiting for their next call. The vehicle included a loud(!) Federal Q2 siren, four flashing red lights on the front, and a clear rotating beaconray with red and white beams. People could see -- and hear -- us coming! In 2012, Larry lives in Sprngfield and remains active in funeral service. He received the prestigious MSIA Award (Matt Smith International Academy) as a Distinguished Person Among Advanced Embalmers and Restoratives.
In 2007, the Emerson Funeral Home, one of the very few funeral home still associated with an ambulance service, celebrated its 75th anniversary in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The firm was started by W.T. (Tom) Emerson and his brother-in-law, Homer Burns, in 1932. The original location was on South Church Street in downtown Jonesboro. In March 1951, Emerson & Son Funeral Home moved to the above location at 1629 East Nettleton Road, Jonesboro. W.T. Emerson died in 1977. Billy Joe Emerson's son, Toby, joined the firm officially in 1979 after graduating from the Dallas Institute of Mortuary Science. For many years prior to that, he rode out on many ambulance calls with his dad and this author, Dr. Jim Moshinskie, and was excellent help. The ambulance service became a separate business officially in 1973 as Emerson Ambulance Service and is the oldest operating ambulance service in Arkansas. Today it has eight ambulances, two wheelchair vans, and 45 employees. Rick Carter, who has been with the firm 25 years, serves as the funeral home manager. The new 500-seat chapel opened in 1996.
The Q2 Roar!
In the days before OSHA decided that Federal Q2 sirens on the roof were a health hazard to our ears, we actually rolled down the windows on the ambulance so we could hear the power of the coasting Q2 as it shooed vehicles off the road ahead. Unfortunately, many ambulance drivers of those days are now deaf in their left ear thanks to the Q2 roar!
My only complaint about the Q2 was that it froze up quickly in freezing rain, thankfully this was a rare event in northeast Arkansas. I remember one day making an accident call during a sleet storm with Toby and Steve Emerson, BJ's sons who were young kids back then. We kept a pot of boiling water on the stove ready for calls to keep unfreezing the Q2, so half way to the scene I stopped the ambulance and young Steve Emerson (now a Jonesboro physician) jumped out and poured hot water over the siren so we could keep blowing it until we reached the scene!
Another reason why we often rolled down the windows was that the emergency lights and siren consumed so much power, we opted not to turn on the air conditioner so as to save the battery - It would be embarrasing to have a dead battery at the accident site.
Way Different Than Today's EMS, But Still Effective
This was three years before the days of EMTs and paramedics -- but under Billy Joe Emerson's training and guidance, we ran a very fine emergency ambulance service that really cared about our patients and their care. When the first EMT Class was taught in Jonesboro in 1972, the entire Emerson staff attended and passed with flying colors!
The goal was to get rolling fast on a call, especially to beat our competitor funeral homes to the scene. I was very proud of the years I spent at Emerson & Son Funeral Home. Back then we had a small staff and Billy Joe and Betty Emerson treated us like family. They were great people.
A Young Toby Emerson Rode With Us
Sometimes a very young Toby Emerson rode with us on emergency calls. Now he runs Emerson Ambulance Service which still proudly serves Craighead County. Bill Brown, a RN - Paramedic, also started his long ambulance career in Jonesboro during this time.
Launched My Career in EMS and Funeral Service
Working at Emerson's launched my funeral home and ambulance career. I started in October 1969 and I left there in mid-1972 to join the staff of very busy Griffin-Leggett Funeral Home in Little Rock where I worked 8 years. I then taught at the Dallas Institute of Mortuary Science for four years before moving to Waco, Texas. Toby Emerson was in the first class I taught at Dallas Institute. In Waco, I was Executive Director of Daniel EMS for 8 years and I established the first paramedic-level ambulance service there. During this time, I finished a PhD at Texas A&M University in Health Education. I then taught paramedics and EMTs throughout central Texas through the Texas A&M College of Medicine. In 1996, I joined the faculty of Baylor University's Hankamer School of Business and also became President / CEO of the Higginbotham Funeral Homes. I retired from Baylor in 2006 and I stay mainly with our OakCrest Funeral Home in Waco.
Billy Joe Emerson, beloved funeral director, died Tuesday, March 9, 2011 at St. Bernard's Hospital in Jonesboro at the age of 81.

Photo of a Jeep Ambulance with serial number 52-31002 taken at Camp Petawawa during the fall of 1955.
As the wartime Willy's and later M38 were intended, the M38A1 was also a general utility truck, capable of employment in many roles and used by many different branches, including military police, signals, reconnaissance and medical applications (a longer vehicle known as the M170 was a purpose built ambulance capable of carrying a driver and three stretchers, or six seated passengers and was produced between 1954 and 1962) in addition to carrying personnel and cargo. The M38A1 was capable of operating completely submerged.
Ford of Canada assembled 2,135 of the M38 model, officially designated M38-CDN, between Feb and Nov 1952, with an average cost of $2600 per vehicle (the cost was $2807 for the first contract of 840 vehicles). All the Jeeps were shipped from Windsor to Hagersville, ON for inspection prior to military service.
It is unclear when "Jeep" entered the Canadian lexicon, but the vehicles themselves were popular, and a standard mount for officers down to sub-unit commanders. After the Second World War, many jeeps were disposed of. When the Korean War started, surplus jeeps of Second World War vintage were obtained from the United States for use in-theatre.
Operational Role: Primary role is personnel carrier but could be fitted with stretchers for use as ambulance. Could also tow light anti-aircraft or anti-tank weapons as well as transport light cargo.
