Is it rare to become a Canadian RCMP, in the ERT? (Emergency Response Team)
It is a Police Force in the RCMP, So I was just wondering if it is rare to get in, and do you have to be really experienced?
Thanks a lot!!! I really appreciate it.

yes, experience is required

My father is in the merchant marines, military sealift command. And we need to contact him asap, it’s a family emergecy. How do we contact the merchant marines to get in reach of a family member in an emergency? Is there a particular number? There ought to be…

Call the Red Cross, They can get a message to him immediately.
(I am surprised he has not told you this– all military families are told this on induction. )

I prefer playing southern rock and hard rock for the most part(DecembeRadio, Day of Fire, Maylene And The Sons of Disaster). It’s just funner, in my opinion.
I also like playing soft, ballad-like music(think Gary Jules’ "Mad World" or Leonard Cohen’s "Hallelujah").

So there are mine.
What is/are your favorite style(s) to play?
If you feel so inclined, please put examples of bands/songs that influence your style.

I play classical best on my piano. For electric guitar, I’d like to play alt. rock but I’m still pretty much a beginner so I don’t play much at all. >.<"

I am writing a story that involves a medical emergency in the cabin of an American Airlines flight and I wish to know the exact procedure the captain and first officer goes through to file a medical emergency, from reporting it to landing. Please be as detailed as possible.
Edit: This is assuming there is no doctor on board and the patient is starting to become insane/out of control.

Well, usually a flight attendant calls us to let us know something is going on. They will ask if there are any medical professionals on board. Then, we have the flight attendant fill out a sheet with all the information on the patient. We then call a service called Medlink, which is a department in a hospital that we have a contract with. They ask us what the problem is, how long the flight will be, and where we will be landing. They then make a determination whether we can continue or have to divert to get the person treatment. If they tell us to continue to the original destination, they then take the liability if something goes wrong. They also call ahead for us to have an ambulance waiting if we determine it’s needed. They also follow up on the patient and make sure they are taken care of.

Sometimes they ask us to divert, and we pick a close airport that has services and land there to get them help. Usually we tell ATC we have a medical emergency on board, and they will give us priority for landing. I’m not sure what you mean by exact procedure, as the landing and getting to the gate will be the same as normal, except we might be in a city we don’t normally fly to.

Hope that helps you.

I’ve had recurring emergency symptoms like chest pain and the inability to breathe for about 2 weeks. I also passed out today. However, I feel ok enough right now, but my friends want me to go to the emergency room. Is it acceptable to go after an emergency has passed since these symptoms keep coming and going anyway?

Go to the ER if your insurance pays for it. If you had a heart attack earlier or a small stroke, then blood tests can be performed as well as an EKG. I’d say just go to the ER now.

Local authorities, as being nearest at hand, followed by the FBI & CDC (Center for Disease Control).

I read an article about the floods in Pakistan and i was wondering how this thing reatles to Social Studies.
One thing i said was that its gonna be part of history in like 100 years

Social studies is basically the study of sociology, in other words, things that happen to large groups of people and things that large groups of people do. This is a big thing that’s happening to a lot of people, so if you study it, you’re definitely studying social studies

Just wondering what would happen to a police officer or ambulance driver or a fire man if they were driving to an emergency with their blues and twos on and hit and killed someone with their vehicle.

They are still obligated to drive with due regard for safety and can be held accountable for their actions if they are negligent.
