    Very cool ExpatMedic0. EMS research is one of those upcoming areas that might afford some interesting opportunities as it increases in popularity. Good luck!

    Love the job, hate the salary...

    I would actually consider this to be a fair assessment. By no means am I saying that you absolutely cannot live on a paramedic's salary. Rather, I am suggesting the idea that surely not everyone in EMS is OK making the salary they are making at their full-time job. At the same time, a lot of us...

    Haha that is a fair statement. I suppose what I am asking is the idea that can one live off of a paramedic paycheck alone? If so, I would be curious to learn where they work.

    Hey guys. So I am here to pose an age old problem but looking for fresh ideas on how to solve it. Suffice to say that people in EMS are not in it for the money.

The separate screen was a little less intuitive but gave fantastic resolution. The other plus was the size of the screen compared to the CMAC (the flight...

    Globetrotting As a Paramedic

    Hey guys. I want to preface this post by saying, I am aware that there are a number of threads containing information I am asking for. I still post because I want to get opinions on the specific questions I have from people who have "been there and done that." I am a paramedic in the United...
