Abstract: A system and method assists a dispatcher in responding to callers requesting medical transfers for a patient. A computer implemented medical transfer protocol includes interrogatories for a dispatcher to ask a caller to generate an appropriate medical transfer. The medical transfer protocol selects a medical vehicle with the appropriate equipment, medicinal inventory, and trained medical personnel.

Abstract: A collapsible lighting device has a main body surrounded by a collar whose position is adjustable along the longitudinal axis of the main body. Pivotally connected or hinged legs are attached to the collar and to the main body with struts. When the collar is on one position, the legs deploy outward from the main body to the extent permitted by the struts, thereby allowing the legs to support the collapsible lighting device upright. A lamp head is attached to a member which telescope from the main body. When deployed, the lamp head can be switched on to provide illumination. When the collar is another position, the legs are drawn in toward the main body to form a cylindrical shape. The lam head can be positioned so that when the telescoping member is retracted into the main body, the collar surrounds the exterior of the lamp head, thus protecting the lamp head for transport.
