    Doing away with cervical collars

    Good to see this. I can't tell you how many fire guys have insisted that a pt must be placed in full cervical immobilization simply because of MOI. One of my biggest pet peeves.

    Anyone apply for San Diego Fire?

    SD city? Starting pay low 40s and a 401k retirement, I'll pass. As much as I love SD that pay doesn't justify living in a sketch part of town with roommates just to make rent. I'd be cautious about pursing them as a career due to low morale and the overall financial shape the city is in.

    What is your team doing for Ebola?

    We got a one page memo to read and sign about Ebola. Who to contact, what PPEs to wear, and what S/S patients may be displaying. Good to go now!

    Setting an exit date to leave the state of CA feels good, even if it is arbitrary and a few years away. The only issue is my department pays me much higher (even with cost of living factored in) than departments back east. Oh well....

    EMS Unions in So cal

    I'm not found of the saying "you don't like it pick another career". This implies one should simply be grateful of the fact that have a job at all. Nothing will change when the brightest of EMS keep leaving because they fail to follow the status quo. It's obvious why so few EMS professionals...

    My favorite "c-spine due to mechanism" because he was traveling highway speeds. Never mind the fact that the pt denies any head, neck, back numbness or tingling, A/O x 4, etc...

    What would it take to get you to move to another part of the county for a job?

    I'm in the process of looking to move 3k miles away. My main focus is where I want to live and to a lesser extent where I want to work. I'd rather enjoy the area vs having a good place to work but not liking where I live. The areas I'm looking at pay almost half of what I make now, so I have to...

    I don't get it.

    At the end of the day it's still just a job. A service you provide in return for compensation. Glad you have a passion that keeps you involved, and I'm sure you are great at what you do, however, it does not define you as a person. And I hope you have a long career in EMS because if there was a...
