First of all that beard is not professional looking. No way would I let an EMT or medic with an appearance like that go near me. Second of all, if he wants to join the profession, he needs to play by the rules. Lose the beard. If your religion wont let you, then you have some soul searching...

HVA pays better than that. I made 8.85 an hour with them as a BASIC in 2002! Their medics make in the mid teens per hour. as far as an exact rate its DOE.

Pride has nothing to do with it. The city is broke. The people are moving out in droves.. so their tax revenue has dropped drastically. Couple that with high unemployment ( more people that dont pay taxes) and the high level of people under the federal poverty level ( even more people that dont...

He lives over near jackson, MI about an hour-ish to the west. been out to his place there.. he has a nice little piece of land out there.

Have you ever BEEN to Detroit? lol...( on purpose?)

detroit's population is only about 750,000 people right now. The land area is huge, but people are moving out of the city in droves. The city actually thought about using eminent domain to move everyone into the core of the city, then bulldozing everything in the outer ring... and .. get...

Oh yeah.. sprint... cheaper than At&T also... forgot to mention that. Sprint has a 69.99 a month plan (less the 15% public safety discount) that has 450 minutes a month, unlimited text, picture messaging, and internet. They also have any mobile any time, which is where you get unlimited minutes...

I think i saw you in a youtube video actually. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL7yD-0pqZg

Yes, go here and read up on it http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-4g/ You'll find all kinds of the good and bad about them. More good than bad. Ive had mine since launch day (June 4th) and ive had absolutely ZERO problem with it.

Im not saying that they arent useful. I just think that the name is a bit misleading. I feel that EMS needs to start implementing something similar nationwide to deal with the higher risk patients in the community as a rule, not as the exception. I just dont agree with calling them advanced...

Detroit EMS has been doing things similar to this for a while. They used to send all their medics out in Excursions. They've also been known to put two licensed paramedics on an ambulance and make it a BLS unit, because the Medics weren't "promoted" to paramedic from EMT yet. They've been...

I just realized when I looked at the pic ya'll posted on here that I know exactly who you work for. Im from right up the road in stockbridge originally.. did my Medic at HVA in Ann arbor.. small world..!

The iphone 4 was obsolete before it was even released. I have an HTC EVO 4G on sprint, and it makes the iphone 4 look like a doorstop. I have an 8mg camera, AND an 1.3 forward facing camera. I can do video messaging via wif, or 3G, (or 4G for that matter) The phone will record video in Hi...

Ive looked at your APP program and protocols. They dont really seem to have much of an expanded scope of practice as they do more responsibility to be able to give orders on scene for post radio medications, and authorize alternative destinations for patients. We do the same thing here in...

The way I look at it, is that the patient had a significant seizure (3 minutes) and has a history of recent trauma, and is still "dazed and confused" If the patient is not completely alert, and orientated to person place time and event, then they get transported. I know that if I were in...

Thank you for sharing this. Being that EMS tends to be a younger demographic of people, many of us do not realize that some day we will be on "the other side of the cot" as you put it. I will put your husband in my prayers. I know this is not an easy thing for either of you to experience...

If someone has a medical complaint that will result in an admission because of the complaint (not a pre-planned elective admission) then management of that complaint should begin with EMS, especially if they called EMS for the complaint. Until we are given better point of care testing, and EMS...

There is a difference between "id rather err on the side of caution" and wasting resources. If there is no emergent situation AT ALL, and the complaint is something that is really more appropriate for a primary care physician, and there is very little likelyhood that the complaint will result...

Quite often on felony stops where a chase has ensued it is QUITE COMMON to get out of your car with the siren still going. there are MANY MANY REASONS! You just chased after a fleeing suspect (who now is a felony suspect) You have NO idea why they ran, if they are armed, or what their intent...
