I can't find a picture, by Denver PDs highway cars have an arm that lifts their lightbar about 5 feet above the car. Makes it visible from a lot farther away.

There is a Colorado state IV Course Curriculum. Also TIL that IOs are included now.

Red Rocks has an AEMT program, as well. They market it more as a “paramedic prep” course, though.

All I have to offer is that Durabooks are the worst computing device I've ever used. Don't get those.

I use a format nearly identical to this. Once I got used to it, it flows pretty quickly and it's gotten rave reviews from our QA and ER docs.

We have something similar that we use for large events, particularly NFL games.

A lot of this obviously depends on protocol. I'd have to call in the refusal because he has alcohol on board. That said, I think the big thing is to always err on the side of doing a refusal. You're never going to be wrong documenting that someone refused care and having them sign to that effect.

Hi, I work for Denver Health, so if you have any questions I’m happy to help. Personally, I’d look at AMR Boulder before Falck. The Aurora System sucks, especially for medics. I know people that work for Thompson Valley (Loveland), UCHealth/Poudre Valley (Fort Collins), and Platte Valley...

I vote for Haix, too. GSG9s are my everyday boot. I also have a pair of Airpower R8s that I use when I'm working out of a station.

They don't backup Denver Health, I guess they could still do something for South Metro. I should have specified they don't do any primary 911.

Columbine Ambulance does not do 911 anywhere.

Also pricy, but SeaSucker racks are pretty awesome.

Excellent and highly relevant article from one of my colleagues.

We provide external vests with rifle plates for every provider to be worn when needed. I would estimate about 40% or so also wear concealable armor, but that’s at your own discretion. We do have a loan program for people to buy armor up front and repay it through payroll deductions.

Assuming no alcohol/liver issues, it's really patient's preference. Ibuprofen doesn't do anything for me, I prefer Aleve, personally. You shouldn't be giving enough acetaminophen to cause liver issues (again, barring other factors).

We get overtime for anything over 40 hours in one pay week. Evening shift differential ($2.45/hour) if half or more of your shift is after 3 PM, night shift differential ($4.65/hour) if half or more of your shift is after 11 PM. Overtime pays 1.5x base, holiday pay is also 1.5 base and we get 8...

We have Lifeline boxes mounted on Ford E350 chassis. The boxes are nice, no complaints with that. My only issue is that we should really be on a 450 chassis.

Thanks!
