    College Park/Grady EMS Fails Child

    I’ll wait for more info on this, but if the FD was on scene with a transport unit and this all went down, then it’s 100% on them..

    Software

    I have launched and managed both ambupro (trash) and ImageTrend. I was hot for ESO when it came out, thankfully at the time a neighboring department was launching ESO and hated it for its lack of customization. I absolutely love ImageTrend on both the back end and the front end. It’ll do...

    Former medic loses bail

    I'm okay with admin leave.. does that help? I'm also okay with the totality of circumstances.. I think each case can be handled individually on their own merit/details.

    Former medic loses bail

    I mean sure. That said - do you want to work with a partner with active murder charges? Do you want a medic taking care of your memaw who has probable cause to say he murdered his wife? What about after he tried to light the helicopter on fire? Doesn't take a detective to deduce he was...

    Needle-less EPI Pen

    I worry the inconsistent absorption will create issues. When MAD devices came out we all thought they'd be the answer to everything, but we quickly found them to be less useful than we thought. They're not useless, but in a time critical event like anaphylaxis, shove a needle in me please.

    Encouraging and discouraging transport

    You ask extremely basic questions on situations you should be encountering almost daily. You need to seek a mentor at your agency with experience and ask them these questions and stop asking random strangers on the internet on issues that have certainly been addressed in some manner at a local...

    And if he was in or near the truck, did he really not see/hear/feel the collision?

    Pittsburgh EMS, FD feud over response times and ‘hostile takeover’

    Can’t argue with that for a second, sadly it doesn’t seem to ever work that way..

    Pittsburgh EMS, FD feud over response times and ‘hostile takeover’

    So the dept I moved to has a lot of basics and a few medics, perhaps I was spoiled because the medics at my old place were pretty solid (at least on my crew), but I prefer all medics.. As a supervisor, there’s the added dynamic of needing to plan out my medic/basic crew based on strengths and...

    Pittsburgh EMS, FD feud over response times and ‘hostile takeover’

    One only has to look at rural metro. When I started rural metro was storming the gates and taking over the world - they had Scottsdale and were going to put public fire departments out of business. They failed Public safety is not profitable, that’s why they’ve never truly succeeded

    Pittsburgh EMS, FD feud over response times and ‘hostile takeover’

    Because ems is so deeply imbedded in the fire service in this area, people come on the job with eyes wide open. The ones that truly hate ems are in the minority. Interestingly, I switched departments about a year ago and we run mutual aid with a third service 911 EMS-only department. I am...

    Pittsburgh EMS, FD feud over response times and ‘hostile takeover’

    Pretty sure it wasn’t about that back then, different times, different mindset.. we’re talking the beginnings of EMS. I do believe my area is among the very first in the area, like the beginnings of EMS as a whole..

    Pittsburgh EMS, FD feud over response times and ‘hostile takeover’

    I’m blessed to work in an area of the country where ems transport has been fire based for 40+ years. Do all firemen like being medics? Clearly not.. but we don’t have squabbles like this and I’m glad for it
