    Is anyone familiar with the ‘potato thing’? there are some people that put raw potato on a burn site, they claim that it heals rapidly.

    There is a ‘burn lady’ in monsey that assists people with it.

    Anyone heard about this?

    Burns should be cooled with water to stop the burning process.

    However, you must be careful to dry the burned area to avoid hypothermia. So cool with water, then dry.

    Also, if the skin has been broken, try keeping the area clean, as it can easily become infected.

    Another point, when a child gets Ch”v burnt, check for trauma, trauma is the leading cause of death in burn patients and is often overlooked.

    It is a mixed crowd, mixed between Yeshivish, Litvish and Chasidish.

    It is a very decent quiet neighborhood.

    Cost of living, would depend on how much you plan on spending.. real estate market is good, prices are pretty decent over there.

    I believe that when borrowing something, you are obligated to pay, even when it is not your fault.

    On the other hand, he would have to prove that the leak started on your premises, for all you know there was some tiny leak which started before he borrowed you the car.

    you want info regarding the requirements or about schools?

    you can browse the NYS Gove website, (EMS Section).

    typically the entire program should be around 1200 hours.

    I copy and pasted this from the LaGuardia website:

    The program is approximately 1400 hours in length:

    Chest pain should never be ignored, it is a sign from Hashem that something is wrong.

    especially the fact that the pain/discomfort comes at times that you are in distress.

    you can just walk in to any emergency room, they will probably take you right away. they will make sure that you dont have any cardiac event going on.

    in which state are you?

    typically, you need to be certified EMT, with some experience. you will have to take a course which is around 10 months to a year. then do clinical rotations, which varies from state to state.

    Chaimy, your right. There certainly are times in which Hatzalah should be called, even though its not an emergency. However one should use consideration.

    Also, I always tell people that even if its not an emergency, yet you think it ‘might’ be an emergency, call Hatzalah, even if its 3 am.

    Thats wrong.

    I once had a critical patient, unresponsive, with a dangerously low BP. I interrupted the nurses in middle of their ‘meeting’. They were not at all to happy, to bad, I had a priority patient.

    EMTs and Paramedics are supposed to be advocates for their patients. Not more than once did I notice the nurse do something wrong, I politely made her aware of it.

    lesschumras,

    That is not true!

    the patient can be sent out to the waiting room and wait in line to get triaged.

    Regarding your comment of a rookie EMT telling a nurse how to do her job.

    A) if she is a triage nurse, she really has no job other than listening to the EMT and taking vitals..

    B) People involved in the healthcare industry should have better attitude, everyone was at one point a rookie, she should have kindly pointed out to the rookie his/her mistake.

    that would be the case if the OP is referring to poster that disagree with his/hers post.

    I think it is because people do not realize what they are doing when they are calling Hatzolah.

    Hatzolah is a great organization, they are here for our emergencies or for patients that cannot get to the hospital without an ambulance.

    Calling Hatzolah for non emergencies, such as when the doctor tells someone with abdominal (and no other symptoms) pain to go to the ER and have it checked out. This is clearly not an emergency (otherwise the doctor would call Hatzolah from his office), it makes no sense to take an ambulance with a full crew out service for this non emergency. (patient could have driven to the ER instead of driving home and calling Hatzolah).

    This makes no sense, especially if the patient demands to go to a long distance hospital.

    Again, i am not advising anyone not to call, however keep in mind that hatzolah is an organization run by volunteers and are here for emergencies.

    With Hatzolah, there are people that are at the doctors office, the doctor tells them they should go to the hospital for further testing etc.

    Patient goes home, eats and gets ready, once ready calls hatzolah stating that they have to go to the hospital.

    I really think that this person did not think, that there are people that actually people that dropped everything thinking that there is a medical emergency.

    I have recently noticed someone stuck in their call, the driver told me she is out of gas. She asked if I know Chaveirems phone number, as I was looking it up on my phone, a chaveirim member pulled up, asked what the issue is, then got some gasoline from his van.

    I don’t recall him asking the driver for any money.

    if the right lane has no cars, and the left lane is jammed, are you legally required to sit in the left lane?

    I always do it.

    If I am entering the highway, and there is still a few feet of the exit (or entrance) lane, I will stay on it until I am forced to merge.

    Why in the world must I join all the other cards waiting in traffic.

    Also, if I am in traffic, and there is a entrance lane to my right, I will quickly change onto that lane and change back only when I am forced to do so.

    Why in the world should I wait in traffic when I dont have to, and why am I worse than the person that is now entering the highway.

    I think the issue is that even though you promise to behave only as is the standard of that camp, yet that is all until you decide to behave so.

    Meaning that if you for whatever reason that you are fed up with the more orthodox lifestyle and dress code, you can decide no longer to lead this temporary life style.

    Not that I think you will do so, only that the camp has the right to think so.

    More so, I would be upset if the camp I send my children hire staff that are below the camps standard, and rely on the staff to change for the summer.

    you have to keep in mind that a camp is not just someones personal business venture, parents put a lot of trust in the camp,which includes in hiring staff that are up to the standard in yiddishkeit.

    Rashi explains in a few places that ‘MIN’ means someone that does not believe in Torah Shel Bal Peh, and that is the Talmidei Yeshu.

    That is why always Shoal Min Echod, was someone that was fluent in torah shel bal ksav yet didnt believe in shel bal peh.

    I think that it really depends what he revealed, there might be more secrets he gave away to our enemies.

    However, if all he revealed was that the US is spying on its own citizens, then I think he is a hero.

    I think that each spying instance should require a warrant. the government should not be allowed to do whatever it wants if it is illegal.

    All (as far as I know) Snowden did was to reveal that NSA is doing illegal stuff.

    By now it might be to late to file a police report. also, you might not be able to get the surveillance footage.
