Because some people cannot survive the day unless they find someone to pick on. The only way they can feel good about themselves is to know they've at least tried to make others feel bad about themselves.

You nailed it!!! You're right,,,,I'm not actually worried about the possibility of a horrible HEMS operation being put into place that puts the lives of countless people in danger and will no doubt provide shoddy patient care (based on Anthony's business plan). I'm actually just here to pick on him.....
Yea I understand there are people out there like that but here I go thinking that people in EMS are people that enjoy helping others.. Foolish me
Like I said if you have any experience or more informative idea's to where his company wouldn't be so dangerous or shoddy then maybe tell him. He is asking for information and if you have information then share if not why bother posting on his thread besides being a troll.

Well, with only 16 posts under your belt, I can't tell yet for sure, but I hope you're not here just to pick on him.
Also, +1 to what EmtTravis just said.

He has already made it clear that he has the staffing issue figured out. He already got frustrated with the other guy for having to explain it to him twice. So, if there is a guy that is trying to put a HEMS operation in service utilizing the absolute bare minimum in safety and training then I am simply going to LAUGH at him in hopes that he will realize his fallacy and move on with his life....HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAAAAHAAAAA

Great, because laughing at someone you think is stupid is going to smarten them up. We all know how that works.
By the way, I'm laughing at YOU now. Are you smarter yet?

Actually........I think it's working!!!! I DO feel smarter!!! Keep doing it!! Tell everyone else to join in !!!!! This....is......AWESOME!!!
While I do not usually condone this methodology in posting, he does have a point. His insufficiencies of operational, aviation, and safety aspects have been clearly and factually pointed out. Past that, he deserves what he gets for failing to listen. If this posters laughter and direct name calling is what it takes to prevent another uneducated individual who sees the false prophet of money from killing our co-workers, then so be it!
Regardless, it all is irrelevant. He will never get a rotor provider license issued from TDSHS with his current thought process.
And with my previous post being made, your point is also made. No need to further dramatize with others who probably agree with the delivery, just not the delivery method.

The way I am presenting things, is how things are as of now. I am learning as I go, necessary help will be used. Joining this forum, was to assist myself in developing the appropriate steps into providing the ultimate goal of assisting those in need and of coarse why not try to make some money out of it?? I challenge myself to continue moving further learning what needs to be learned and getting things done and follow the set rules. If my crew is not qualified or not the correct one you guys think I am going to scratch my plan? Now that's the funny part.....I can guarantee you, qualified crew will be used, and I will follow all of the steps and little by little step by step this will come to a reality. I am in the point where people, income, and all other fountains of help are provided as of now why not keep going forward? I think you guys have way to much time on your hands, typing thousands of forums in an emtlife.com forum? Wow, why other crazy guys like myself are trying to figure out how to develop something needed to assist those in need? Please continue..........I applaud you guys. Now that is funny.

You say you are coming here looking for help and then you pop off with that comment? I think you just lost what little respect you had here. Personally, I didn't think this thread or you were legit, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt. But not anymore. I think you're a troll.
Yeah, you do not have a choice. You must have an appropriately educated crew specific to the needs air medical patients (as previously mentioned multiple times). To assist you in this endeavor, I took the liberty of forwarding your ideas to some friends on Wall St. in Austin for their opinion. In case your not aware, these are the individuals at TDSHS that would either approve or deny your provider application. Needless to say, I think they will be closely scrutinizing any upcoming applications to ensure complete compliance with State regulations. Your welcome.
Also, you never did specify your geographic underserved location. Care to enlighten us?

I apologize if someone has already said this, but I don't have time right now to read every comment.
CAMTS would be a great place to start. They are the Commission on the Accredation of Medical Transport Systems and they run the show.
Remember, there are minimal standards and some pretty expensive safety issues that must be addressed before accreditation. For instance, If one of the blades ends up damaged, you usually will be required to take the chopper out of service and replace ALL Blades. If I am not mistaken (And I may be), that would cost over $25,000.
Talk to some of the head honcho's at Air Evac Lifeteam, some Flight Nurses and Paramedics, as well as Air Medical Pilots and Base Managers. They can help you a lot.
Also, who will be funding this venture? Do you have a medical center or a funding agency behind you? There are not many people that I can think of right off hand that can come up with millions of dollars in venture capital to start a business of such magnitude, especially not one that will require regular maintenance that can cost tens if not hundreds of thousands.
You would probably get better information if you posted this question on let's say, FlightWeb where they specialize in Aeromedical and Ground Critical Care Transport.

I have been passed the checklist from the tdshs and currently trying to go down the list and respond to every request needed. CAMTS will be followed once we get green light form the state. We are in the process of talking to a county hospital that is going to back us up and I work in a private medical center which is also opening arms. A gentleman provided FlightWeb, I am learning and researching tons of info there.
Thank You for your response!

Our service just recently went from the Bell 412 air frame to the utilization of two choppers, the EC-135 P2+ with single pilot instrumentation flight certification, enhanced ground proximity warning systems, Air traffic advisory systems, Weather Radar, XM Satellite weather, and 3 axis Autopilot which we use as our primary and the BH 407, which is equipped with a state of the art Terrain avoidance system. moving map display, and is fully equipped for night vision.
I used to love the BH412 because I could have a patient on each side of me and the side loading abilities, in my humble opinion were better than the rear-loading rotor-wings like the EC135 because they didn't involve having to enter the danger zone of the chopper (The Rear rotor). It kind of broke my heart to see the 412 retired, she was a great air craft. When we would hook up our headsets, and hear the little siren sound as the rotors started.. well let's just say, I miss her.
Starlife, I forgot to ask you in my last post if you have planned for the training costs associated with certifying your crew in night vision training, and keeping them current with ACLS, PALS, etc.
Also, how are you addressing specialty certifications like FP-C or CFRN? Will you be requiring your Nurse and Paramedic (btw, RN/RN config will not work, an RN who is an EMT on the flight will work, but not just RN/RN) to have FP-C (In the Paramedic's Case) or CFRN/CCRN (In the RN's case) within a certain time of employment? Also, will you be paying for them to get these certifications and to keep them current?
I assume you have some kind of agreement with a surgeon at the receiving medical center that will take on the responsibility of training the air crew in some of the more advanced skills that air medical providers can perform.
Which business model did you model your plan after? Care to share?
