Talked to a medic that transported a person with a 3D cell police issued maglite stuck in the rear end. Doesn't sound too comfortable. Sent from my HTC using Tapatalk

Couldn't agree with you more. I hate transporting to CCF or UH Case only due to seeing what its turning into here. Glad im leaving for the army in a couple months! Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

Get my paychecks from Community Care Ambulance Network. Abreviated as CCAN we refer to it as "CCAN'T", or Community Scare. Physicians transport, Med star, Life care, Tri-county inhabit our area too. Sent from my HTC using Tapatalk

I'll share their dirty secrets when I'm done and thru. Four more months and Ill be there jumping in halfway thru as an E4. Sent from my HTC using Tapatalk

I live in Ashtabula Co, and were only 45 mins from Cleveland Clinic. Community Care pays $10.11 for basics, my local 911 pays $13.54 for basics. Not the best, not the worst. Sent from my HTC using Tapatalk

I sing to the dementia PTs all the time. At my second job we have all new chevys that have the aux. Import for ipods and phones so we play Pandora or youtube by Pt request. Makes the whole day go by more delightfuly. Sent from my HTC using Tapatalk

Had not one, not two, but THREE DOA's...not a goodnight in Ashtabula OH. Two minor ems calls, and got to pass out candy to all the kids before at the volunteer fire dept. Not too bad i suppose ;) Sent from my HTC using Tapatalk

I've used the search function here, and used google and can't find much of anything on Cleveland EMS. Straight to it, I've wanted to work for Cleveland EMS for quite some time now, being from a neighboring county, and working for a private company, I see them all the time while doing...

When you accidentally write "EMT-B", "EMT-P" after signing your name on ANYTHING. Did that the other day when endorsing a check and when signing the receipt at the chinese restaurant...odd looks needless to say.

Bought some new lights so it's time to post again on here. I picked up a Streamlight Pro-tac 2L for $35 on amazon. 180 lumens on high, strobe, and 10 on low. Included velcro pouch is really nice too, but I prefer to use the pocket clip and shove it in my back pocket. Also, I got a Streamlight...

Just remembered, on the side of the bench seat in all of our squads we have a little locket specifically for wallets, phones, and other personal belongings. I just don't know if Mr. Boss would be happy with us putting a PT's weapon in there and toting it around with us, or even worse...

If only I actually felt compelled enough to make my status say "Sick of mycrofft" just to match his "Sick of gun virgins posts". Thank you firefite and JPINFV, just because it's about guns does NOT mean it has to go under "tactical/military EMS". Where the heck do you get Military from...

I really wasn't sure what I would do, So I do appreciate all of your responses!

After reading on XDtalk.com in the CCW section for the last hour, this question popped into my head all of a sudden and I figured this would be the best place to get answers. :P Seeing as how it's illegal to have a firearm on hospital premisses, what do you do if you're PT being transported...

http://mobil-medic.com/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=13 Empty, or you can even buy them full. They have a specially made bag just for sports/athletics. I bought the "Truck series bag" empty and filled it at my station. Looks 10x nicer than any of the crappy Galls bags out there and is set up...

Not quite a clown suit, rather a "blueberry suit". I will admit I feel rather ridiculous looking in one.

Vest kept in my left leg pocket, and all squads have a vest in each door pouch.

www.Gibson-Barnes.com has some nice ones. That's who makes ours. Everyone at Northwest Rescue's issued one. They really do work great for night runs especially since we're full-time with paid-on-call auxiliary to man the second and third out squad. Reflective trim, scissor pockets, and all that...

Vitals/O2 Bag Statpak backpack O2, intubation, BVM's, rad57, BP cuff and other airway essentials. Trauma Bag Soft bag made custom by local shop C-collars, basic IV kit, LOTS of gauze, shears, hot/cold packs, etc. Peds/Broslow Bag XL Soft Bag Very cool the way it's set up in my...

Don't become a firefighter just because some dudes told you it's easier to get a job that way. Do it only if you really want to, and think you'd be good at it. Just about every major fire department around now runs EMS and Fire combined, and 90% from what I've seen require your 240 (or...
