Here in Indiana we are trying out a device call "The Glove". It's a big glove that slips over the patients hand and arm. It's loaded up with electrodes. When the patient puts it on "correctly". An EMT-B is able to print and transmit a 12-Lead EKG. Pretty neat, when it works.
Where I work, we get time and a half on "company" holidays. We don't get any kind of monetary bonus. Last year we got little EMS "trauma packs", cheap-o things. This year we got to chose between a hat and a stocking cap. You could have both, but I'll be if you didn't have to payroll deduct one...
