I can try and get you one out of the Danville to interface with you.
00:05
We were trying to figure out which one between two of you that were transporting was specifically requesting one. So one of you had called into Geisinger and had said that you had a combative patient that they needed to inhale us interface with them on top of what they already had. And we were trying to figure out which one it was. So if you need them, let me figure out what six ones doing first to get... then what they need, and I'll start rolling you one, too, if you do need.
00:38
Okay,
00:47
yep, we kind of narrowed it down to that. We have a call too often to try and get them raised. We were trying to raise them at least three times with their success.
00:55
Yeah, I don't know if it's not, but when you look to see, they went from our scenes towards the 7-11 Sunoco or go around so they couldn't get through the other way. So that's the prescription of trial overtaken.
01:12
6-1. 6-1, were you the one requesting an additional ALS from Geisinger?
01:23
Yeah, they were supposed to put myself and what do you got for me? I need to know your location so I know who to send you and which way to have them and go to interface with you.
01:35
Okay, county, who called you? The reason I'm asking, I called the comm center who was working on it for me.
01:40
And also Dr. Coup is out of the Geisinger Medical Center. I don't want to have a wild goose chase with four other units chasing after me.
01:50
That lifelight called us to get that unit started towards you because they can't dispatch any of our units.
01:57
So I need to know where you're at so I know who to get you to interface with you.
02:03
Okay.
02:05
Danville was going to be on their way. They were standing in the ER. However, I am just north of Northumberland right now.
02:10
If I don't see them probably within the next seven minutes, I'm just going into the hospital. There's no reason for me to stop at that point.
02:18
Montour County and confirm them that they do have an ANVIL unit coming down to you. Can you stay on my primary channel so I can converse with you?
02:26
I'm not sure I'm a patient by myself here. Also find out if they dispatch somebody what their ETA is going to be and then I'll make that decision.
02:36
Staying completely.
02:37
Just want to make sure I'm getting you everything you need and I'll get you need yet.
02:42
I really appreciate you. Thanks.
02:50
All for Mickey 6-1, Northumberland County.
02:54
6-1.
02:55
The Danville Mickey's heading south your way.
02:58
They're going to interface with you direct.
03:01
If you can have your lights on, if they're not already, we told them to do the same so you guys can see each other coming.
03:08
Sounds good. I have my driver looking for them and we'll pull to the right and they can pull right behind me. Thanks. All I need is a provider. I do not need anything else.
03:19
Let me know if you get too far north that you don't see them and we'll have them disregard then because I'm sure you're probably moving at a good tick.
