Guest guest Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Howdy Troops! If anybody has a picture of a Build-A-Board, would you please send it to me? If you don't know what it is, then you won't have a picture of it. LOL. For those who are pups, it was (is) an Instrument of the Devil invented by Ferno to be used in extrication from cars. It was the precursor of the KED, I suppose, but a lot more complicated and much less practical. I'll leave it to the other Mossback/Dinos to expound further about it. But I would dearly love to have a pic to show a bud who ain't never seen one and didn't know it existed. (He's from West Texas, so he can't be held responsible for that).

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Check the National EMS Museums web site (I don't have a link sorry). Might have a shot of one there. I just scrapped one about 5 years before I came to Texas. LNM from Baku, Azerbaijan Louis N. Molino, Sr. FF/NREMT-B/FSI/EMSI LNMolino@... - Ferno Build-A-Board Howdy Troops!

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Not quite. It looked like a Scoop Stretcher with several joints that could be locked in various positions to allow you to " build " it around your seated Patient.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I never said it worked and frankly they were more or less done by the time I came to EMS in the areas I worked in. I tossed at least 3 of them in dumpsters in my time. LNM from Baku, Azerbaijan Louis N. Molino, Sr. FF/NREMT-B/FSI/EMSI LNMolino@...

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 It was an instrument of the Devil! If you and your patient didn't get pinched at least three different ways you weren't doing it right. It also tore up the seat of my pickup when I volunteered it as the vehicle to use to demonstrate the damn thing.
