For your reading pleasure. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2653041;search_string=Sky%20Diving%20Helmets%20and%20DOT%20;#2653041 Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

With the rule regarding posting condolences in Bonfire, numerous anniversary threads of GFD, pioneer skydivers who have passed being placed in "History & Trivia" The loss of Hutch and other members of our family due to reasons other than skydiving and friends wishing to express condolences, skydivers that are soldiers who've passed during conflict, etc.... Perhaps the consideration of a Forum dedicated to our brothers and sisters of the sky we've lost for any reason could have the condolences placed there, picture uploads, anniversary re-surfacing... you get the idea -a memorial thread.

I forget the name of the movie, but the beginning starts with the Texas A&M Drill team doing a serious exercise for their entire rifle drill. A little tear of pride and patriotism just welled up out of nowhere. That team has more discipline than almost any unit here and abroad.

The same could be said for those with military tattoos. Its not unusual for one to get a tattoo for life experiences. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

*PSA* If you do not have a Microsoft Suite (Word, Excel Powerpoint, Access), then you _may_ wish to consider using the Open Office suite of free MS _like_ applications for no charge (Free open source). http://download.openoffice.org/2.1.0/index.html OO Writer = MS Word OO Calc = MS Excel OO Impress = MS PowerPoint OO Base = MS Access While not as robust as MS Office, it's about MS Office 98ish and fairly easy to navigate, create and imports MS stuff easily. If you do something in OO, just be sure to "Save as..." the MS file extension so others who do have MS can view it.

Rejection by Insurance companies
BIGUN replied to Kritterchef's topic in Skydivers with Disabilities
Your mistake was in not having _any_ kind of health insurance before the incident. One thing "billy" did right was remove the pre-existing condition during insurance company transfers... all one has to do now is provide a certificate of insurance from their previous health insurance company and the pre-existing clause is excluded. If you have enough money to skydive, you have enough money to buy a catastrophic policy from an HMO. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. -
In addition to the recommendation to address the awards committee than the skydiver (you do sound more upset that she has money than her receiving the award) would like to add the following: I watched Natasha go from student at SDD to Dallas Thunder to World Champion in 3 years. Did her money provide a venue to success - sure. But, if you take money out of the equation, she still gave us, ambition, drive, determination, ability, leadership, and honored the tradition of passing it forward by leaving her mark. She taught future skydivers that being a champion in 1300 skydives is possible. If she got out the sport tomorrow, she left behind several team members who will pass on what they learned, thereby passing it forward.... Again, if you have problems with the process, that's one thing to address with Skydiving Magazine. But, to sound accusatory of her having bought it is unfair.

Actually, the thing to do is to list specific examples of his behavior. Ask for a meeting with your boss and him together. While your boss is present, go thru the list of specifics and explain to him that you're not going to allow him to continue to interfere with your professionalism any longer. Explain to him and your boss that each time it occurs you will ask for a meeting. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

All of it could have been avoided if she'd signed the ticket and gone to court instead of arguing. Was he excessive in the arrest? I think so. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

HIPAA has a provision for express and implied consent. There is also a provision of exclusion for emergency medical situations. As an employer, we must maintain the provisions of HIPAA compliance, but if one of our employees falls over and we call an ambulance, we can release their medical info to an emergency response team. I mean it's such a big ugly regulation, you're fucked either way you go if the person wants to get pissy about it. If you release it, they can sue you, if you don't release it and they suffer as a result of it - the litigators will get you either way. Personally (if I were still a DZO), I'd rather be sitting in court saying we released the information not with the intent of violating their confidentiality, but in the interest of saving their life. Let the jury decide. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Technically, so they could relay that information to the paramedics in the event of an incident. If one is a diabetic, that's important for the Doctors to know if you're unconcious, drug contraindications, etc. In my case, if they hit me with any form of a Codeine derivitive, there's going to be a whole lot of doctors running around.

And, if done right, the information could populate the requisite general personal information (name address, phone number, drug allergies, etc.) on the waiver so when one shows up, it's just a matter of initialing and signing. For me, it takes longer to fill out the general info than it does to whip thru the requisite initial & sign my rights away. On a separate note (which may require a separate thread - feel free to delete)... At virtually every incident I've been on the scene at; not once have I seen anyone run into manifest and give the paramedics a copy of the waiver that includes current meds or drug allergies (i.e., I'm seriously allergic to Codeine (which I only found out after the wisdom teeth extraction and subsequent hospital experience)) The flip side of that coin is how many skydivers do not list their meds out of concern for privacy issues - but it is important to do.
