Cranial nerves begin and, for the most part, end in the head, which makes them very useful in detecting brain injury, sometimes long before a patient becomes severely ill. They innervate, and thereby give movement and sensation to, the eyes, ears, nose, mouth and face in the same way peripheral nerves give motion and sensation to our torso, arms, legs, hands and feet. Anatomically, the cranial nerves travel through distinct locations in the brain, and because of this assessing them can sometimes give us early and detailed information about brain injury. www.emsworld.com/11245200
Three times in recent weeks, San Diego firefighter-paramedics loaded sick and dying patients onto fire engines to transport them to the nearest hospital. “They could no longer wait for an ambulance,” San Diego firefighters’ union president Alan Arrollado said of his members. “They needed to save the patient’s life.”

In this dashcam video, Menlo Park Fire Chief Harold Schapelhouman shows how gridlock is impeding emergency response. In audio from another call for a motorcycle crash, which came in at 5:47 p.m. during the evening rush, responders can be heard debating how they are even going to get to the scene. "Heavy, heavy traffic, absolutely going nowhere," says one firefighter (listen at http://tinyurl.com/mpfpdcall).
