    Air Ambulance Dispatch Criteria

    We do not have a level 1 ER, Burn Center, Heart Hospital, etc. within a decent drive time from us (1 to 1 1/2 hours on a good day.) We can and do fly on either guidelines or experience. As far as "C" goes, the standing orders have a note: "Consider Air Transport" or "Shall Air Transport if...

    Anti-depressants

    I took some when I was younger; I've never seen an app that asked. I've seen them ask if I have a medical issue that would affect my ability to do the job, which is a subjective questions. As far as I’m concerned the answer is no, much to the same, I don’t feel my asthma has any impact on my...

    Did you do any of the online test preps? I personally feel they can make the difference and most don't cost that much.

    Suspended licence

    Wow, looks like I got you fired up:rolleyes: For the record I'm not sure what you thought when I ment when I said t"he app will ask" that got "What part of "that question is illegal" do you not understand?" because I was talking about the suspension and that's not an illegal question. Also...

    Suspended licence

    I would not count on that working. Chances are the app will still ask and he'll have to mention it on the app if it's a question. I also agree that using the ADA is a bad idea. Mainly because what happens if one day for some reason he has to go on an ALS run?

    Suspended licence

    By the way I just noticed your in Peoria, AZ, so you may want to check with River Medical (Lake Havasu area) as AMR owns them. Although this may not work as Southwest is owned by Rural/Metro but has different requirments than Rural/Metro. For what it's worth, Rural/Metro has PT opening in Yuma...

    Suspended licence

    Yeah, AMR is one of only 2 places I can think of that will hire someone and let them drive at 18. The other would Rural/Metro Ambulance. Everywere else has insurance requirments of 20/21. So its worth a shot to see.

    Suspended licence

    A different ambulance service maybe? Ask AMR, they let 18 years old drive when most places say 20/21 so they may be able to hire you with the suspended two years ago.

    Alphanumeric Pagers

    Yes, you'll need a plan. No real programing, just a couple buttons, next/last/delete kind of stuff. This is what's used around my area the most. http://www.americanmessaging.net/paging/pr_uni_alpha_elite.asp I have no clue about the plans but would bet it's based on the number you get...

    Narcotic lock options

    Well, Most places around me just place the box in a locked cabinet inside the fire truck or ambulance. The box is checked each morning/shift. Every medic (and I-99 we have I think 2) has their own key. If your having problems than the KnoxBox MedVault is the way to go. Key pad locking with...

    NREMT Re-cert Question

    He can't go inactive on his first recert unless he has 6 months of work. He will have to let it lapse, and than redo the NREMT (refresher, skills, written).
