We need ketamine badly. Only the Spec Ops guys have it right now.

There's no hospital based systems in Travis county (TON of hospitals though). ATCEMS does the 911. Acadian and AMR run the transfers. The new medical director candidates are all quite progressive so the protocols may change for the better. You're looking at about a year to be able to promote to...

When I worked for brewster they had part-time and per diem. So id make sure to ask. Overall a pretty good company to work for, I didn't have any issues there as a new EMT.

X3 on Texas. The place to be for EMS it seems like.

Seems like Orange County is behind the 8 ball a little bit with this whole ETCo2 in sepsis thing. We were going to have an official "Sepsis Alert", until they discontinued the LactatePRO before we received them. Now we just in-code with our findings and the hospital is usually smart enough to...

Has anyone tried looking at the FDNY EMS website? Amazing that they have the answers you need! $31,000 starting pay for EMT. $45,000 after 5 years. $42,000 starting for a paramedic. $59,000 after 5 years. Base salary does not include overtime, benefits or shift differentials. Would be tough...

Internal academy for medic 1s.

Need more medic 2s but I don't believe there is a big shortage. Another medic 2 academy is starting in the next couple months.

We have county trucks that average 2-3 calls in 24 hours and some that have like 10 calls a month lol. Some of the city 24s are the same way but have about 5-8 calls daily. They won't be going anywhere. But unless you have about 1-2 years tenure as a medic 1 or about 8-10 years as a medic 2...

Hahaha

Judged by who? Our community loves us, we have a great relationship with nurses, docs, fire and police. Also, think I was the opposite of a sheep. I went ahead and took the iniciative to be make more, with greater opportunities. Think the sheep are the ones willing to work in crappy...

Whether you like it or not, EMS is a money making business. As much as you'd like to think other wise, that's exactly what it is. The owners of private companies for the most part just care about their profit margins. So why would they pay someone more, when they are fine with accepting so...

And my answer to that is, no one makes you work for 9 dollars an hour. I make more than double that, without built in OT and benefits...and I am a basic. Like I said before. Don't like the way you are being treated? Move or find a new career There's a reason some companies pay so little...

All depends on where you work. We get a lot of funding and are always on the news for something. Being on the news doesn't make me feel better about my job. I remember when a cardiac arrest drove up to the ambulance bay at the hospital. A few of our crews got him back on the pavement and then he...

X2. Constantly hear people saying "oh I don't need the recognition." Yet they complain when they don't get any. Do your damn job and go home, be a normal person.

Just like you could have avoided bringing back a thread from 4 years ago?

Drive with due-regard. End of story.

You're* the one who needs* to be* left at home,* trying to jump at me with some race crap. If I didn't pronounce my word or phrase correctly,* all you have to do is * correct me,* not try to put me down. Also, where was race mentioned by anyone?

And people in EMS ask why we are not paid well as a whole...yikes.
