So cool! I also want one! :)

My ER24 jump suit is so tight... eish! :) Looking forward to starting my new job next month with them. :)

http://vimeo.com/36752370 Enjoy! :)

Thanks all. Seems I might run into some issues, but nothing I can't suffer through. Today I got my uniform and such, my boots are too small, but ag, whatever. I have to work my 30 days notice and then I start hopefully on the 16th March. It's middle of month so we have to see what happens...

So after waiting a fairly long time, I finally got my contract yesterday. Resign time is today. :)

Never ever seen this... not in Cape Town. I doubt we or anyone in Cape Town (EMS) uses this, I can imagine how much these type of devices must be to 'service' or 'look after'

I haven't received my contract yet, but rumors have it I'll be getting it Monday, review it, sign it and hopefully resign.

That scene must have been insane to be at... I wouldn't wish that on anyone! :(

Paramedics (any level) do not get paid very well in ZA. We (most of us anyways) look at it this way - "you do it for the love of it" :unsure:

Best way to do it. It's one of my 'startup' sites (along with Facebook!) :D

Remember to get the Z83 document here: http://www.dpe.gov.za/res/Z83ApplicationForm.doc or http://www.capegateway.gov.za/Text/2004/3/application_for_employment_z83.pdf Follow the instructions carefully!!! you can't e-mail it! You must go hand it in yourself or send it via couriers - my advice...

In South Africa, for AMS, you have to be ILS (EMT-I) and have done their orientation thingy to work on the helicopter or fixed wing. ER24 or Netcare 911, I'm not at all sure of that. I would love to work on the helicopter! :) Never been on one.

Hey, I found it very entertaining... I think that's the point... or at least I hope it is because I was laughing non stop. :rofl: "I work 66 hours a day!" :rofl:

(Mainly for people from Cape Town, South Africa) Hi Everyone!!! This is to inform you that WESTERN CAPE PROVINCIAL AMBULANCE SERVICE is currently recruiting. They have advertised post of: EMERGENCY CARE OFFICER GRADE 1 (BAA/BLS) EMERGENCY CARE OFFICER GRADE 3 (AEA/ILS) PARAMEDIC GRADES...

+1,000,000 I enjoyed it! :)

Hi all, There is a tv show on now (not sure of what channel over seas) but it's called "Party Paramedics" Has anyone seen it? Should be interesting and maybe funny to watch! http://www.channel4.com/programmes/party-paramedics I'm the process of getting the first episode. :rofl:

Welcome to the party! :)

Welcome! :)

No, just give a break down what YOU think the 8 types of injuries would be to classify a patient being given the P1 status... If we had to go on, I could say, more ambulances can be called... but ya... lol! :rofl:

Bus accident (for example) Your paramedic arrived first, maybe 30 seconds before you did, he is now telling YOU (BLS) to go and triage patients that are considered P1's
