So Bit of specifics here.... i work in a county where private EMS is first in and County fire is Just BLS and assisting us.
Alot of them dont like it. they're all EMT certified but just show up to open doors, maybe take vitals and carry our bags...Despite this, easily 50% think they're better than us an that they run the show. alot of Them like to loudly complain about staff members saying that were "incompetent" or something...
Mind you this hasnt happened to me YET but plenty of my co-workers who definitely are NOT incompetent. None of these guys are paramedics and hate running on medical calls anyways, Who are they to judge us? Takes one to know one. I dont show up to their Fire calls judging them cause im not a fire fighter!
So got me to thinking.....As a new medic.......What makes someone "bad" or incompetent or just like a "watch out for that guy" sorta thing?
Post your words of wisdom for me.
