You or him. IDK if any are hiring, but try them. Sunstar too.

Try AMR, AmeriCare, and TransCare in Tampa.

I have no idea about the private battles. From what I was told, they are gonna do it with OT, and closing Engine 6, and running Truck 6 as a Quint. For now. *fingers crossed.

I forgot, AK, OFD is taking over transport next year for Rut Roh.

My bad. http://www.jems.com/article/patient-care/experts-debate-paramedic-intub

I am rather furious about this poorly written article. To blame a few incidents on egotistical, poorly educated paramedics who obviously have poor supervision and weak interaction with their medical director is absurd. Dr Bledsoe has written some very fine pieces of literature, and many...

Most of what AK is saying is true. I work for Hillsborough County Fire as a Paramedic only. This ain't NJ, NY or PA. You can not go down to the local fire hall and join up on a whim. 90% of Central Fla is covered by a professional Fire Dept. If you want to see real patients, then at a...

Based upon the pts clinical condition, and other pertinant findings is what I use to determine if they will walk or ride. Dan, you answered dead on. I already have back issues (at 23!!), and I do not intend on carrying anymore then I hafta. And its been a little slow since I made it down...

How many pts have you carried? Its not a one size fits all decision, but walking, if the pt can do it, will ALWAYS happen if I have a say in it.

Hmmm. How is it getting reciprocity, and getting hired to do the shows? Who actually hires, what is the pay/scope/medical director? This might be something for next year I would LOVE to do....

Gotta work for anyone, or just have your TN cert/license?

Been there a couple times during medic school. Therein lies the problem, they would rather take the sure thing, get paid from an IFT then leave enough trucks available for prehospital calls. Not the way things should be run, but as long as municipalities will continue to let private EMS...

Wheres Rut/Roh?

From what I hear, they submitted the lower bid, but there is still a decision to be made between them and going with OFD.... For the record, I think Rut/Roh and @ssholes, Monkeys, and Rejects are both horrible options. Mixing 911 and IFT, System Status Management, and the low pay will NOT...

You can not/will not beat the toughness, ease, and and battery life of a 15. I love it. Would give up my first born for another one.

Jersey.......:rolleyes:

You say you feel queezy, I am on the line for orders for Zofran (thank you NJ MICU protocol.....<_<)

I had a response, but its not worth fighting this battle. I hope you all have lots of insurance on your property. :rolleyes:

Dude, I'm leaving Jersey for Fla. Do NOT do it. You have a fulltime FF job. Enjoy it.

I have a legal plan that covers me on/off duty. I am a $hit magnet. Bad wrecks on fast highways that leave me alone for quite a while until FD/EMS gets there. The only thing that I have bought was my EMS bunker gear that I use at work, wrote off on my taxes, and have kept me VERY warm and...
