I would agree that most social media is extremely toxic. I do not use Facebook or anything else like that. My cat does have an Instagram account that my wife set up. But mostly I just see social media as trouble. With that said I'm sorting through a few different job offers from local BLS...

This is an interesting group for sure. Seems like a lot of knowledge on this board.

Thank you Emily!

Awesome work Mike.

Ted was an amazing guy that worked at AMR in Alameda County with me. His movie "Level Zero" was very informative and entertaining. I did enjoy watching it. Ted always had a smile on his face and was a positive guy to be around. Sadly this seems to happen too much in this industry. Lots of folks...

Some people cannot do these vaccines. People who are allergic to penicillin or amoxicillin like my wife. Those ingredients are inside these shots for Covid 19. I'm sure that companies mandating workers to get shots would be something that could definitely be challenged in the court of law. I did...

Wow. Fast acting by those guys. Good on them.

Sadly the amount of money we get paid for the type of situations that we go into is quite the quandary.

Lack of exercise, poor diet, family history, generalized obesity all play a role. I think the prevalence of fast food in our society has also weighed heavily on this preponderance of hypertension.

You will be held accountable to the certification level that you possess. With that said, if you're going to get paid more to be an AEMT you might as well do it. Most of us are in this for money as well as community service.

If you're crazy enough to live in California, they should have given you a temporary before you left the DMV office. If that is not the case, if you have proof that you passed the test I would return to the office and find out what's going on.

I failed to put a 5150 in four point restraints. They seemed nice so I just put them in the wrist restraints. About 5 minutes into the ride to the psychiatric facility, all hell broke loose. My partner and I wound up having to both restrain the person's feet in the back of the rig. Fortunately...

I'm not a cardiologist by any means. But that to me would be an indicator of cardiac strength. It is a muscle after all. I'm sure someone's smarter than I am will chime in here and correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah I feel you. I've been in EMT since 1991. I took some time off from it but always remained licensed and certified. At that time I was working in a refinery. After the pandemic they cut my hours so now I'm back pushing a BLS rig. It's not easy to live in Northern California, the cost of...

Send me your email address if you would please?

When I worked at AMR. I loved what I did. I absolutely detested AMR as a company though. They were very focused on who they liked and didn't like. Certain companies they acquired through acquisitions like the one I came from, many of those employees were treated differently than people who were...

I bet we do sir.

I worked 911 in mid County Alameda County for a long time. I'm at the age where I don't want to go back to that. Just too much drama. I'm looking to try to get CCT or something more low-key. I've got 9 years to retire from my corporate job. San Mateo is a 2-hour drive from my house and I don't...

I worked at AMR in Alameda County for a long time. Now it's all Falck. All my friends that work there don't seem to like it. And I'm only going to be doing two days a week.
