Sounds like a pretty sweet IFT gig if you're running flight crews around. Chances are these people are pretty sick, and you're getting the chance to see awesome clinical presentations. Plus you have a flight crew held captive in the back of your rig on the return trip- They are usually more...

If you revert to name calling in response to that, you're gonna have a very hard time in this field. There are lots of egos and lots of pride in progressive practices, and you will get shot down if you're not entirely up to date. It happens. Nobody means any malice. Take the constructive...

the fact that you work for a laco service called "Procare" goes a long way in explaining your other thread.

A good trick for the DL51 is to look up Qualified Medical Examiners in your area, or call a service and ask who does their preemployment physicals. Often you can get a same or next day appointment and its like $25 cash. I had a DC do mine, he was familiar with the form and breezed through it...

As much as I'd LOVE to roll around in a rig like those, I really don't get it. More expensive to buy, fuel, maintain, and insure. I also don't understand the logic behind throwing that much rescue gear on an ambulance. If your transport crew is playing with extrication tools, you're greatly...

While 911 and IFT crews both have the same pieces of paper in their pockets and have lights on the roof, for the sake of your question, think of them as separate industries. I may be wrong, but I recall reading that research in Phillly indicated that GSW victims do similarly well in police cars...

Call a local EMS service and ask who their employees go to.

You did it with us, so do it with them.

Snapping the knob off your siren console: Ultimate Whacker

Google Analytics give you ads based on how you use all Google products....it probably costs them very little because so few people (people who watch too many air ambulance videos) end up seeing their ads.

That's ridiculous. you take your gloves off and then touch all the other contaminated stuff? When it comes to gowns I think the generally accepted technique is to gown up first, stick your thumbs through the holes, make pt contact, hulk-rip the gown off, and if you set up the sleeves right, the...

Bro I found the best EMS discount ever.

Thanks to the dorky paramilitary uniforms with badges that are normal round these parts, I get called officer a fair amount. The uniform shirt comes off in shady neighborhoods

You guys had all these great puns and not even a PEEP?

I don't know how this post was allowed to sit for two days without anyone acknowledging it.

From what I know, BLS services in SD have no shortage of employees and generally dont schedule people for OT. A lot of SD emts work second jobs or burn up loans

That sounds way easier on the cabinets than my technique ;)
