I won’t say just yet. I’m not particularly litigious normally, but it’s not off the table. If you asked Tigger, he’d be able to tell you; but it’s better if it doesn't come from me. I’m not. I was saying that, even in this day age of people putting *everything* on social media, I may have had...

That’s the public image, which they work very hard to fake and defend to the death; but it’s an illusion. That, more than any other reason, was why I had to go. I wouldn’t pretend anymore and I wouldn’t be quiet anymore. I wasn’t on facebook, the news, or standing on the sidewalk waving a flag...

Today, I was fired for having the audacity to suggest that my employer wasn’t living up to their responsibilities to their employees during this little thing floating around out there. I should be worried about how I’m going to pay my rent next month. I should be worried about how I’m going to...

To my knowledge, there will be no clean way to do so. If you spend hours on the phone, weeks combing through the curriculum to verify and prove that you met or exceeded the AEMT curriculum, then get the proper people at the registry to agree with you, then wait for them to engineer an exception...

Massachusetts is pretty quick since the transition to NR, but now there's nobody in the office these days so I doubt it will be quick.

I love lamp.

Good for you. I hope your state agrees with your morals, because my state decides what is ALS and if you disagree, either the state or your medical director will pull your card. Grandma who hasn’t pooped in three days has “the potential to become hemodynamically unstable” and therefore the...

Yeah, I can read a username and make an inference or two. I hope I’m not the one to break this too you, but you may throw a rocker on your patch and see a few more bucks, but the nonsense is transitive. At the ALS level, we just put an iv in them, bill it ALS, and go back to the house to wait...

That may be true, but it is still irrelevant. Years ago, I worked for a private in Boston. Like every other sparky basic at a Boston private, I thought doing Boston EMS’ grunt work made me a hero. Then I finally realized that we never got the “good” calls from BEMS, we got the drunks, the...

I haven't yet heard anything, even one single thing that makes Ambulnz appealing to me. "Strike Force 19" didn't help them any in my book. Pass.

Acute Myocardial Infarction. Or they mean AMR....

Full time doesn't mean indentured servitude. You can still leave in the fall. It has happened before... ED tech, clinic tech, water/amusement park, private sporting complexes, assisted livings are your basic non transport EMT jobs. Some are actually high volume. Of course, Summer '20 isn't...

Way easier. Ma is a bit rough on non NR reciprocity, but an NR card is a universal key.

I can see no argument that would sway me towards california. None at all. Even if the wage was double, heck triple, it wouldn't outweigh the politics, gun laws, or the very basic fact that california is well on it's way to having no middle class to speak of. I'm sure there are enclaves of sane...

My company started deploying them in all new ambulance, and told us they were retrofitting all ambulances in the fleet during PM. When that proved to be a lie, they walked it back to all ambulances under xxx miles. When that proved to be a lie, they claimed there were supply chain problems...

Mercy me. 20 years on, although it doesn't strictly speaking say 20 years with FDNY, but even still. Does the city pension and benefits really outweigh the fact that my private will pay a day one, never worked a road shift paramedic 6 thousand dollars more base + built in OT for two 24's in an...

Probably the same way as with the MSP supervisors. They were in on the scam.

Yes, it is, unless you're trying to dissemble your true reason for a dramatically timed and poorly executed hard transition to an empirically inferior scheduling system. Then you'll spread a rumor through your organization that the firm went bust overnight and that's why we have to roll out a...

It would appear we have reached an impasse, as you and others want to make excuses for hacky practice for the sake of profitably and I will not. Yes, I see things as black and white most of the time, because most shades of grey distill down to BS. I simply am not willing to risk my personal...

No. Just no. You are incorrect, and this is the problem we need to fix. You always have a choice. You may not like one or more of the options, and thus feel as if you don’t have a choice, but you always have a choice and when the piper sticks his hand out, he doesn’t give a hoot whether you...
