    Not to mention the "entitlement" feeling that 99% of the "customers" we serve have. <_<

    If you are paid, from the moment you clock in. Volly, I would state that anytime you are in an anbulance, the building, or in a piece of uniform. Your mileage may vary. I advise contacting a lawyer.

    Who was your course instructor? GO GET A REFUND! NJ has a very wacktastic view of the law, and if you are certified, you MUST provide aid. However, you can get away with no providing any if you are intoxicated, don't have BSI, etc. Go ahead and drive by an accident. People LOVE to beyotch...

    States and EMT-B Morphine Administration

    Please, start driving. I'll meet you at the state border to show you a little, "Southern Hospitality".

    States and EMT-B Morphine Administration

    Where are these alleged "studies"? They are obviously flawed. Lets think here, CHF pt.... CPAP, NTG. Those alone can turn around a bad CHFer in 10-15 min, avoiding a tube in the hospital. STEMIs, early detection and transport to a cath lab saves lives. Prehospital hypothermia. My...

    Paramedic's Interference Trial May Be a First in Penn.

    Fire Trucks at medical scene

    Then you would see what little you save through tax reductions go bye bye in either A) insurance "adjustments", or B) go up in smoke when the structure catches fire, and you're now dropped insurance is worthless. It IS a very delicate balancing act, and yes, many areas ARE doing it wrong...
