da_burgh Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 We went to Logandale and my friend dislocated his shoulder not even 5 min. into our ride. So, if that happened out at Dumont, is the closest place for treatment in Baker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if that happened out at Dumont, is the closest place for treatment in Baker? I believe closest medical facility to Dumont is Barstow but if you want decent medical treatment then Vegas is the closest. Closest Trauma Center is UMC in Las Vegas. About 100 miles as the chopper flies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 My understanding is that the fire crew/ambulance out of Baker is staffed by prisoners from the correctional facility in Baker. Closest hospital is Barstow but ambulance comes out of Baker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EY3BA11 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 there might be a quick care or a medical center like that but i doubt there is a emergency room or anything that can handle a major injury from the dunes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpint Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 No Hospitals in Pahrump ?? Last year my sister busted her chin wide open and I ran her into Pahrump to get some stiches around midnight and I found out that they didnt have a hospital open yet "but it will be opening in a month" that was last halloween SO ........... I havent looked into it but I think there is finally a hospital in pahrump. We had to drive to vegas to get stiches, we got back tot the dune at 6 am.

iweb Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hey our hospital is open now, I just hear they lack a few items for ER stuff and will ship you to Vegas for serious stuff anyways. Hey Ca peeps, while here at the hospital, stop at a casino and get place your bets, we need more money for roads, schools, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
