    Critical Care Paramedics in Qatar 98k

    I totally agree more schooling is a benefit to us all. However, there not compensating very many paramedics for it. There was a bill introduced to the house representatives in Pennsylvania 3 years ago. It was to rid Paramedic of Allied Health and make it a recognized profession, with the nation...

    Critical Care Paramedics in Qatar 98k

    You have to consider the economy. Good or bad I don't know too many people who are going to spend that exorbitant amount of money to earn a BS and come out to be paid 15/hr. It's nuts.

    Thanks for the info. When you round up the amount of hours put into my year and a half course it equates to about 3 years of typical college hours spread out. Im not concerned.

    Critical Care Paramedics in Qatar 98k

    PA doesnt truly recognice "CC Paramedic". We're all MICP's. I have 12 years, 8 as lead medic. All years were 911/trans/HEMS systems, again 4 being the busiest ALS system in the Nation. I do not have a degree. Not a common thing when I went through school.

    Is starting an unnecessary IV fraud?

    I tend to agree with you on that remark. I do know of situations where Fire Companies/EMS have used Air Medical in "unnecessary" situations resulting in insurance refusing to pay. In these cases the patients are suing those departments responsible for the activating Air Medical. While a 15K bill...

    Is starting an unnecessary IV fraud?

    Totally disagree. You should be proficient regardless. I honestly don't think IV's are a very difficult thing to do. You either know how or you don't. Some people are better than others. In the case of being green and new, yes time and experience will certainly help. However, any one of us...

    Is starting an unnecessary IV fraud?

    Pre Hospital IV's are grossly over used. So are backboards however. I have worked in a lot different systems. Some were so thankful you even came into the ER with a line while others would raise holy hell if the 21 year old with ear pain didn't have one. With the current state of health...
