Stanstead QC | December 13- Big Update to Announce:<\/p>\n

The quest to build The Playlist for The Big One now includes an opportunity for artists to submit their tunes to Big Med on Sonicbids.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.sonicbids.com\/BigMedicine2<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>For those of you who don’t know, Sonicbids helps bands get gigs and promoters book the right bands. The list of folks who are booking great music on Sonicbids is pretty damned impressive – SWSX 2012, Canadian Music Fest, bonnaroo, MTV – and, of course, Big Medicine.<\/p>\n

We’re going to feature two or three new artists every week as we build out the Playlist for The Big One. I’m hoping the next Big Med Porch Party will include a few special guest appearances.<\/p>\n

You can visit the Big Med Music <\/a>section to listen to\/watch new artists already added to The Playlist for The Big One.\u00a0 If you’re a musician or know a musician whose work should be considered for The Playlist for The Big One, get hooked-up with Sonicbids and submit your EPK for consideration.<\/p>\n

Music often serves as an escape hatch from the high-end stress that is a constant companion for life on the job. Music provides a soundtrack for our memorable calls. Here’s Norm Rooker on working a code in 1986…<\/p>\n

“Like running hot to a cardiac arrest call to Jefferson Starship\u2019s \u201cWe Built this City\u201d.<\/p>\n

It was early 1986 in east San Jose. Cindy Petretto and I were running hot through mid afternoon traffic for a cardiac call, CPR in progress. And what job isn\u2019t made better with a good sound track in the back ground?<\/p>\n

We had a classic rock station cranked up, radio KOME (yes, that is a real call sign and they\u2019re still on the air) and while they played a number of rock classics as Cindy threaded us through the just out of school afternoon traffic, the song that was playing as we pulled up on scene was that Starship classic.<\/p>\n

Like so many of our cardiac arrests, first responders were already on scene and CPR was in progress. The patient was in a coarse v-fib so we did what we always do, gave her a 200 watt second ride on the lightning and, surprise of surprises, shocked her right into asystole.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately a not all that an uncommon but unintended outcome for this V-fib treatment. So now our patient is flat lined and we were attempting to stimulate her heart back up with various chemicals so we could shock it again. Hopefully with a different outcome.<\/p>\n

I was on my A game that day and not only got the tube on the first shot but also turned around and sunk an EJ, as the patient had nothing for veins peripherally and Cindy wasn\u2019t having any luck in either arm.<\/p>\n

We worked that code to the point of calling it and Cindy was on the telephone with a Base Station Attending getting permission to do so when the patient\u2019s heart said \u201cenough already\u201d and decided to rejoin us. I have never seen this before or since but our patient\u2019s heart spontaneously converted from Aysytole to a perfusing sinus tach. (4 rounds of Epi 1:10,000 and 3 mg of Atropine tends to make the heart beat a little faster, when it chooses to respond.)<\/p>\n

\u201cWait a minute doc! Forget the pronouncement, I need a Dopamine order!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat????\u201d<\/p>\n

Cindy and I brought our patient into Valley Medical Center, The Big Valley, where she was admitted to ICU but did not survive her event and passed away for good two days later. We received a nice thank you note from the family not only thanking us for our efforts, but also for giving their family a chance to get together and say their good byes to their mother, grandmother, sister, beloved wife, etc..<\/p>\n

It was signed by what we guessed was the entire family. While Cindy and I had succeeded in telling the Grim Reaper \u201cNot Today!\u201d for our patient, and had a fantastic, make that great field save, we were humbly reminded both that it is not a true save unless the patient is able to resume their normal life and that we had not anticipated how many lives our efforts were actually making an impact on.”<\/p>\n

I’m still building The Playlist for The Big One.<\/p>\n

The Playlist got its start when I invited readers to submit their suggestions for the ultimate soundtrack to listen to while responding to The Big One.<\/p>\n

We received a lot of references to mainstream classic artists and tunes however we also were ref’d to some outstanding emerging artists and little known musical gems.<\/p>\n

The blog piece continues to morph and has evolved into a complete music section on Big Med.<\/p>\n

Now, I’m asking for more of your suggestions and this time around I’d like you to attach specific meaning\/context\/memories to each piece you submit.<\/em><\/p>\n

Think of this as the soundtrack for a TV series never made.<\/p>\n

The original Playlist for The Big One:<\/p>\n
