Been out of the game for a little while, but moved to Tampa and started working for Sunstar. Hell of a lot better than Rural/Metro

Garmin 205w Can be had for about $99 most places and has the stuff you want. I used it on nearly every call before it was stolen and it never failed.

^ Thank you Sasha for pointing out what we all already know. Life is full of risks, everybody has to decide how much risk is acceptable to them. And I've been in two major accidents and numerous small ones (mostly off road) so I know how dangerous they are.

The ever-shrinking Rural/Metro. There's another Metro employee on here too

No reason really. Couple people on here in Orlando, just interesting to see where everyone works.

You work there, I presume

Glad I'm not the only 'tard around! :beerchug:

Cause they're all in the shop getting fixed!:D

Back in college I did bench research in a lab on recovery after stroke using rats. Will be engaging in more research starting this fall.

KTM Duke?

There's a couple departments around Orlando that are/will be hiring. Orange County FD I've heard will be hiring around July or so, Orlando FD will probably hire more too soon since their medics are running around non-stop. Then of course there's the privates around the area. You'd have to...

I can tell you what I did, but I'm in a different place and such. First off, wear a shirt and tie. Doubt there's any kind of running or whatever in the skills test and you want to make a good first impression so just wear a tie. Don't think about it, just do it. Second, the written test I took...

I'm not a P student, but I've always hated taking our 911 pt's to L&D. The nurses are always old, crabby pre-retirees who ALWAYS give us crap for something we're doing/not doing and they're never just nice. A lot of my medic partners had bad experiences in L&D too.

'06 WR450 tagged supermoto. Street tires on 17's with a few extras (slipper clutch, Yosh pipe, Braking rotors/calipers, etc.). Can't be beat for fun around town.

I use two (I carry IWB over my right buttock). One is a cheap Kydex holster that I use for short to medium length trips, it's easy to slip in and out and is reasonably comfortable. On longer excursions or when I know I'll need more comfort I have a Milt Sparks holster that is like butter on my...

Springfield Armory XD subcompact, .40 S&W, Cor-Bon hollow points. Carry everywhere I'm legally allowed to, all year round here in sunny FL.

Among other instances, medics have asked me what the requirements for STEMI are, and have tried to pass off a guy having a STEMI as BLS. It's not so much that I have a problem with them transporting, it's that none of them wants to do it so their going to be lax with their care or try and...

I normally agree with you and do withhold judgement, but I work for Rural/Metro here and have seen on a number of occasions things that should have been taken care of that were not. There are good medics, of course, but the majority are not. And, naturally, there are good and bad medics at RMA too.
