    My service makes it 100% the crews choice on l and s response. Up to the person whether not we transport l and s. We tend to not use l and s unless the patient is unstable/critical.

    ems sticker in your car window?

    I have one on my rear windshield. It is only to ,ark my car for when I leave it on the side of the road to ride in on the ambulance. This notifies police that it belongs to someone on the crew, so the cops will not give a parking ticket.

    Cold shoulder at clinicals?

    During my ER clinical I went from helping a doctor reset a tub-fib fracture to sitting and listening to an RN complain about being overworked. He taught me a few things but spent way too much time complaining.
