I'd nominate Randy Mantooth. If it wasn't for him, how many of us would've heard

RE: Low top suburbans. Try going over railroad tracks while doing compressions

Unfortunately, the little town in East Texas where I started at didn't

have any ambulance service until they got their first Suburban ambulance

(used). Before that they called the funeral home or the police who threw

them in the back and treated with high-flow petro all the way to the ER.

Same here but it was a part of my ARC AFA Class which was a part of what

the NJ First Aid Council called the " 5-Point Program " .

A year later I took EMT-A and we had to do both for the test as the Hare

was not really a statewide device, when I recerted a few years later we also

had to do the KED and Short Board as it to was a " new " thing.
