Training Bulletin No.1.

 

 

Service defibrillators and Y2K

An incident has occurred yet again. Honestly. The purpose of this bulletin is to bring it to the attention of staff.

As a consequence of a defibrillator’s date/time clock incorrectly showing 12:01 am, 1901AD, a patient in VF received a shock of eleven hundred candlepower, or twelve and 1/8th British Thermal Units.

This resulted in the death of the patient, as this pathetic flickering glow was not sufficient to penetrate one hundred years of cobwebs.

Whilst it may be possible one day to go back to the future, or vice-versa it is imperative that staff check to ensure that this does not occur.

Revised copies of Training Order 5P OO F /crank-handle and coal-fired defibrillator contraptions are available from Station Officers if you care that much.

Please ensure that the dates shown on your machines are no earlier than your last unpaid “subs” form.
