Currently a Paramedic in Michigan, and in the reciprocity process (very very long process) of obtaining my PCP and then ACP. I've been looking at job openings for the last couple months, and talking with some agencies I am finding out most hire around this time of the year and that is it. I...

Recently we had a structure fire that had a couple dogs and cats inside. They used pet oxygen masks and all ended up surviving thankfully. Well come to find out we only have one or two. Management shot down the idea of purchasing more due to how often we would ever use it and basically it...

Saw they hire folks in as Medic-I which is EMT. How often do they promote from that level to MedicII if you're already a Paramedic? You have to attend their EMS Academy, correct? How many weeks does that run for? I have limited internet access where I am at currently so I can't check...

Looking to hear from some folks that have some knowledge of what the outlook for contract positions for Paramedics in Afghanistan or Iraq will look like in 2014. I understand OHS is currently the big name in Afghanistan, but curious how long they are contracted through. What are some other...

Haven't seen her on here or on the other page since early June. Hopefully everything is alright. Anyone?

This place is a joke. And their lawsuit is proving it GENESEE COUNTY, MI -- A Genesee County Circuit Court judge could decide whether 911 dispatchers continue to send the closest available ambulance to emergencies -- regardless of whether another company has a contract to serve the area...

Ideas? Input on whats going on in the strip? Unable to obtain 12 lead because...well. Things started going downhill fast. It was a warm dark morning, the birds were starting to chirp, and yours truly was trying to get a nap in since we've been running all night. Bam. Called for a...

Pretty well written article and quite interesting

Just curious, I got this random postcard from a place called MEDIC..Mecklenburg EMS Agency Sup with these folks?

this was the absolutely best class I have ever gone to. All EMS people, (EMT's and Paramedics) should have to go to one of his speakings. I learned and enjoyed more today (and it scares me, especially knowing what little lead II shows) than I did in Paramedic school during our "12 lead...

I work for a university police department part time, and we don't have AED's in the car. When I get asked, we get told they have them in the buildings, and they cost too much, and they would need to be mounted, etc. So I have won on the buildings and mounting argument. Now I need to find...

Have you ever had a dream that you run a call, a call that doesn't go right any extreme to the point where, the chances of it happening or nil? Had this goofy dream I don't even remember what it was for but we were taking this lady into the hospital. Younger, but have no idea. Next thing I...

First time in about 3 years, Tuesday night/Wednesday AM woke up with uncontrollable shaking and it got worse from there. 103° fever, dizzy when trying to walk, and bronchitis like coughing. Missed 3 days from my other job, going to make an attempt to work the rig today. I knew it would...
