    We get our ambulances from a dealer in Arkansas, so it's a mere 10 or 12 (roughly) hour round trip

    Right now I have my backpack set up as a ready ruck, but it's still only set up for short term bug out situations. If money allowed I wouldn't mind getting a chassis cab Chevy 3500 and putting a chassis mount camper module on it (like in the picture but with a 3500 instead of a 1500). But my...

    I'm trying to decide whether to say screw it and stick with tents for camping, or if I wanna build a very simple, very minimalist camper (basically just an enclosed trailer with doors, windows, and beds)

    How good is the job market for EMT's?

    Employment opportunities are plentiful. GOOD employment opportunities are the ones difficult to come by. My plan originally was to go fire, and then I got hired where I'm at now.

    Patient riding in HCFR ambulance dies

    Even when running emergent, I slow roll intersections because either we can give more care to the currently alive patient. We cannot realive trauma dead patients.

    Surprisingly we didn't run any DUI wrecks, but we caught 3 calls and 3 posts. On our last call, dispatch thought it'd be ok to page us additional information without any radio communication of it which resulted in a response delay

    I'm just hoping my Pokes pull through today when they play Kansas State. Admittedly watching Oklahoma State University football contributes to my poor cardiac health, but I'm loyal and true to my alma mater 🤠🤠🤠

    He's just a Western Rat Snake aka Black Rat Snake. Nonvenomous, he'll grow up to be a good mouser. The downside is he'll also enjoy chickens and eggs when he grows up, but we also have hawks and coyotes so it's whatevs. Or she, I didn't learn how to sex snakes in college 🤷

    Well I finally started on my half-butt excuse for a tune up, replaced the stock air filter today with a K&N high flow filter, tomorrow it's an oil change and ACDelco spark plugs. Tonight is four hours of overtime on our new 24 hour truck, it's set up and day truck and night truck shifts which I...

    Hospice patient declared dead but....

    When it's questionable, we spend a good chunk of time making sure if they're dead or alive
