I'd guarantee that as a basic working 24 hrs a month, I see more "trauma or time sensitive calls" then most medics would I'm also a nys emt-b. Nothing more, nothing less. The point before about als being forever away, my pal @EpiEMS has said this countless times on various different threads...

logic is fun isn't it? why is it i don't get 30$ an hour like you nursing folks do for being an EMT again!!!??? I GOT 5 credits!!

well i won't have painkillers when i get shot... because there won't be a medic next to me ;). not sure what your getting at here... yes bullets go through walls(if thats what you were asking). Casualty collection points are usually where theres limited access points, so you can secure them...

Also listen listen and more listening. Also if it's in the particular area where you will be working. This is probably your first impression to people, make it count!

The layout of the truck i work part time on just so everybody is on the same page is as follows: EMR- Driver/paperwork person -the ccparamedic's narcotics DEA shtuff. EMT- (myself) assist the critical care paramedic in procedures/treatment of the patient. I hold things, prepare things i know he...

then as a LEO i want to be able to get ketamine and intubate people??? If you want the duties of a law enforcement officer, become one. The same as if i want the duties of a paramedic i'll become one. which is what i suggested :D WE AGREE!!!! The rest of your points can be avoided mostly by...

work for the county, so i probably make what most paramedics make(or dam close). EMR's are minimum wage.

I just look at it from a logic perspective. If Medics want plate carriers, GREAT, they want helmets, GREAT, but the carnage that would need to occur to take out a SWAT team (or in my case a SORT team), would be crazy. To be completely honest, if they take out the folks that are trained to...

Correct, strictly to save costs. Anytime i have worked, the EMR has minimal to no patient contact. They mainly drive and organize the paperwork in my experience. (PT CC EMT-B)

tbh i thought it was even less. i thought it was around 40 hours Not to be mean, but to be direct, this statement couldn't possibly be more wrong. EMR is a great starting place, however continuing education is required. I don't think anywhere in the United States an EMT-B (anywhere between...

didn't even think a place like Ottawa would have them. I think that right there is the key. Medics are training in medicine... LEO and SWAT are training in safety and threat neutralization. Paramedics could actually do more harm then good by getting in the way. However, i feel this will be a...

contact your agency, but just know it gets easier to detach yourself the more calls you run.

@BillingSpecialist how would something like phillys police transport work for billing? Where ambulances have a waiting list and urgent things like gsw's and stab wounds just get tossed in a cruiser and taken to the hospital that way? I'd imagine they'd still be billed for the gauss and blood...

When I work in the field as a Leo, they are perfectly fine for me. Take the plastic collar holders for dress shirts and clip it under

@Jim37F soooo is shaka thank you???? oooh ooh i got it, Mahalo is hello!!!!

Try active practical fitness( pushing sleds, using ropes, deadlifts) ya know things you'll actually use in real life. I find the benefit of making my life easier in the future worth it. Or C4..... the pre workout

I say this quite a bit on this forum. Being an emt really isn't the most challenging thing ever. It's more common sense then anything. Pt is bleeding try to stop it, patient isn't breathing try to make them breathe(or do it for them) if nothing works, call for medics. Or take them to the...

@Jim37F 1 person, your golden. but yea get your own modem. You can also proxy for your laptop to boost some speeds.

Not that I know of... and I'd like to think I'd be one of the first to know lol

I just lost one last night :(. "hey nysems2117 you need to replace the lights in our kitchen they're too dim" *proceeds to go to the depot, gets LED lights that are bright so our kitchen is no longer dim, and proceeds to replace them* "what in **** where you thinking are you trying to blind me...
