    Man Helps Family Trapped In Crash, Gets Billed $143 By First Responders

    I see from post #3 this sounds like a private for profit ambulance/ambulette shop. Any emergency care provider billing a hard working born & raised taxpaying American citizen for an AMA should be reported to the State Health Department. From 2008 until President Donald John Trump ran him out of...

    Any interesting anecdotes about interference with patient care from a CNA, lifegurad, etc.?

    My take on what I'd do when running interference when incompetents try to overrule my patient care. Try to keep up.

    FF Parole Crews

    Methinks why not? Just as long as the candidates don't preempt guys on existing list I'm all for positive rehab, not just rehab for rehabs sake like the mooks who sit around halfway houses all day playing video games for the rest of their miserable existences on the hard working taxpayers dime...

    Nicknames. How did you get yours?

    Furball, got that when we backed a medic unit & a medic handed me his shears & told me to cut this woman's fur jacket sleeve to access her arm for an IV, well I'm cutting & the woman's sister screaming....not because her loving sisters already in respiratory arrest rapidly descending into...

    Any interesting anecdotes about interference with patient care from a CNA, lifegurad, etc.?

    Working the streets of The Rotten Apple while BLS with a good partner, a 70 pound FW Mdl. 8 stretcher & a half broke bus gave me more real world education & a healthy respect for all things on all skill levels EMS then Maspeth could ever give me. L4 training gave me a skill set beyond compare...

    EMT refuses to respond

    There isn't one word, phrase or statement in any part of my post that even "you" could deem inflammatory, racist, sexist, homophobic, denigrating, salacious, libelous or what "you" would stoop to deem politically incorrect. And you demand that I must provide "you" with evidence of what & for...

    Gun Porn

    A great many lovers of their own life EMS workers pack heat like the barely noticeable small lifesaving S&W Model 32-1 38 caliber revolver with semi jacketed hollow points. Not man stopping power but when the copper jacket separates from the lead cartridge it knifes through the viscera of your...

    Pt goes unresponsive en route to hospital

    I guess some people left all they learned at the academy door. If you're ALS qualified you best get them paddles on the patient to see if you've even got a viable rhythm to shock then focus on breath & blood flow. Since it's just you in the back you need to have your partner pull over anyway to...

    Stopping at an MVA out of response area?

    I see the OP is getting blasted so here's my take. If you run for a private, call dispatch & check & advise before doing anything. I worked for privates so I know that vicious money hungry tribe. I've rarely seen vollies run solo for anything even a trip to the coach builder for a mechanical...

    EMT refuses to respond

    Like EMS in many urban environments Detroit was top notch even when the EEOC mandate took effect. I worked alongside good men from the ghettos who came to our jobs & did a good days work & many of them are friends of mine who I break bread with as if they were my own. The problem came when the...
