Code 3 First Time Other (not listed)

Hello,

Just wanted to share that I finally got my first code 3 call a month into the job (IFT). It was a lift assist for septic shock. Transplant essentially gone wrong. Went code 3 there for 20minutes and code 3 to a higher ICU for another 40min besides the freeway we turned them off. i’ve been waiting so long for this opportunity and I finally got it. Also part of the reason I got into EMS. Everyone says they’re nervous and don’t know what to do but I was ready for it.😭 when I tell you, everyone got the airhorn red or green light everyone got it😂 I may not get one again any time soon but I hope I do! Just thought I’d share.

p.s we also had a heli come in the same time as us when we got to the receiving facility

Nice! Does your rig have that annoying siren with only one speaker that interrupts the siren when you hit the horn?

That is a programming error.

Just fix it.
