After 2200 some of the guys get into pajamas...but we allow jumpsuits/coveralls with our logo/name and fire written on it. so..all they have to do is jump into their suits wearing gym shorts/t-shirts and zip their boots on. Also...where is 2 minutes "regulation?" I don't run to the rig...

Agreed. EMT -> EMT transfer is NOT abandonment. I do have a question though...if I arrive on scene with a paramedic and an ambulance. Like...dispatch sends Medic 1 and Ambulance 1 Medic 1 gets there before I do. Then Ambulance 1 (me) gets there. (Medic = EMT-P, Ambulance =...

Used to smoke. I quit for my health...but with my vollie service I was allowed to smoke. On the property, not in any buildings and without a doubt NOT in the apparatus. Occasionally in the bay, but...not really, and I only did when all the garage doors were opened up. We have *huge* bay...

Thanks :) Makes sense now!

I'm not trolling, I'm telling ya'll to stop whining about someone asking you to take a set of vitals, or being hesitant to help move a PT. Hospital workers don't get long breaks in between calls, ever. They are working non-stop most of the time with the same awful hours we have. But there...

This time :P

CCT? IFT? I don't know what those are. Could you unpack those acronyms for me please?

I just do the work. What's wrong with a little sense of pride in what you're doing? Also...why don't they help lift? If you need help. Ask. It will come.

Agreed.

What is IFT? "IFT ambulance" doesn't google up an answer...

I *definitely* needed that diagram to get that. Thanks :D

"It's not our job, it's yours." Meanwhile the PT doesn't have a set of vitals taken. Just do it. *sigh*

The ellipsis meant I got it...and was just...speechless. That's horrible. Although I'm sure if I was more of the firefighter type I would think it was funny.

I think it's time for me to go to sleep. Good night emtlife
