I am not talking about picking the pt up from home I was referring to taking her home. The issue isn't with the pt. at all its with a provider abusing an already broken system. The reason stated is always "pt. need O2". Today as I rolled her out of the hospital she was singing and sating at...

My company will not transport them with out the medical necessity form. I use the hospital face sheet to input the pt. billing info on my PCR. This is a quote from the medicare website: "Abuse occurs when doctors or suppliers do not follow good medical practices that can result in unnecessary...

I have regular pt. we pick up about 300 times a year. This pt. never needs an ambulance but hey education has not worked for them and Its just part of the gig. Th problem is physicians lie about her condition in order to get an ambulance to take her home. I have no issues going to her house...

I looked around a little but and didnt see any post that matched so I made one. I was thinking post books, links, or whatever that have educational information. A book called Cardiology Secrets comes to mind for me. ( I think I am going to dig it out for a reread). Just a thread for up to...

Goodgrief, I work for National and they have hired several straight out of school. Apply man its more about who has openings at any given time. If you interview well you shouldnt have any issues getting on at National. Their hiring process isnt stringent or anything.

I was talking about Rockdale Fire but I think it just closed. Havent heard anything about Rural losing Dekalb. I still know a few people there from my S. Fulton days.

Puckett and Metro Atlanta werent on the list. I think Advanced runs Forsyth County now. Not sure how long you drive is. Also Rockdale County is hiring FF/EMT's.

I work in a college town and we rarely intubate this type of pt. The only ETOH pt. I can remember getting a field intubation from my crew was a regular we who often had blood alcohol in like .400s regularly. (he hold the unofficial ED record at .533 if I remember correctly). Granted we are...

I would love to move to NZ. I have a couple years left in the Military and as I understand it NZ is quite picky about immigration. I hear it is very difficult to move there. Great scenery, amazing ocean, and no SNAKES who wouldnt want to live there?

Thanks again JT I will make sure to put that through their office first.

Fox thanks that was a great breakdown. Exactly the kind of info I'm looking for. I will be taking registry the 17th so its just a waiting game now. I am going to start applying after I pass the test.

You are right USA. I just looked back at the initial vitals. I think a bolus is in order. I didnt realize the patient was that tachy. I remembered increase hr when I posted but forgot it was that high.

Thats correct... Sorry

What were the breath sounds? I would remove as much clothing as I could just a sheet. IV TKO and O2. I cant see a reason to dump fluid into the patient. I think you are on a fine line with this patient of making them unstable esp. if you start putting cold fluid in them. There are alternate...

I will be looking into Austin-Travis Co and Williams County also. I have family in DFW area and also Austin area. Is there anywhere other than medstar in the DFW area? I dont mind fire based or even just ALS recuse. I am very wary of a private company especially in an urban area. Medstar...

How is the service in Austin. I have heard good things. Salary, protocols, schedule, you know the stuff everyone wants to know. I dont think they are currently hiring are they? Thanks

Yeah JT I need to Update my profile soon. I am taking my medic registry in two weeks. I am completely done with the class just waiting on the test and its killing me!

I am looking to move somewhere new. I want the perfect town with the perfect job like we all do. I would like a place with outdoor activities available. (hiking,fishing, climbing, etc.). I want a little nightlife and culture as well. And finally a good system to work for. I am currently...

For those that are interested I have heard Rural Mero will be off their hiring freeze in Jan. As far as Grady I havent heard of people really having a problem getting on. Call and ask them whats up.
