Where are some locations in Los Angeles County to get a EMD cert? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Not so much anymore, many companies are actually going legit to avoid being raided by the government for medicare fraud. Look at what happened last year with the companies and doctors offices that were doing medicare fraud. One company in Los Angeles, Alpha Ambulance, was raided and closed down...

Ambulance companies here in So. Cal are getting sued for not giving their EMTs lunch breaks. I've worked for a few companies that have already had lawsuits against them, and lost; I've received a few nice checks as the result of the lawsuits. I know some companies are giving official lunch...

I worked for MedReach a few years back, and whichever shift I worked, it was really busy; even working a 24, I hardly got any sleep. I worked in the field for more than 6 years, and I would parked somewhere hidden, mainly because I didn't want to be bothered by people asking me for directions or...

I heard that MedReach Ambulance, based in Gardena, CA, has issued a new policy to their EMTs. The new policy is that EMTs cannot sleep while they post in the field because it looks unprofessional and any EMTs who are caught sleeping will be written up. What does everybody think of that policy?

after you left in 2007, Pacific quit giving us their psych transports, last i heard, they have their own transport vans to take the psych patients to south campus, and they are contracted with two bls companies, lynch not being one of them.

i can understand that salary for executive for a much bigger company, like Care or Rural/Metro that have over 150 rigs, not for a small BLS company that only operated 6 rigs.

i was looking for the AMR driving exam that pretty much had the exact same questions that were on the DMV exam, i've used it before to renew my ambulance cert, but today when i looked for it for a friend, i couldn't find it. i tried searching for it on google but came up with nothing. by some...
