Karmakaze Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 This is just me week for funny superhero links, I guess Super-Hero Provided Patient Transportation during the Metropolis New Years Eve Disaster I don't think I'll look the same way at those rescue scenes again.

Pariah Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Re: Super-Hero Provided Patient Transportation Part of the reason it's a good idea to pony up the points for Paramedic Skill...if your hero DOES have to take someone to the hospital, they won't make the situation worse in transit.

Lord Mhoram Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Re: Super-Hero Provided Patient Transportation Yeah. One of the benefits of TK or someone like Meeb. You can provide full body support to those you carry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OddHat Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Re: Super-Hero Provided Patient Transportation The Power Girl Choke Hold Carry presses the patient's face into her breasts as she moves. For heterosexual male and same-sex oriented female patients, this in and of itself may be considered a form of first aid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gojira Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Re: Super-Hero Provided Patient Transportation Her breasts can also immobilize a patient's head to prevent neck injury. Ow! My neck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Frisbee Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Re: Super-Hero Provided Patient Transportation This was a problem confronted by Sky, my paramedic-turned-superhero, who wound up being a supporting-cast type for one of my high school campaigns. His primary ability was to fly very fast and he typically carried a backpack medical kit (bonus to paramedic skill) that included a web harness he could fasten around a patient and quickly fly him or her to the nearest trauma center (bought as a x2 mass increment on the flight with a focus limitation). He would occasionally run into a patient who was too injured to move, but it was more dramatic to race a victim to the hospital than wait for an ambulance and a crew to neck brace and back board a victim...

Offhand, he's probably got one of the better powersets for that. (I suppose Plastic Man or Mr Fantastic could do something similar...)

braincraft Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Re: Super-Hero Provided Patient Transportation Most armed forces medics have access to portable folding stretchers; perhaps a superhero, who is probably acquainted with gadgeteers of various stripe, could get hooked up with something like a portable spine board, or something even more exotic. An inflatable body stabilizer would be small and light enough to carry, but with super-science has the potential to solve a lot of patient transport problems. In a pinch, you might even be able to justify using it as an entangle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
