    LA County Medic Wages NOV 2017

    @BabyMedicinLA come out to Liberty, the red headed step child of Kern co. Work 72s and 96s to make the commute worth it, decent pay, good equipment, and pretty ok management as of now. Same Kern protocols, first in ALS 911, 80/20 911 vs transfers, and plenty of rural calls with long transport times.

    first call of the day is...

    Wake up for back pain and generalized weakness, turns out to be a massive inferior stemi, pressure in the 70-80s and junctional in the 30-40bpm range. Follosed up, 100% RCA occlusion, went to Cath lab and now in the icu with stable vitals and a sinus rhythm.

    Stomach flu or no

    Purple lid cavi wipes won't cover you for that kind of stuff. Not with what you've told us. I'd dip any affected cloth or akin area in a 50% bleach solution for at least 30 minutes. The stretcher should be permanently removed from service.

    Hall ambulance insiders how do you get hired fire you have fire background?

    It was one in the same. Shots were fired but didn't hit anyone, stabbed in self defense, fled the original scene and was found a few blocks away. And then the 3 patient stabbing with a fatality a couple weeks back. It's certainly not as bad as it could be, but it's changed since I've been here...

    Hall ambulance insiders how do you get hired fire you have fire background?

    I mean, we haven't sold to Hall yet, so that's something. Its gotten better in the several years I've been here. Equipment has improved, but they've always been good about being the first in the county to implement new toys in the few years I've been here. It's definitely not Texas ems, but I'm...

    Hall ambulance insiders how do you get hired fire you have fire background?

    Show up for Ridealong, complete unpaid ride along, get job offer, fill out paperwork, start training as third man for several weeks. They'll take pretty much anyone that doesn't come off as a complete retard and who isn't impossible to live in station with. Their EMT pay is even lower than...

    Hall ambulance insiders how do you get hired fire you have fire background?

    Liberty is hiring EMTs currently. Delano hires frequently but last I heard they have a full roster. Same county and same system as Hall, als 911, little lower EMT pay and call volume. If you have any specific questions I'd be happy to answer.

    Generalized weakness and SOB

    He hasn't been able to get out of bed for over 24hrs and has not urinated on himself. About 30 minutes after first making contact, his mental status began to rapidly deteriorate.

And they used to be full timers who took another job and...

    Paramedic Programs in SOCAL.

    I had my internship paid for by my employer, but all of our interns from BC have been paying for an internship site out of pocket. The school arranged a site for them, just didn't pay for it. So that's another 2-3k easily. But even so, way cheaper than anywhere else nearby.
