I'd call it as well. PEA greater than 30 or v-tach/fib gets worked with transport to closest unless trauma center is no more than 15 out. (Closest is a level 3 trauma, next is a community ER 30 mins away) Wide complex PEA 30 or less, pt shall be determined to be dead. Sent from my iPhone...

Working on a 12 hour shift 6a-6p. Get up early and get breakfast on board. What do you guys pack for lunch? Trying to get a new lunch menu, sandwiches get old after a little while. Can run to my station with the fridge, but that's not always an option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea, admitted. In CCU last I heard.

Well, as previously stated.. New medic so bear with me... I learned two things on this call: 1. Severe sepsis can/will have cool skin. 2. Don't trust / rely on monitors BP. Should have taken manual BP on right. It threw me off cause I got two readings within 10 points. Also 20 minutes...

New Paramedic here.. Bear with me on this scenario.. Dispatched to a board and care for an unresponsive male. Arrive to find a 77 year old male sitting semi-fowlers in bed with rapid respiratory rate and rapid radial pulse. His eyes are open, not tracking, he is moaning/grunting with every...

To specify I was saying for this one particular scenario... Witnessed full arrest, 2 minutes from hospital, as an ALS provider, BLS before ALS. However because he is ALS an early defib can be done.

This... BLS before ALS!! PLUS -you can get pads on in less than 30secs. -Witnessed arrest, hopefully (most-likely) V-fib/tach -first defib within :30-1:00 boosts chaces!

Thanks for the input. I'll update when I'm off my shift if it's still up. I think AM shifts will be quicker, but I am a night owl so... We'll see.

7 years EMT-B in busy system. Moved to slower county for P-school and work. Passed didactic starting clinicals tomorrow in community hospital. What should I expect? I have 7-AM shifts and 7-PM shifts (12 hours) AM are for scheduled surg and et's from what I hear. I understand I get what I put...

I'll send you a PM about who to contact in a while. Have a call coming in...

That's what the rumor is. Wouldn't hurt! Good luck to you!

Like people have been saying, it helps to know someone. I got hired a few years ago. I gave them my application and within a month I was hired. It was a little different back then though.

Little info on me. 4 years working at McCormick in LaCo, getting tired of this city and want to get out. Most of my family lives in Paso Robles and Atascadero and I think it would be awesome to move up there. 1.) What is the/your general impression of San Luis Ambulance? Is it a decent...

Nice. I work at McCormick too, currently on shift. Did you get a shift yet?
