No problem, Yes it can be, but it is at the discretion of the crew as to whether or not they are going to Tx for pain management. Because ALS is treated as a limited resource, there are other considerations that have to be taken into account before making this decision. We unfortunately do...

That is from Seattle Medic One. If you don't understand the difference, there are plenty of other posts explaining this.. No it is not. It is out of context. I work here, I take time out of my personal life to try clarify what it means to be a part of this organization from the eyes of...

Wow, you couldn't be more incorrect on this.. I have zero issues with people who are critical of my system. As I have and will continue to say, we are not perfect. But what is truly LAME is your incessant need to make negative statements with little to no bases. If you have a question, or...

No, They are only going to be allowed to do IFT

I can say that I know for a fact that Falck is operating in the KC area and that they are implementing Paramedics for use in their IFTs.

Based on what??

To be quite frank I do not remember the names of the guys that were on the crew, they seemed jam up though, we had quite a few sick calls with them that day. I do wanna say I recall one of them having been to medic school.. that sounds familiar, but I could be making that up in my head..:rolleyes:

I could be incorrect on this but I believe the primary reason for the BLS units with LPs is for the voice recording feature that we utilize for review of cardiac arrests

To Skyways credit, I do have to say that a few months ago they correctly identified a 3rd degree HB on a otherwise asymptomatic Pt and requested us for eval. The initial complaint was weakness x3 days. But to your point I totally agree that often less is more. Also agree that ETCO2 in BLS is...

Yes

@VentMonkey First and foremost Thanks. I am most definitely not here to brag, we have out shortcomings and there are plenty of other amazing programs out there! But if you think that ours could be right for you, I would be happy to help answer questions and clarify things for you! Regarding...

NAILED IT! I will just add that over the past few years we have hired 5 prior medics and 4EMTs, so bottom line is best candidate gets hired

Yes we are all different, no you could not simple lateral, although once you have completed training succesfully you would not need to complete it again should you apply and get hired somewhere else in the county. What we all have in common is that we graduate from Dr. Copass's "Medic One"...

NO, other then we all go to training at Haborview together, and Seattle FD is who you ride with during training.

No we all don't do blood transfusions and no we don't work 24/48. We do work 24hr shifts, 102 shifts a year to be exact. The schedule is 24on 24off 24on 5Days off with approx. 9 debit days per year

I have done a couple of the courses they put on which have been free to attend. Check their website for classes near you and sign up early cause they usually fill pretty fast.

Congrats! Best of luck to you!

Both really. Truth be told the first time I went and saw one was for a "needed" reason. But, I have continued as an annual checkup. I think this helps do a couple of things. One, it gives you a chance to honestly evaluate yourself, where you are going and how you are treating life. Two, it...
