We went whole hog and bought a pull behind camper. Hot showers, a king size bed, AC and an air fryer really make a difference.

This was my jam when I lived in the PNW.

I have 10 CPC 1 or 2 arrest saves and they are ALL because of bystander CPR and defib. Was ALS important? Ehh… I think I might have helped a little, but the bystanders did the important stuff.

The honest answer is, “it depends.” My agency is small. We run about 5000 calls a year and we have very little turn over. We pay very well, have exceptional benefits and it’s considered “the place to work” in my county. I always have more applicants than I have available shifts. We are very...

Thanks all. I have a few calls set up with vendors to talk software after the holiday. I appreciate the feedback.

I have a zoom with them next week. And EMScharts as well
