And if you work at WilCo, you can come say hi to me! Acadian in Bastrop was hiring recently (they run 911 there), though I don't know if that is still open. Lots of event opportunity in the Austin area if that is something you are interested in; AMR is the big name, but a few other smaller...

Love that video. For whatever reason it is also the only real "good" one in that series, but I suppose that's because its the only one I relate to, and the series is focused towards LEOs. LEOs...

This thread is a gem, never seen it before. Good laughs. When transporting from the ED to the floors some of our rooms have doors too narrow to exit with the bed rails up, so I often say, "Alright, I am going to drop the rails for just a second, don't fall out on me. I like my job." I do the...

In the event that it is limited, how is this done? For example, does it state that intubation can only be authorized to be performed by specifically licensed individuals? Thanks for the feedback guys, I appreciate it.

This is what I figured, I just wanted to make sure I had the right idea. I was thrown off by one of my AT (where once again everything is under medical direction) instructors saying certain treatment modalities couldn't be used "unless you had your AT or PT license" and I'm just thinking... what?

This question is simply due to thinking too hard about things, but is a curiosity of mine. I understand that, generally, EMT/Paramedic schools allow you to sit for certification which then allows for testing/application for state licensure which seems to be the "golden ticket" to practicing...
