Urban legend at least here in the US, although that may change now that the gangs from Mexico are moving in.

Although there are a couple of bike gangs that have something like this with police officers.

I live in Saint Louis, MO (Most dangerous city in the US according to some haha) and I remember a few years ago there was a string of EMS/FF's shot and killed by gangs. They would set a car or house on fire and then wait for them to respond and start shooting. Supposedly it was an initiation thing.

That's messed up.

I've got it...
A new initiation to get into EMS/Fire/ Law Enforcement....

You have to shoot/kill 3 gangbangers.

Bait 'em in with a box of guns/drugs/money....and open season.

Turn the tables, so to speak.

We have already been doing that here... Dodge the ambulance. They're not too good at dodging. We have a point system set up also :rofl: (obviously kidding because that would be wrong).

So for extrenuating circumstances, I'm not allowed to take my EMT-B exam, and am now banned from the place I took the course at.

Good thing I'm moving states I guess :rofl:


But in all actuality, I deserved to get yelled at, but not this harsh a punishment. I'll just hop on an accelerated class and the NR, getting twice the education o_O.

Had an EMT student today. It went pretty well. He got to do CPR for the first time and got to watch an RSI.

He looked a little shellshocked at the end of the day.

Please keep me in your thoughts. My job is potentially on the chopping block.

The mayor blamed much of the city's fiscal crisis on spending decisions made in 2010 by the previous administration, which hired 18 new firefighters without a permanent source of revenue to fund the positions. Lawrence bridged part of the funding gap by spending down all of the city's reserves.

There's talk of cutting all 24 civilian EMS positions and making up the difference by plugging in firefighters.

City Of Lawrence Faces Budget Crisis, Cuts In Public Safety

There is oh so much I could say about this entire situation and some of the misleading, if not flat out incorrect, statements that have been made, but think it best to just keep my mouth shut at the moment, and ride this out to see what happens.

EMS is a small community.

I wouldn't take getting booted from a course so lightly. It could end up following you for the rest of your career. I especially wouldn't go around posting it up on the internet...

In all seriousness good luck on finding a new course, I hope things work out for you.

Now I'm nitpicking but why does your training say EMT-B if you haven't passed a class?

Can't say, for various reasons. However lets just say that pissing off physicians never ends well, even if you apologize profusely.


Now I really want to know what you did...

+1, There is something more to the story. I don't see how you would be kicked out of a program just because you pissed of a Dr unless the reason he was mad was some blatant disregard for an order or something that endangered a patient.
