#Emergency Response

[fatphobiabusters]

Hey, sorry if this is a weird question but I'm trying to learn more since I honestly wasn't educated about fatphobia before and I'm trying to fix that (especially now that I won't be a teen in a few months and my mom could be considered fat and I love food so like we all know the body type I'll have in a few years). I often see people say that being fat is bad because people like firefighters and nurses get injured when saving/caring for them and I'd like to know if there's any way to like.. fix that? I obviously don't want very poorly compensated people risking their lives to get injured more than they have to but I also don't think policing people's bodies is right...

Hmmm where to start. The thing is nurses are understaffed, often asked to move patients by themselves when they shouldn't be. It's not just fat people that can injure a nurse, anyone who can't assist on their own lifting can. Lifting say, 180 pounds from the floor is risky, Hospital beds are closer to the average person waist plus there are handles and bars for the patient to assist. Rolling a patient in bed is difficult, again if the patient can't assist. Making sure staff is getting help is crucial. They wouldn't let me move myself from the bed I was on, onto the surgery table but it was quick and took three people to properly nest me and slide me over. (I was going in for gallbladder surgery) there were multiple people who could have assisted in the room if they needed more. So really, fighting under staffing and over working in the medical field is key.

Im not as familiar with fire fighting techniques however I know that there's an issue of businesses not having Evac Chairs or sleds for the physically disabled. I'm thinking of the brand Evac Chairs but ANY such device is useful.

Im looking at the sleds:

This goes up to 440

This one goes up to 500 carrying capacity!

These should be part of fire and rescue training and provided to the rescuers for public safety. Any business that sees a large amount of foot traffic should have these on site. (I don't expect a small mom and pop shop to have one, but Walmart should. Hospitals should.)

So basically: proper training, the right equipment and proper staff. These all play a role in how to circumvent awful situations.

Also take the consideration of what these people say "it's bad to be fat because nurses and fire fighters" these types of people are one bad turn from saying "it's bad to be in a wheelchair because it's too hard for fire rescue" or "it's bad to need nurses to turn you to prevent bed sores" they think, fundamentally, that fat people choose to be fat so we deserve less empathy. And even if it was 100% a choice for every person, it doesn't mean we don't deserve care and common sense accomedations. You can't say you respect bodily autonomy and support disability rights if your support is conditional. Only supporting "the good ones" is a policy in futility.

As an aside: check your smoke detectors and reduce fire hazards. Know your exits and keep low to the floor if there's smoke. Regardless of size people get real relaxed with fire safety because it's rare it's an issue. Some basic things is all you can do so please do them or have someone your trust to do them.

So asinine to me that neighborhood noise ordinances only apply to night time

There are endless reasons a person might need to sleep during the day, on any given day or regularly. Sleep disorders and chronic fatigue are not uncommon and are a byproduct of countless other conditions, also people work nights.

There are endless reasons other than sleep that a person might need a reasonably quiet environment. People work from home. People have different neurotypes. People have sensory and auditory issues. People have migraines and endless other noise-sensitive conditions. People have children and pets with these issues.

People deserve to not hear ridiculous volumes from inside their homes against their will, regardless of their schedule, health conditions, or anything else.

Emergency responders definitely work nights and definitely definitely should be so so well rested please if I need emergency surgery or a house fire put out at 2am in the future I would love if the people I call about that were on top of their game idk

I don’t think a man’s right to vroom-vroom his old car in his yard for hours at a time and blast bass-heavy music from his driveway and light off firecrackers all day is more important that any of that but okay

Hellaverse First/Emergency Responders AU

I'm going through a first responder hyperfixation right now and decided to make an AU where characters from Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel work in emergency response and related fields.

Striker: he'd be a firefighter paramedic who would sorta be like firefighter chronicles

Blitz and Loona: they would be father daughter firefighters and work with Striker

Collin: he would be a paramedic

Chaz: he would be a lifeguard, but still kinda stupid

Stolas and Charlie: they would work in the emergency room

Moxxie, Octavia, and Alastor: they'd work in dispatch. Alastor actually started the first dispatch center in Hell because he was bored. Octavia is interning there.

Millie and Vaggie: they would be in law enforcement

Sir Pentious: he'd make vehicles and new toys for the emergency workers

Fizzarolli and Angel Dust: they'd work with making PSAs

Nifty: you know she cleans up crime scenes

Asmodeus: he's the main funder for emergency services

Husk and Cherry Bomb: they are the normal civilian friends

Challenge #04171-K153: Against All Odds

They were running with several of their friends toward the emergency escape vehicles away from a nasty, previously unknown, hazard on the planet.

Their friend starts to mention on how slim their chances are on escaping unscathed.

"Don't tell me the odds, just keep running, I always beat the odds!" -- Fighting Fit

Inspired desperation is one heck of a drug. When the chips are down, when it's do or die, incredible feats are possible.

So when the swarm burst forth from the forests without any warning, adrenaline was everyone's best friend and only recourse. At least until further analysis in a point of safety could reveal something better than running for their lives.

When it happened to Phlox and Gresh while they were setting up colonial habitats, there was certainly a desperate need. They were a long distance away from the nearest emergency escape pod. There was a moment in which both were trying to understand what was happening while the bug-out siren was sounding and the cloud was emerging from the plantlife.

About Video :

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a life-saving technique used in emergencies when someone's heartbeat or breathing has stopped. It involves chest compressions and rescue breaths to maintain circulation and oxygen flow to vital organs until professional help arrives. Key steps include checking responsiveness, calling emergency services, performing chest compressions at a rate of 100-120 per minute and a depth of 2 inches for adults, and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) if available. Immediate CPR can double or triple survival chances.

Questions Addressed :

What are the key steps in performing CPR on an adult?

How does the technique for CPR differ between adults, children, and infants?

When should you perform hands-only CPR instead of traditional CPR with rescue breaths?

How do you check for responsiveness and breathing before starting CPR?

What is the recommended compression depth and rate for effective chest compressions?

How do you use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) during CPR?

What are the potential risks or complications associated with performing CPR?

Mod squirrel: as a follow up to the post about lifting fat and super fat people in emergencies here this is a YouTube short of a police officer moving a likely 1,000 LBS hay bale.

Knowing the proper way to do things can make anything possible. Training is key! Of course for people you should use more than one person for speed and comfort but the point here being, it's possible. The systems we have in place just aren't working like they should be.

In healthcare environments, the safety and security of both patients and staff are paramount. Healthcare training in Rosemead, California emphasizes the importance of well-trained security personnel who can respond to emergencies effectively and ensure a safe environment. The increasing complexity of healthcare settings demands that security guards possess specialized skills and knowledge tailored to this unique field.
