I'm sure they do to. Lol. I've only been called out once for a guy that got tased, and they just wanted us to check him out. Approached the police car, and the patient screams "don't f*cking touch me" I think that counts as no patient contact. Officers didn't want to get him out of the car and...

In the event we can't get a hold of our medical director, we are suppose to call the back up medical director, then the 3rd medical director, and in the event we can't get a hold any of them, then we call the emergency room physician of the hospital we are transporting to. Most of the time we...

Per my protocol, we are not allowed to remove them. The sheriff officers have been trained on how to remove them.

The one time I've seen an ectopic pregnancy, was when I was a freshman in high school. It was during basketball practice when one of our players collapsed into the fetal position and was screaming. An assistant coach took her to the hospital and she was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy. I...

Isn't this a HIPPA violation? Lol, j/k. Very cute little guy. I'm glad your chief allowed ya'll to transport it to get help.

i don't remember any math on my test, but its been awhile since i've taken.

or eating decent food.

exactly my point. so if you wanna be sarcastic maybe you should direct it towards the people that say you don't need to work there

interesting how you "don't" have to be an employee of amr but you have to fill out an amr employment application.

you need to be employed by amr, have taken nims 100, 300, and 700 i think. you also need to have your hazmat awareness cert but they will put you through a class for that. it is paid but it's crappy pay, and they've screwed people over many times after deployment

a lot of flight nurses that i know down here are also medics. so one of them is prob also a nurse. as for etmc ground, $26,000 is prob the norm for emt's down here.....although i did make $28,000 last year with not that much ot added in.
