iinterviewed with them and thought they were great but I didn’t pass the medical exam due to mild scoliosis

i don’t think the registry sheet will help in the identification process of fractures. That will need more of a recap on patho/phys. as for the scenario questions, I agree with desert medic with reading last line to see exactly what there asking for.

i didn’t have many on my NREMT written but most trauma scenarios wanted the first thing to do on scene with answer being the most basic like “put on gloves” I suggest of trauma is your one weak spot to download the pocketprep app and go through all there trauma questions. What kind of questions...

Other than studying, I felt the test is definitely one that you need to concentrate on what exactly they’re asking for. Most of my questions I found had what they are looking for in the question. Also, pocketprep app helped a lot and I felt the questions on the app were harder than the test...

True, I’ve been hearing a lot of rumors that are not true regarding how it’s going. Still a lot of hate and a lot of people wanting it to fail

so far so good! No issues with calls being ran. They got there first ROSC the other day From what supervisors told me. I believe only real issue is with uploading onto new servers and such but that’s just technical. call wise, all on scene times have been good and no issues with base contact or...

Medic wise in area you have premier/liberty/ lynch/care for OC medics. Premier/liberty/and care typically run IFT. Lynch does also IFT but a lot of snf to ER type calls and 911 for placentia. pay wise, liberty is mid to upper twenties. I believe care has best benefits and transfer opportunities...

what is SSM?

Doesn’t get that hot where I’m at but I have seen this done once working a standby for a rave where we had a patient with suspected molly OD. Core body temperature of 107. Doctor ordered us to put the patient in this big bin of ice and once we got the temp down they flew him out.

For medic or EMT?

basically. We can’t titrate it or anything like that. Just set to pre set rate at sending ER and discontinue if any complications pop up

Oh I bet! Haha I have yet to have a TPA drip but always seemed Counter productive when I will see fire show up for a re triage and have to discontinue a drip of any sorts other than saline.

First one doesn’t make sense with signs/symptoms but if I’ll answer be NRB along with nebulizer treatment. Lungs sounds. 12 lead. Etc. second straight BVM.check pupils

I forget my first 911 call, but first one off training was at Doctors as well. Was a chest pain if I remember correctly

really depends. Typically it’s more of the SNF patient. They do transport Re-triage type calls as well with RSI on board. as for sedation we can transport benzodiazepine infusions. No propofol or paralytics. Then if needed can give verses for sedation In standing orders

At lynch we all get trained on pumps, but we don’t titrate. So far most calls that have pumps tend to be heparin drips that we set to hospitals pre set rate. As for vent calls, we do use ventilators but does require additional class that they have periodically. Typically those calls are...

They were pretty picky on the selection process to make sure it’s a smooth start and to show that crews have the experience they stated they had in the proposal last year.

pretty much the 12 people going over work 911 for AMR Previously within past year or fire agencies as well ( morongo Fire/la Habra heights/ etc) . Everyone starting has at least 3 years experience in 911 setting. They’ve been training for past few weeks on radios/scenarios/ and with the new fire...

Must be haha I thought It was just what 90% of country did 🤷🏼‍♂️

“Very seriously “ sounds weird. What I meant is there trying to make it as smooth as a start as possible and the main person taking over it is doing best to make it top notch. I’m hoping it goes good but we are getting alotttttt of hate
