Why?

I will tell you this right off the bat, you will not get into saddle back without 911 experience. You will definitely not get in as they mainly only take candidates from fire departments that are sponsored. I frankly think it’s a load of ********. I applied and they only took 1 private (non fd...

Care/falck also is in a very tumultuous time, after years and years of attempts they finally unionized this year, they have been trying since I worked there back in 09/10ish. They also had a 40-50% reduction in call volume when covid hit (informed by a friend who is an ops manager there) I...

I am opting not to get it, I don’t trust it, it was rushed with no long term testing. this may not be a well founded argument but I feel the first batch of people are the test for long term side effects. I don’t trust big pharmaceutical, they’re like politicians they’re going to lie cheat...

got a quick question for someone who actively works 911 side of care ambulance based out of Orange County aka falck now. If you could private message me I would greatly appreciate it

I very much error on the side of caution and unless outside our protocols stroke window activate it. Most strokes I’ve ran into have been very severe except for one which had was a middle aged man that had jarhon aphasia and no other symptoms

I learn something new everyday, it’s frustrating though when something is taught wrong. Fortunately it wasn’t my patient or anything of that nature.

sweet thanks I was assuming they were correct, but always like to double confirm Those were the two articles I ran across first that contradict what I was taught in school, I assumed they were both right.

Possible stupid question, but I’ve got mixed information on this, In medic school they taught us that if the patient is able raise both eye brows symmetrically it’s less likely to be a stroke and more indicative of bells ie: patient has slurred speech facial drop and unable to close one eye...

I’d stay out of private ambo in la co, most especially ift companies you work with garbage equipment and are ran into the ground every shift. if you are stuck in that area try McCormick or care. But expect lack luster pay. Care I think is 16.xxhr

For the love of god do not work for Ambuserve.... that’s a sad sad sad place to work. I was a supervisor there for a year..... As far as I know lifeline is ift only, mainly based out of hospitals I highly recommend mccormick Care if you have more questions drop me a message

Can’t count how many times when I was up there that calstar either was incoming Or taking off from big cottage. It makes sense to base them out of Santa Maria. There’s one near Solvang still right? The county unit?

Santa Barbara is honestly one of the coolest places to work as a private medic for sure! fire is mostly bls and will carry your bags lift your patients and are super humble.

seen several rigs turned into essentially toy haulers for dirtbikes, and with storage and everything else its pretty genius plus plenty of room to sleep in once the bikes are out.

was wondering if anyone has the low down on amr hemet division, i had thought about san diego but im not going to jump through extra sets of hoops to just apply for amr san diego and get their "medic worskhop" and county card pre hire. riverside seems just absolutely nightmareish from what ive...

i used this for renewing my national emt, but also has a medic refresher course as well all online https://www.hazmatstudent.com/classes/ EDIT my apologies but the fine print at the bottom states it is not for those that have failed the cognitive exam more than 3 times.

my favorite app has been pocket prep, i used it through out didactic, clinicals, internship and passed first attempt at 76 questions, it works best using nancy caroline/jb learning books as it references the pages of which the answers can be found on.

It’s only paid if you live there, I tried.... they won’t accept people that commute. But it was a pretty substantial sign on bonus ect

I have one myself more of a for fun gun, I don’t see much practicality to the platform due to its weight. They’re pretty cool with being able to use so many cartridges with the at platforms. But they’re so heavy compared to a synthetic bolt action. Would love a rem 700 in 7mm mag

I failed itls... already had my phtls cert, I failed cause the instructors answer key was wrong.... the whole class had to retest cause some passed because their answers were wrong too. That is the only time I’ve ever heard of failing a trauma life support class. It’s so easy an emt can do it 🤣
