Thank you guys for all the information. As I have had a couple of shifts I can see that NJ is the "mother may I" state and Pa is very different. I am working in the Northeastern part of PA and I enjoy riding a lot.
I have learned that when in doubt call med command, otherwise follow your...
What is the difference between a NJ medic and a PA medic. I know NJ works with two medics and PA only one medic with an EMT. Are standing orders the same? Personally if you have a cardiac arrest and you have to do it all isn't that putting the patient at risk cause your only one person? Any...
