    Salary Keeping Pace with Inflation?

    Our county commissioners are looking at doing a 5% cola plus 1 dollar pay raise this year. On top of the small pay bump my agency put into our budget. It will come out to about 8-9% increase.

    the 100% directionless thread

    Lots of good news and one annoying thing. Annoying thing is someone somehow got my debit card information and bought a tank of gas. One of the good things is my piping instructor told me to bring my bagpipes next week to my lesson. Someone is about to sound like a dieing goose.

    Moving from CA to AZ

    A quick search through their faq makes it seem like all you need is your nremt. And an Arizona address. (Though the address is negotiable in some situations)

    Texas reciprocity/ nremt psychomotor

    If they don't require it I wouldn't do it. Unless you want a national registry card. Which isn't a bad thing to have.

    Two leg amputations after 'incomplete' assessment by paramedic

    Is it bad that anywhere MrBrown said something in the first person I subconsciously switched it to the third person?

    CCT Fly Car

    Single medic fly car. Every state is different. We also would probably continue doing them under the emergency statute we have been but now with a CCT medic and regular medic in the back.

    I'm also trying to see what other ways can we safely do emergent CCT transports with providers who have no critical care knowledge.

    CCT Fly Car

    I appreciate the info. Definitely a good mix of questions which I've either thought about and addressed or am trying to figure out at the moment. 1: if I can find a way to justify the resource. The need is there but the need can't justify the cost unless I find more of a mission than just...

    CCT Fly Car

    We have an easy button that makes everyone and their mother show up guns drawn. We also have a "10 code" but I don't even think dispatch would know what to do if I used it.

    Industrial incident.

    Wind direction, where am I in relation to said wind direction. And how long can I hold my breath? Also curious what the suspected reason he went down. Probably a lot more that I should know... But I'm just a canary.
