    Did Michael Jackson have only Paramedics attending to him, or also EMT's?

    No, Scout. In LALA land, ambulances are handled one of four ways. Private basic/basic rigs who transport for fire, fire basic/basic rigs, private rigs with at least one of the two crew members being a medic, and fire rigs with at least one of the two crew members being a medic. If you've...

    Did Michael Jackson have only Paramedics attending to him, or also EMT's?

    Peter, LAFD transports for itself. Their rigs are all red, just like the fire trucks. Yes, LAFD ambulances are staffed by EMTs. The news, generally, knows where the celebrities live, when they hear the address, they go, hoping it's the celebrity. As far as MJ specifically, I don't know, and...

    Why are the EMT uniforms in Los Angeles so old?

    Peter, I can't say for ALL of the companies, but, at mine, no, I'm not the first one to wear any of my shirts, or pants. They're provided by a uniform company, who also cleans them for us. You can spend the money for new pants, at my company at least, but, the shirts will still be provided to you.

    Will my weight hold me back from a job?

    We've got people who are big, so, I doubt that's the problem. In SoCal (I assume that's where you are, given your list of where you applied), like nearly everywhere, there's an overabundance of EMTs, and not nearly enough jobs.

    Is your signficant other in EMS?

    My husband/soon-to-be-ex-husband/whatever he is to me this week, is not in EMS. He does do SAR. We've grown apart, he no longer understands me. It is entirely possible that this is unrelated to me being EMS, and totally related to the fact that we've been together since I was 17. Should I...

    CARE ambulance

    Hahahaha, sorry, but, AMR isn't first in SB County. In SB county control lies with whoever gets there first, and, a lot of the time, that's fire. Also in both counties, you get to do 6 months plus time til next shift bid on a BB IFT truck. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but, you...

    Fair Credit Reporting Act Disclosure

    They either want your score, or, to find out about past employment, or both. Your best bet, just tell them about the other job.

    Whole class relied on a test.

    Have to say it. My EMT-B class was the same way. Had to pass not only the class, but also the final, to be able to take not the state test, but National Registry. Welcome to the real world.
