Sounds miserable

I should probably point out that one of the greatest motivators for military adoption of the sternal IO is readily-identifiable anatomical markers in service members and the relative guarantee that the tissue and bone under a plate carrier/IOTV will remain intact even if limbs (and associated IO...

I’d reckon application directly to an American school is cheaper, faster and easier. American EMS is fairly undercredentialed in comparison, but from the perspective of a faster functional endpoint to the same goal, a 1-2 year academy or community-college course is significantly faster than a...

Hall?

Unpopular opinion here: inability to navigate state licensing mechanisms (not necessarily an inability to pay for them, which is a separate issue) is a predictor for success in the field.

I’ve worked with more than a few LBGTQ partners. We’re all people and this Matt Walsh dude is kinda a malignant growth on the butt of humanity.

Rhode Island, Vermont and New Hampshire sound very interesting indeed.

So, I've been having some silly thoughts lately, and was wondering what sort of EMS they've got in upper New England (VT/CN/MA/RI/NH/ME), particularly with regards to pay, schedule, work/life balance, etc. I'm also curious as to the regional approach to challenges like RSI. Also, same question...

Anyone who needs to ask this question the way you have multiple times probably isn’t interested in a real answer, bro.

Necromancy…ATC is doing direct hires, WilCo is going 48/96. Lockhart exists.

Perhaps you should go back to school for a general education, then approach Paramedicine from a holistic perspective, instead of a gigantic game of Trivial Pursuit.

If NREMT, state licensure and reciprocity are “tedious”, you might want to reconsider this line of work. Also, not to pry, but depending on your disability, you might not be able to physically or cognitively do the job.l, especially as an advanced provider. This is a job that matters and that...

XFL tickets for 2/19 secured. Go Brahmas!

Everyone is unrestrained

Levophed and diesel, rapid transport to cath lab. Dude is in cardiogenic shock and the “care” rendered by the sending facility is minimal.

Anyone have a fly car training course or presentation on-hand?

Your medics are either weak or lazy and are very incorrect if they believe this. Texas has no restrictions on who can take what within your agency’s protocols and processes (including MD authorization) and doesn’t formally recognize critical care credentials in the same way that some other...

Brian, Samuel, Joe Kiff and most of the loyalists are good people who just caught themselves up in lies and dreams. Wren, Brad and a select few others look to have perpetuated those lies.

As of October, they’ll be able to hire directly from the academy and FTO process into the “clinical specialist” / lead medic role. They also got a bit of a pay raise. Not a bad place, but busy, understaffed and the mandatory overtime looms.

I think Brian might have ended up with those weird Medical Jets dudes out of Forney, saw him in a “tactical event rescue paramedics” post on their fb. Weird stuff indeed.
